The GO-TO Guide for Grading Samples

“From Samples to Scores: The Go-To Guide for Grading Samples”

Starting out as a school-based OTP can feel overwhelming—especially when it comes to grading student work samples. Most of us never get a formal orientation, and figuring out how to measure progress for cutting, handwriting, or fine motor skills often feels like trial and error.

That’s exactly why I created this digital eBook: to give you the first steps that most therapists never receive.

Inside, you’ll find:

• 5 focused chapters on grading cutting, coloring, prewriting strokes, handwriting, and fine motor samples
• A Grading Systems page with multiple approaches (color-coded, shapes, quick methods) so you can find what works for YOU
• Real examples, strategies, and visuals to make grading simple and consistent
• An introductory guide to take away the guesswork and an ending page to help you build confidence as you go

This eBook is perfect for:

• New school-based OTs who feel like they’re figuring it all out alone
• Experienced therapists looking for faster, more efficient grading systems
• Anyone wanting simple, consistent methods for documenting progress

What You’ll Gain:

• Clarity on how to grade samples quickly and effectively
• Confidence in using systems that fit your personal style
• The foundation to track student growth without spending hours grading

Because grading shouldn’t be a guessing game—it should be a tool that empowers both you and your students.
