Teacher Using Sources Tool (UST)

The Using Sources Tool (UST) is designed to be a tool for collaboratively looking at student writing in C3WP professional development. Modeling the process for looking at student writing beyond a score supports teachers in understanding the UST as formative assessment. Important note: Analyzing student writing with the UST is dependent upon the Scale Point Definitions. Be sure teachers are provided with both the UST and the Scale Points. For support in using the UST in professional development, see Resources for Introducing the UST in Professional Development.
