RESA assessors receive extensive training on the RESA Lesson Reflection. Their training covers recognizing and minimizing bias, in addition to each of the seven evaluation domains in the Lesson Reflection. Once assessors pass the certification test, they are assigned submissions to score.
Assessors are prohibited from scoring submissions of candidates they might know, and they are asked to defer submissions of candidates whom they recognize.
For quality assurance purposes, a scoring administrator conducts reviews of the assessors’ scoring. Assessors who do not meet a minimum accuracy standard are not permitted to score.
