Scoring guides include the following information for both SCRs (when applicable) and ECRs:  \n▪ the prompt;  \n▪ the scoring rubric; and  \n▪ annotations for student responses.  \nWhat is anchor approval?  \nAnchor approval, also known as rangefinding, is the process of defining the range of performance of student responses that fall within each score point on a rubric. In other words, it is the process of determining how to apply the scoring criteria consistently to student test responses, thereby determining the standards used to score student responses on STAAR.  \nDecisions made at the anchor approval meeting are the basis for subsequent development of a scorer training program.  \nThe work of the anchor approval committee supports the scoring process for constructed response questions.  \nScoring vs. Grading  \nAnchor Approval Committee  \nProcess  \nPurpose of Anchor Approval  \nCommittee  \nWhen formally assessing students in the classroom, how do you determine the grade a student receives?  \nIs there always a clear line between whether a student receives credit for a response?  \nHow do you determine if they should receive partial credit?","cbCaiegCXhhhcNjK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiegCXhhhcNjK","pdf",2894059,57,"English","# Assessment Overview and Anchor Approval Committees\n## Purpose of Anchor Approval\n## Scoring vs. Grading","[{\"question\":\"What do EIR committees review for STAAR constructed response items?\",\"answer\":\"EIR committees review reading and writing constructed response items and their associated rubrics, including feedback on the ECR prompt and item-specific rubrics.\"},{\"question\":\"When are edits made to SCR item-specific rubrics in the review process?\",\"answer\":\"Edits are made to SCR item-specific rubric(s) through the educator item review process before the question has been field-tested.\"},{\"question\":\"What is anchor approval (rangefinding) and why is it used?\",\"answer\":\"Anchor approval is the process of defining the range of student performance for each rubric score point, ensuring consistent application of scoring criteria across STAAR responses.\"}]","STAAR RLA Update - Anchor Approval Committees | PDF",1790797354,144]
