Listen and Calculate Rater Reliability • • Log in to the WIDA Secure Portal and listen to sample student responses at https: //portal. wida. us/ACCESSTraining/Paper/speakingpractice. aspx. Indicate the proficiency level task (P 1, P 3, P 5) in the Task column. Write your scores in the Rater 1 scores column. After scoring, write down DRC’s scores in the Rater 2 scores column. Complete Steps 1 and 2 until twelve student responses have been scored. Calculate the difference for each task and add the totals. Write the total in the Sum row. To calculate the Adjacent %, take the sum of the differences and divide it by 0. 12. Then, subtract the Adjacent % from 100 and this will equal the Reliability %. © 2018 Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System
