What is Write Score?

Write Score assessments put these important tools in YOUR hands:

Student essays that are hand-scored according to state-mandated criteria and reflect similar findings. Machine-scored essays cannot mirror the state's scoring process to provide accurate results. Write Score uses professional, trained scorers in a process that replicates the state's scoring process.

   

An analysis of student writing that identifies strengths and weaknesses to inform the most effective instruction and guarantee differentation according to needs.

   

Individual student data reports linked directly to an online bank of targeted lesson plans designed to meet specific needs of individual students, small groups, or whole classes. Teachers can access data and lessons anytime, anywhere to provide immediate intervention or support.

   

Professional development for educators to support data analysis and best instructional practice. Write Score provides training and materials to help teachers use analytical results to identify student needs and design instruction to help students master those needs.

   

A convenient, cost-effective package that fits easily into school budgets as well as into the instructional day. Write Score's paper-and-pencil process arrives ready for easy administration within one class period, and analytical results are returned within 10 days.
