Analytic Tools
Matt Rosenau made some alterations to the NDE Raw Score Calculator below. This calculator will take the composite score and automatically compute if a student is below, meets, or exceed expectations based on NDE's conversion and scoring guide. The "averages" tab will calculate an average for each domain score on a 4-point scare and an average composite score. This file is view only, so go to "file" then "make a copy" to use it.

=** ESU 6 Analytic Scoring 2012 **=

Thanks to everyone who participated in the 2012 spring scoring. We value the multi-faceted benefits of analytic scoring such as the formative feedback about student writing and discussion focused on writing instruction and assessment. Comprehensive results were emailed to district PDAC members. Participating teachers were also sent electronic copies of papers flagged for classroom use. We strongly encourage district teams to include these data in their grade level and program analysis. Lenny and Jen will gladly help in these efforts.


 * 1929 student papers
 * 7716 scores
 * 47 teachers/administrators
 * 10 districts
 * 9 pre-service teachers

**Exemplars and Models** //Please email Jen (jmadison@esu6.org) for electronic copies of the 2012 or previous papers. Please specify the grade level(s) of the papers you would like.//
