All student writing in my class is graded using the TCAP writing rubrics provided by the Tennessee Department of Education. There are 16 total points possible. To determine a student's grade, I take the amount of points earned and divide that number by total points possible. For example, if a student earns 14 points, I would covert the fraction 14/16 to a decimal (0.875). I would then round to the nearest hundredths place, resulting in a final score of 88/B.
Please use the dropdown menu at the top of the page to view the writing rubrics for each mode of writing.
