Things to think aboutBenchmarking Student Work
![Page 21: MCA Benchmarking Orientation Webinar](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56649f135503460f94c27be4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Benchmarking as a three-step process
1. “Priming the Pump” - Familiarizing yourself with the MCA, the rubrics for your MCA’s, and a few student work samples.
2. Scoring student work individually – prior to the Reston meeting – including how to do this
3. Benchmarking work as a team – the Reston meeting

Priming the Pump
• Review the MCAs prior to your discipline specific meeting• What questions do you have – in particular, regarding the rubrics
• Attend your discipline specific meeting• Dive deep into the MCAs for your discipline – specifically the
rubrics that you will be using for your evaluation of student work
• Get a sense of the work• Pull Random samples of student work – see what’s there – see the
range of what’s possible• May do this on your own• May begin this work with your discipline training

Scoring Individual Work
• Work will be found on a Moodle site • You will have access via a username/password • You will find folders of student work – student A, student B, etc.
• Review the totality of the student work available for each student
• Provide your scores – based exactly on the rubrics in the MCAs – using an online survey• We will also ask for a holistic score
![Page 25: MCA Benchmarking Orientation Webinar](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062520/56649f135503460f94c27be4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)

Benchmarking as a team
• Based on your individual scoring ahead of Reston• Pull 90 student work samples (including examples from all
grade levels) • As a team, you will determine which meet “standard”• Opportunity to discuss the student work samples• Opportunity to come to consensus• Opportunity to determine when we cannot come to consensus• … and possibly why?
