(a) The department shall establish policies
and procedures that foster, to the extent possible, the scoring of student
responses of an open ended writing assessment on a statewide
summative assessment by Indiana teachers. The teacher may not grade
student responses of students who are enrolled in the same school
corporation, charter school, state accredited nonpublic school, or
eligible school (as defined in IC 20-51-1-4.7) in which the teacher is
currently employed.
(b) The scoring of student responses under a statewide summative
assessment:
(1) must adhere to scoring rubrics and anchor papers;
(2) must measure student achievement relative to the academic
standards established by the state board; and
(3) may not reflect the scorer's judgment of the values expressed
by a student in the student's responses.
(c) The department, in consultation with the technical advisory
committee established by the state board, shall conduct a study to
analyze and determine the reliability of machine scoring student
responses to items on the statewide summative assessment. After
conducting the study, the department may, if recommended by the
technical advisory committee, utilize machine scoring for purposes of
scoring student responses to items on the statewide summative
assessment.
