Fairfax County Public Schools - PALS: Performance Assessment for Language Students

Scoring the Level 1 Speaking Task (Analytic Rubric)

 

Step 1 - Determine the Raw Score

Determine the points attained for each domain (Task Completion, etc.) Half points may be given, i.e., 1/2, 1 1/2, 2 1/2 or 3 1/2. Add up the points from all the domains. This figure is the Raw Score.

Step 2 - Convert the Raw Score to a Percentage Score

Using the chart below, determine the Converted Percentage Score.

Step 3 - Determine the "Gradebook Score"

If you use points in your gradebook, use the Conversion Chart or the following formula:
 
Converted Percentage Score x maximum points/100 = student's points score
