Writing Rubric Conversion Table



Here it is...
The only issue is that it make a score of 4 an A. You can adapt this as needed.  

ANALYTIC WRITING RUBRIC CONVERSION TABLE - DRAFT
Stiggins et al. suggest, the objective of grades is to communicate student achievement and it is best not to convert rubric scores to letter
grades, if it can be helped
(2006, p. 316).   If conversion is necessary, the conversion table below will help with the process. Since cut-offs
for letter grades vary from district-to-district, a letter grade was not included on the table. 
When using a weighted, analytical rubric, follow the steps below:
1.      Score each individual section of the analytic rubric and total the points. 
2.      Use the conversion table to determine a student’s analytical score and/or percent.


Score of a 4
Score of a 3
Score of a 2
Score of a 1
Organization/Purpose (X2)
4x2=8
3x2=6
2x2=4
1x2=2
Evidence/Elaboration (X2)
4x2=8
3x2=6
2x2=4
1x2=2
Lang/Conventions (X1)
4x1=4
3x1=3
2x1=2
1x1=1

Example:  John scores – O/P 4, E/E 3, L/C 3.  Analytic score is 4+3+3=3.3 and points would be 8+6+3=17.  On the Conversion Table, 17pts = 3.3 = 92%.  Please keep in mind, the performance level of a “3” is meeting the grade level standard; the performance level of a “4” exceeds the grade
level standard.
