Researching Learning Challenges

​​Please become familiar with the Guidelines and Rubric found in the DropBox judges' folder.
You will be pre-judging
  • position paper
  • content of slide deck

NOTE:  Papers will be scanned for plagiarism.  Should papers be found to have material that has not been cited or has not been cited correctly, the competitors will be permitted to attend the State Leadership Conference and Competition; however, they will not be permitted to place.  Academic integrity is non-negotiable.  If a notation concerning plagiarism is made on the rubric, please do not "fix" the score.

The first step is to read the position paper.

Position Paper #1                                                  Position Paper #2                          

... and then the slide deck

Position Paper Slide Deck #1                             Position Paper Slide Deck #2


Return to the scoring rubric.  How would you score the exemplar… and why?

To help you calibrate, please open the sample rubric that has been included.  A compilation of judges’ scores and comments have been transcribed.  It is important to keep in mind that you may differ in points awarded; however, you must be consistent among all competitors.  The Guidelines will help in assigning scores. 

Position Paper/Slide Deck Rubric #1                       Position Per/Slid Deck Rubric #2        

  • If you have any concerns, please reach out to heather.jones@doe.virginia.gov.

Competitors will receive their rubrics so that they may reflect on their performance and improve.  Some of these students will be competing at Nationals where they will be up against more than 20 students from across the United States.  It is vital that your scores are representative of the quality of work submitted.  Please be sure to give feedback; however, frame in a constructive manner.

The day of the event, you will receive your rubrics.  If any scores differ significantly among the judges, they will need to be discussed.
