WAC Judge Training Resources

Judging/Grading Rubrics:

This new Formal Presentation rubric has been designed to communicate presentation expectations to students, teachers and judges in a comprehensive way.  We hope you like the changes we've made, meant to put more emphasis on creativity and solution building.  We encourage teachers and judges to provide feedback after the WAC 2011.

Judge Training Videos - for those of you who cannot attend one of our 'in-person' training dates, or if you just want to brush up on a specific topic, please check out the videos from our first judge training this year.

Please also check out the video links to the left to see actual Formal Presentations and Collaborative Questions from years past.

Any questions you have regarding any aspect of judging can be sent to Andrew at [email protected].  Especially relevant questions will likely be posted on this page in the future.


These videos refer to both the Teacher Planning Guide and the Collaborative Question documents that were sent to you after you registered to be a judge.  We cannot post the CQ document on the website due to it's confidential nature before the event.  If you need another copy, please request one from Andrew at [email protected].
