A graduate student named Rebecca is organizing a workshop for international educators and is requesting sample essays from college students. She needs the essays to have instructors and tutors analyze what writing strategies students used to complete assignments. Rebecca ensures the students' names and personal information will be removed from the essays. Workshop participants may only know if the writing samples are from a four-year or two-year college.

U:PASSwrite is a student-led class that provides assistance with writing for the MPO subject. In the relaxed atmosphere, students can get feedback on their essays from peers and leaders. Leaders help with understanding tasks, structure, grammar, and vocabulary, while not completing assessable work. Sessions are one hour and involve identifying needs, researching, reading, writing skills, and annotating peers' work. Students must register for one of four weekly groups through the HELPS booking system. Previous students found the classes very helpful for improving their writing skills and achieving higher marks.

Cooperative learning with_carousel_brainstormi
This document describes the cooperative learning strategy of carousel brainstorming. It involves dividing students into small groups that rotate between stations in the classroom, spending designated time at each station brainstorming ideas in response to questions posed. As groups rotate, their ideas are recorded at each station so that all groups can read and build upon the ideas. The roles of recorder, speaker, and mediator are assigned to structure participation. Sample questions and a wrap-up activity are provided as an example for using this strategy to brainstorm books related to social justice themes.
Hybrid Peer Review Workshop
This document discusses improving peer review through hybridization. It notes that traditional in-class peer review is often ineffective for second language writers. A hybrid approach uses an online discussion board for initial peer review, followed by an in-person discussion. Students found benefits to the online component, such as having more time to provide detailed feedback without pressure. They also felt more honest criticism was possible online. The hybrid approach aimed to address limitations of traditional methods while maintaining benefits of face-to-face interaction.
3rd grade state testing
The document provides information about the upcoming 3rd grade state testing for ELA and math. For ELA, the test will be administered over three days and will include multiple choice, short response, and extended response questions assessing reading comprehension and writing skills. Students will encounter both literary and informational passages. The math test will also be over three days and include multiple choice and short/extended response questions assessing various math domains. Suggestions are provided for ways parents can support their children's preparation at home.

Webinar Description
In their quest for accountability in assessment, teachers might forget those to whom we should first be accountable: our students. Providing students with clear, accessible, and understandable assessment materials promotes accountability. Unfortunately, assessment of student writing is one of the tasks teachers worry about and, at times, nearly dread.
During this presentation, participants will learn procedures for developing tools for writing assessment that are transparent and understandable to students and that act as both teaching and assessment tools. We will first consider assignment criteria – what is it that we want our students to do? We will then consider the rubric, a grading instrument, which offers objectivity, consistency, clarity in assessing writing and concentrate on holistic, analytic, and to a lesser degree, primary trait assessment. We will also consider when and for what kinds of writing assignments each of these rubrics are most appropriate. Additionally, we will examine the components of rubrics (the criteria, the weight, the description) and the steps in creating a good rubric and how assignment criteria informs rubric creation.
Designing Writing Assessments and Rubrics will consider the issue of accountability in classroom assessment of writing. The absence of fair and transparent assessment often leads to student confusion, slows progress, assumptions of professorial arbitrariness, and quite possibly lack of trust in teacher-student relationships.

This document discusses the Writer's Workshop approach to teaching writing. It emphasizes that students learn to write best when they write frequently, on self-selected topics, and receive guidance from the teacher. Key aspects of the workshop include students choosing their own writing topics, mini-lessons from the teacher, student-teacher conferences, and opportunities for students to publish and share their work. The overall goal is for students to see themselves as writers and gain confidence in the writing process.

The document also addresses managing the rest of the class during conferences and establishing independence in student writing.

- 1. School for International Training 1 Kipling Road Brattleboro, VT 05301 9/23/13 Dear Student, My name is Rebecca and I am a graduate student in International Education at the School for International Training. On October 24, 2013, I will co-present a workshop at a conference for international educators in Vermont. In order to host this workshop, I need sample essays from college students. Would you be willing to share your writing with me? • Will anyone know my name? No. Your name and all other personal information will be removed from your essay. Workshop participants may know if writing samples are from a four-year or two-year college. • Who will read my writing? Writing instructors and writing tutors will read your essay and the essays of your peers. The instructors and tutors will also read the writing prompt or assignment you received in class. • Why should I share my writing? Whether you love writing or think that you’re not a great writer, you can help instructors teach better. Additionally, your knowledge of an assignment may help a student with less experience or familiarity with that kind of essay feel more confident. • How will my writing be used in the workshop? Writing instructors and writing tutors will look at the assignment you received in class. In small groups, they will read your essay and discuss what writing strategies you and your peers used to complete the assignment. What other questions do you have? Please email rozek@uwalumni.com for more information about sharing your writing. Please select a response to the question below. I agree to share my writing for the NAFSA Region XI conference on October 24, 2013 in Vermont. I understand that no one will see my name. q YES q NO Thank you very much for your time!
