6. KYOTE Writing KYOTE Writing Exam Scorers at Participating Schools
Prepare to score exams
More than one scorer needed per school
Six hours of PD Credit awarded from KYOTE
Exam Scoring
Each exam scored twice. A third time, if the first scorers do not agree. Ensures accuracy
Scorers assigned about 15 exams at a time
Could be multiple bundles; totaling 15 exams.
Exams from other schools in the district may be assigned to be scored. The assigned scorer should contact if there are issues with the exams to be scored. (family member, taught student, etc.)
For bundles containing less than 15 student exams, a scorer may be assigned multiple bundles. KYOTE will try not to have more than 15 exams to score between the bundles, at one time. Please expect to see more 6

7. KYOTE Writing Test Sessions
Creating large exam classes within the system has been an issue for distribution of scoring.
Exam classes should be limited to 15 students.
If more students need tested, create multiple exam classes (e.g. to test 30 students, create two exam classes of 15).
