of their assigned students, raters are
highly encouraged to collaborate with
other teachers and school personnel
who have knowledge of the students’
English proficiency.

Two Types of TrainingO Online basic training course
This course is for new raters. It provides instruction on using the PLD rubrics and gives raters practice rating students in each language domain. There are separate courses for K–1 and 2–12.
O Online calibration This is for all raters. Raters use the PLDs to rate students in each language domain. Raters have three opportunities to calibrate on assigned grade cluster.

Why is calibration necessary?
O Calibration helps ensure that raters have adequate training, including ample practice and feedback, before they assess their students in the spring.
O Calibration ensures that raters clear their heads and consider only the elements of student performance included in the PLDs.
O Calibration supports assessment validity and reliability and is an important part of holistically scored assessment processes.

What happens if a rater is unsuccessful in calibrating?
Two outcomes are possible for individuals who complete the calibration activities but are not successful:
O The district may choose not to assign the individual to be a TELPAS rater.
O If the individual is needed to serve as a rater, the district must implement rater support procedures to ensure that the rater’s students are evaluated consistent with the rating rubrics.
Individuals are not authorized to serve as raters unless they complete the required training
components.
