Do you trust teachers and principals to be honest graders<br />of high stakes tests when their own livelihoods are at stake? I don't and I bet you don't.

THe graders just went down the line on the sheet rating 0 and 0 for the critical lens. I saw a student with a 4 page essay with the traditional introduction and interpretation of the lens (weak), and two works (with an admitted over-reliance on plot summary) given a 1. I saw another similar student who wrote a page and a half, with interpretation and 2 works, also over-relying on plot summary, but with a conclusion tying back to the lens, with a grade of 0. There were many other instances. Our students were poorly served by the scenario. Students in other rooms were graded completely fairly by other grading teams.<br /><br />How do I explain what happened to my students? The rubric wasn't followed. Needless to say, I cannot tell where the breakdown happened, but the affected students will have a hard time mustering the faith to keep trying.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-91473071383948972552013-02-13T20:56:00.426-05:002013-02-13T20:56:00.426-05:00Thanks for writing this.
