Elementary Writing Assessments
An On Demand Writing Assessment Prompt and rubric is provided for each grade level.
A recommended timeline for giving the assessments is to administer an assessment in the middle of quarter 2, middle of quarter 3 and end of quarter 4.
Teachers may determine the order in which they give the assessments.
The assessments are designed to be given within a 35-minute period, including time for teacher directions, time for students to organize their thoughts, and time to answer the prompt.
It is suggested that teachers score the On Demand Writing as a group with teachers in their team if possible.
The student writing samples and Writing Assessment Record will be kept in the Language Arts folder.
The On Demand Writing Assessment Prompts and Writing Assessment Record will replace the Writing Checklists and work samples that were piloted in the 2011-12 school year.
