In 2004, a number of administrators and educators from Orange County, FL approached us to help them fill a need. Their students were struggling with successfully completing open response questions and essays. For various reasons, the schools' local efforts at assessing their students' abilities with open-ended questions and essays were not yielding reliable objective data, and they were unable to find any company that could affordably hand score open-response questions and essays with human scorers. As educators and teachers with strong technology backgrounds, we found ourselves in a unique position to fill this need. Consequently, our programs were designed, tested, and approved by a diverse team of administrators and educators to meet state standards and affordably fill the real-world educational and budget needs that face individual schools on a daily basis. What can Write Score do for you? Using our analytical approach to writing, teachers are able to determine the areas where their students' need additional help and provide differentiated instruction to optimize student growth. With data-driven classroom instruction, teachers can effectively use classroom time and resources to achieve their educational goals. Write Score has successfully been able to develop writing products that meet important educational standards: • Align with state standards. • Analyze a student's ability to apply his knowledge in a performance task. • Recognize the constraints of real-world school budgets. • Provide the most relevant information needed by administrators and teachers. • Provide a quick turnaround time for scoring papers and returning relevant data. Since our first response to Orange County needs, we have hand scored over 1,500,000 hand-written performance tasks and now serve schools in most Florida counties and several additional states. How do we do it? The process is simple: We create an assessment that mirrors your Tennessee state assessment, the TCAP Writing test. You may use one of our recommended and validated prompts, or you may create your own prompt. We pre-print, package, and ship the test booklets according to your student data and testing criteria. You administer the tests according to your student data and testing criteria. We score the tests, analyze the results, create detailed reports at a variety of levels and send them to you, usually within ten days. You and your teachers then have the data you need to improve student achievement: How your students will likely score on the state-mandated assessment Which skills your students have mastered Which skills your student have NOT mastered Where to focus your efforts and intervention strategies How to differentiate instruction for each and every student who was tested How much progress students have made toward your instructional goals Why Write Score? Nobody else provides these services as quickly, conveniently, or economically as we do! We make it easy for you to predict your student performance on state assessments, identify student weaknesses and address them before the test, differentiate and evaluate instruction based on relevant data, and monitor progress in essential curriculum areas.
