WERA Slide 12  Format ◦ Actions students could take ◦ Grade level bands

WERA Slide 13 In general, students fail to earn points toward a better score because of incomplete responses or incomplete mathematical representations. Students could improve their scores by:  Reading the entire prompt before beginning the solution;  Answering the question or completing the task in the prompt;  Using bullets as a checklist to make sure the response is complete.

WERA Slide 14  Students misrepresent what they know and understand.  Students can improve their scores by following guidelines in Lessons Learned.
