Time-Saving Tool Helps 6+1 Trait® Writing Model Users Grade Writing

Teachers love a lot of things about the 6+1 Trait® model: it helps them improve their writing instruction; it shows students what good writing looks like; and it creates a common vocabulary to discuss writing. But, the main drawback to the model has always been the time-consuming calculations required to convert rubric scores to grades.

NWREL offers a convenient solution that ensures accuracy—the 6+1 Trait® Rubric to Grade Converter. Using reliable slide-chart technology, the 6+1 Trait® Rubric to Grade Converter has the flexibility to work with the model’s four-, five-, and six-point scales and can be used to grade writing on just one or up to all seven traits.

At the price of $10 each ($9.50 for member institutions), all teachers in the building can have their own 6+1 Trait® Rubric to Grade Converter. To order, see our online product catalog at www.nwrel.org/comm/catalog/ or call 1-800-547-6339, ext. 519.
