Scoring
Practice scoring Math and Science data using the ELS. Read the data on the next page and provide a score based on this data.
Remember these guidelines:
- In order to score an item, the evidence must vary (i.e., evidence cannot all be about one specific skill, such as name recognition) and it must apply to all the strands in the item.
- It is the quality of the anecdote that enables you to score, not necessarily the quantity. Only on very rare occasions can you have a clear picture of a child from one anecdote. Continue observing and documenting with a focus based on the evidence already collected.
- Interact with the children by probing to gain further insight into what they know or understand.
