| Student Score Worksheet – Grade 5 [PDF] |
Student Score Worksheets must be printed and used to record each individual students’ ratings aligned to each core extension for each activity for Grade 5. This working document is used by the Trained Teacher Administering the Alternate (TEA) to record each student's ratings any time a Performance Task is administered over the course of the school year. Safely store the Student Score Worksheets following the completion of each Performance Task activity. The TEAs must save their hardcopy Student Score Worksheets for future reference. Once all Performance Tasks are administered, the TEAs must enter the student ratings into the Data Entry Interface (DEI) for scoring. The TEAs must submit ratings for each student through the DEI so that student responses may be scored for state reporting. Submission must be completed between March 27 and June 2, 2023. Only Trained TEAs may submit Student Score Worksheets though the DEI. |
