Calibration Activity Tips
(for a paper w/ an annotation)
• For small groups, use chart paper or the
whiteboard to tally scores.
• For large groups, electronic tallying is more
efficient.
• The group facilitator should focus the group on
justifying their scores with evidence from the
student paper.
• Spend adequate time trying to reach consensus
before sharing annotations.
• Be careful not to “double ding.”
Calibration Activity Tips
• Guiding Questions:
– What language on the rubric did you highlight?
Why?
– What evidence in the student paper led you to
that score?
– How does the evidence in the student paper
relate to common core expectations for the
appropriate grade band?
