Scorer's Table

My target group included all students in my US History and AP US History classes.

• Active Learning Strategies Toolkit

• History department discussed the use of scorers table protocols modeled after our own regents scoring protocols

I am not great with data but it looked like this was initially successful.  Here is some data:

• APUSH timed writing submission rate = 100%

• APUSH untimed writing submission rate = 80 - 90%

• USH untimed writing submission = 63%

• USH timed writing submissions = 78%

APUSH FRQ Pre Scorers Table average score:

• P3 FRQ A = 2.64

• P3 FRQ B = 2.92

APUSH Post Scorers Table average score:

• P4 FRQ A = 3.07

• P4 FRQ B = 3.126984127 

• P5 FRQ A = 3.394736842

Teacher reflection: 

Both of these types of activities should be done frequently.  In fact I would say you should do scorers table for each rubric you assess if there is time.  And all writing should be timed and completed in class.  In practice this is hard to do but it is a goal.

Student reflection:   

No quotes but  students generally enjoy scorers table. They like the opportunity to be the grader.  In APUSH they have become quite proficient with the process and rely on it as they also to it in AP Lang.
