2020-2021 Interim Assessment Hand Scoring Workshops for Teachers
CAASPP and ELPAC email update, October 5, 2020.
Dear California Educators:
The California Department of Education is pleased to announce the 2020–2021 Interim Assessment Hand Scoring Workshops for Teachers. These virtual hand scoring workshops will engage educators, largely classroom teachers, in understanding the process of hand scoring Smarter Balanced assessment items as a way to deepen understanding of the content standards, strengthen the evaluation of student work, and promote the use of student results to inform teaching and learning.
The workshops will be free of charge with 20 sessions offered—10 for English language arts/literacy (ELA) and 10 for mathematics. Some sessions will be a single 4-hour session, while others will stagger the 4 hours over three days so teachers can attend after school without the need for substitutes.
