Why might there be two assessors observing the same classroom/group of children?
Assessors participate in on-going reliability visits where two or more assessors participate in the same observation. The purpose of these regularly scheduled reliability visits is to assure that all of the assessors use the same criteria and rationale for scoring items. These on-going visits support the objectivity of assessments and assure that all of the assessors across the state score items the same way.
