Protocol

Count each type of error only once. For example: If a student misspells the same word multiple times, count it as one error. However, a second misspelled word is a second error. The same will be true for grammar errors.

If verb tenses are used correctly but misspelled OR CONJUGATED INCORRECTLY, score the error under grammar only, NOT UNDER ACCURATE USE OF VERB TENSES. (ex: Yo era cansado.) The student is using the imperfect which is the right tense. However they should use ESTAR which is a grammar mistake.

Be sure to make copies of all documents to include student writing and rubrics. Send the original rubrics to testing.
