Why create a website for raters?

• Provide updates for material already contained in
  the ADFELPS Handbook
• Provide on-line training activities for raters as
  they prepare for annual re-accreditation
• Provide access to content of ARTC in a condensed
  format
• Provide a forum for communication between the
  ADFELPS test developer and raters

Access to site

• Access is restricted to accredited raters only
• Every rater will be issued with a username and
  password by e-mail in May 08
• Your initial password is generic and must be
  changed within 30 days of issue
• If you are no longer accredited, you will have no
  access to the site

Information Search Task 1

• Suppose you are asked to give a group of students
  an ADFELPS reading test, and you are unsure about
  whether or not they should be given 5 minutes to
  look through the test before they begin to answer
  the questions.
• Find out using the website

Information Search Task 2

• Suppose you are marking a reading test and a
  student has written some incorrect information
  that the answer key says is optional
• E.g. Students Response 8 oclock in the evening
• Answer Key 8 oclock (in the morning)
• Refer to the website to decide what you should do

  coherence and cohesion.
