Scoring Information:
Raters who successfully pass the ETS certification exam will be compensated at $20.36 per hour during scoring sessions. Training and certification are compensated at $11.05 per hour.
Raters will receive training and be required to successfully complete an ETS certification exam. Raters who successfully pass the ETS certification exam will be eligible to score. Certification can take several hours and will continue until the Rater scoring pool is full.
Rater positions are available based upon test taker volumes. Submitting an application does not automatically constitute your employment as a Rater. ETS reserves the right to withdraw an invitation prior to the scheduled reading session based upon business needs.
Training:
The Performance Assessment for School Leaders (PASL) assessment consists of three Tasks that require examinees to provide written commentaries responding to a series of guiding prompts that reflect the work instructional leaders actually perform within a school. Written commentaries are 9-11 pages in length. In addition, each Task requires the submission of artifacts that reinforce and enhance the written commentaries.
- Approved Rater applicants are trained to score two out of the three Tasks. Training is done via self-paced modules where applicants will get access to an interactive tutorial Web site that provides:
- Information on the PASL assessment
- Instruction in the PASL scoring process, including general principles of holistic scoring; specific criteria of the PASL Scoring Guides; guidelines for applying the scoring criteria to individual responses; and the use of topic-specific reference materials to practice in scoring actual PASL responses
- Internet scoring software instruction
- Internet scoring procedures and policies
- Training for the first Task will take about 13 hours to complete. This can be completed across a period of 10 days, in blocks of at least 4 hours at a time.
- At the conclusion of training for each Task there is a certification* test that perspective Raters must pass in order to score the PASL assessment. If you have passed certification for a particular Task, you are then eligible to score for that Task.
- Then training for the second Task will take about an additional 11 hours to complete. This can also be completed across a period of 10 days, in blocks of at least 4 hours at a time.
*There are separate certification expiration policies for each Task: A Rater must score at least once within a 1-year period to remain certified for a particular Task.
Work Schedule:
Raters are scheduled for four-, six- or eight-hour scoring sessions.
Scoring shifts are available 7-days per week during the Scoring Sessions. The available shift times are listed below:
- 8:30 am to 5:00 pm
- 8:30 am to 12:30 pm
- 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm
- 4:30 pm to 11:00 pm
- 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm
All shifts are based upon Eastern Standard Time.
Raters begin each scoring session by practice scoring at least one response, helping them "calibrate" their judgments against the rubrics for the appropriate Task. This process is designed to provide fair and accurate scoring.
Raters should plan to work and will be asked to submit their availability in 4, 6, or 8 hour shifts through the 20-day scoring period, for a total of 30 to 50 hours depending on test taker volume.
There are two large administrations each year for all Tasks: approximately March–mid May and October–mid December. There also are smaller administrations in January and June depending on test taker volume.
