Improvements for TED 2015…because you asked!

Articulation Time

• Articulation Time will be grade level and/or content specific. Teachers in all specialty areas will meet with one another, discuss standards and topics important to their grade level and/or content areas. Teachers will register for a grade level band and/or content area.
• The Writing Prompt – optional for teachers in grades 3-12. No expectation that you participate in the writing exercise with your students, but we offer the exercise here as an example of an integrated religion/writing opportunity. During the articulation time, teachers will see actual student samples of this prompt, score the samples using the rubric, and compare how we assess students based on the rubric. Four schools representative of grade levels 3-12 have volunteered to participate in the writing prompt, and we will use these papers as student samples in our quest to better calibrate rubric scoring.
