Join us for the MOSL Norming Conference @ TC: May 5th & May 12th

As we're nearing the end of the school year, negotiating the assessments are on everyone's mind. Adding the MOSL Assessments to the mix makes a busy time of year even more complicated. 

CPET has been working behind the scenes with the NYC DOE to develop instructionally relevant and transparent scoring guides for the MOSL - New York City Performance Assessments in English, Social Studies and Science.  Our MOSL team worked hard to identify anchor papers that not only show the spectrum of performance on the the NYC Performance Assessments, but explain in multiple ways how the NYC DOE rubrics can be interpreted.

Norming using the anchor papers and rubrics is an important task in any assessment system, but especially because these high stakes assessments have implications on teachers' ratings, it seems even more important for norming and scoring to be responsible, thoughtful, and aligned by shared interpretations.

Because we feel so strongly that teachers are able to use every tool available to navigate these new mandates, we're offering an opportunity for free professional development in norming the assessments with our experienced coaches.  Teachers, coaches, and school leaders are welcome to join us as we facilitate norming sessions for NYC Performance Assessments in Social Studies, Science, and English Language Arts grades K-12.

Participants will work in grade/subject area groups to review the tasks, analyze the rubric, and use the anchor papers to norm their scoring practices.  We welcome individual teachers, teacher teams, school/organizational coaches, and school leaders/administrators.  Materials will be made available for turnkey PD at the school level.
