5. What do I Do After I Receive My Scores?
Connect feedback statements to rubric of your score.

8. Step 2. Go to the rubric that matches your score

9. Feedback statement Rubric Writing
Look for incomplete feedback, inaccurate, or not focused on the ideas in the writing. Is my content knowledge limited? Check content standard!

10. Come to Understanding
Determine if the score represents practice or lack of evidence
My class is caring and helpful.
My class created norms and sentence frames for giving each other feedback and disagreeing respectfully.

12. Use Standardized Feedback Statements (Component 4 score 2.25)
Read your statement: You may wish to provide more consistent and convincing evidence of your ability to assess the progress of a class as a whole as well as individual students, and to adjust instruction as needed to improve student learning.
Find that skill in your rubric (Level 2) selects or creates assessments that measure what he/she intends to measure and understands how to use assessments for formative and summative purposes to gain information about student progress and to inform and modify instruction. The assessments may be inappropriate or ineffective for the intended purpose. 
Go to your matching questions: What adjustments to the unit plan did you make based on the results of the formative assessment? Be sure to show a direct link between the information you gleaned from the assessment data and the instructional plans you made. 
If you achieved a score less than 3.75 on a portfolio component, feedback statements appear on your score report.
Feedback statements are component specific, score-point specific and organized by the Five Core Propositions.
Feedback statements provide insight about the evidence in your portfolio components and highlight points to address for stronger evidence.

13. Use the score calculator to figure out which components to retake or where you are
National Board provides a score calculator so you can experiment with different scenarios to help you figure out which components to retake.
In your Canvas materials for the December 9th session, there is also a score calculator to help you.

16. Three Types of Writing/ thinking
Descriptive- involves a retelling of what happened in a classroom situation. This kind of thinking is meant to “set the scene” for assessors. Words like state, list, or describe, or asks what or which Analytical- deals with reasons, motives and interpretation and is grounded in the concrete evidence provided by the materials your candidate submits. Words like how, why, or in what way(s) Reflective-is a thought process that occurs after a teaching situation and allows candidates to make decisions about how they would approach similar situations in the future.
