Student Provided Academic Portfolio Evaluation

Advanced Proficient:

The advanced proficient performing student submits portfolio evidence that demonstrates a strong knowledge, skill, and understanding of the Achievement Standards at grade level. The submitted portfolio illustrates independent thinking in a variety of ways including technical writing, problem solving, and using multiple methods of communicating. The portfolio illustrates an in-depth understanding of main ideas and the use of supporting details and related concepts. An advanced proficient scored portfolio shows evidence of analysis of information, internalization of information, integration of information, comprehensive summaries, accurate predictions, and a comprehensive use of given information to communicate or solve a problem. The portfolio contains evidence of advanced technology use and of identifying and using unique details related to topic/subject/concept and purpose. There is evidence of an ability to order, list, sort, and compare and contrast information. There may be evidence, in a meaningful way, of a challenge to the norm. The portfolio illustrates student's advanced grade level writing mechanics skill, computational skill, problem solving skill, and content comprehension.

Proficient Score

The proficient performing student submits portfolio evidence that demonstrates knowledge, skills, and understanding of the Achievement Standards at grade level. The submitted portfolio illustrates student understanding of a standard's main ideas and the use of supporting details.

There is evidence of meaningfully comparing, logically predicting, and purposefully summarizing information.

The proficient portfolio contains information describing an issue, problem, or situation and exhibits some understanding of how to deal with the information at hand. There is evidence of ability to order, list, and sort information and make comparisons. The portfolio illustrates student's proficient grade level writing mechanics skill, computational skill, problem solving skill, and content comprehension. (This is the eligibility target level.) Basic Score (2): The basic performing student submits portfolio evidence that demonstrates some knowledge, skill, and understanding of the Achievement Standards at grade level. The submitted portfolio illustrates some student understanding of identified main ideas and some supporting details.

The basic scored portfolio shows evidence of simplistic comparisons, predictions, and summaries but illustrates some skill and knowledge of the standards. There is evidence of the use of written directions, maps, charts, diagrams, graphs, and tables. There is some evidence of locating information in print, electronically, and from on-line sources. There is some detailed discussion of the topic/subject/concept.

The work shows a need for clarification of issues, problems, or situations. There is need for more work to effectively order, sort, and list information. The portfolio illustrates student's basic grade level writing mechanics skill, computational skill, problem solving skill, and content comprehension.
