How Leaders Use This for English / ELA Teachers

Writing Moderation and Calibration Sessions

Build agendas for writing moderation meetings, reviewing student writing samples against the rubric, calibrating teacher judgments, and establishing grade-level writing norms.

Reading Curriculum Alignment

Structure meetings to coordinate text selection, reading level progression, and comprehension skill development across teachers in the same department or grade level.

Common Assessment Development

Generate planning agendas for ELA common assessment design, aligning on the skills being assessed, developing reading passages and writing prompts, and establishing grading protocols.

Instructional Strategies Sharing

Build professional development agendas for ELA teachers sharing effective approaches, new annotation strategies, discussion protocols, writing workshop techniques, and grammar instruction approaches.

AP English Course Coordination

Structure AP English Language and AP English Literature coordination meetings, synthesis essay development, independent reading coordination, exam preparation pacing, and FRQ practice planning.

Curriculum Review and Text Selection

Generate agendas for annual curriculum review sessions, evaluating current text selections, considering new titles, reviewing diversity and inclusion in the reading list, and coordinating changes across courses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Writing moderation requires enough time for genuine collaborative calibration, typically 20-30 minutes for a focused session using 3-5 sample papers. Build a separate agenda item for moderation with this time allocation, preceded by a brief framing of the assessment criteria and followed by a decision item where the group confirms the agreed-upon scoring approach. Rushing moderation produces inconsistent grading that undermines the purpose.
