Suggested Timeline for Collecting Evidence

• The Timeline has been broken down into 4 phases.
• Planning Phase
• Collection Phase
• Organizational Phase
• Submission Phase

39
Verification of Evidence This is a great tool
to make sure that you have included all entries
and evidence before you submit the portfolio to
your School Test Coordinator.
40
TWO TYPE OF EVIDENCE Geometry G.8.5.2 Identify
and draw congruent, adjacent, obtuse, acute,
right, and straight angles. This is an example
of incorporating 2 different types of evidence
within the 3 pieces of evidence needed for the
entry. First, pictures show the student creating
angles by cutting line segments, sliding one
paper plate into the other and moving the plates
to create different angles.
Series of Captioned Photographs

The second piece of evidence is a work sample.
The student identified different angles.

44
Appendix A Scoring Procedures

• All training materials consist of student
  entries that have been reviewed and scored by the
  Alternate Assessment Rangefinding Committee.
• There are 2 committees one for grades 3-8 and
  11 and one for grade 9 mathematics. The
  committees consist of approximately 15 educators
  from around the state of Arkansas. We meet each
  spring to review current portfolios and come to
  agreement on scores.

45
Appendix A Scoring Procedures

• We have designated readers to assign
  nonscoreable codes. Entries are flagged that
  appear to be nonscoreable. It is the
  responsibility of the designated readers to
  determine if the entry is nonscoreable.

Appendix A Scoring Rubric

• Domain Definitions
• Performance students demonstration of skill
  while attempting a given task.
• Context the degree to which the tasks are age
  appropriate and allow the student to use
  age-appropriate materials, provide a realistic
  challenge for the student, and reflect
  meaningful, real-world activities.
• Level of Assistance the degree of independence
  demonstrated in the students performance.
• Settings the observed settings or environments
  in which the tasks are performed.

Scoring Decisions
49
Score Point Distribution
50
Student Learning Expectation NO.1.4.3 Use
mathematical language and symbols to compare and
order any whole numbers with and without
appropriate technology. Describe the task in
detail Jeremy was given problems and had to
decide whether he was to add or subtract. This
would be scored as not to standard.
51
Avoid Nonscoreable Entries

• Include very specific information in the captions
  for photographs.
• Entries that consist of only data sheets,
  observations, and anecdotal records will be
  scored LE (Lacks Evidence).
• Make sure the entry slip is filled out completely
  and correctly.
• It is a great idea to have someone else review
  the entry slips.

52
Captioning Photographs

• When captioning photographs, make sure that it
  describes the activities in which the student is
  engaged, the location of the activity, and an
  evaluation of student performance. You can
  include materials used, the date, and support, if
  any, that was provided to the student.

53
Appendix A Sample Entries

• The purpose of including samples of scored
  entries is to provide teachers with examples of
  correctly completed forms, tasks that are clearly
  described, and responses that document student
  performance.

54
Appendix A Sample Entry

• Grade 3 Data Analysis and Probability
• Content Standard 14 Students shall formulate
  questions that can be addressed with data and
  collect, organize, and display relevant data to
  answer them.
• SLE DAP.14.3.1 Design a survey question after
  being given a topic and collect, organize,
  display and describe simple data using frequency
  tables or line plots, pictographs, and bar graphs.

81
Tips for Teachers
You must use the Arkansas Curriculum Framework
for Algebra I and Geometry for 2007-2008. Use
the material from 2007-2008 Manual only. Throw
away the manual from last year.
82
Portfolio Organization

• The portfolio consists of 1 entry for each
  Algebra I standard and 1 entry for each Geometry
  standard.
• Organize the portfolio using the illustration on
  page 11 in the Administration Manual for
  Ninth-Grade Mathematics.

83
Avoid Nonscoreable Entries

• Make sure the entry slip is filled out completely
  and correctly.
• It is a great idea to have someone else review
  the entry slips.
• Organize the portfolio using the illustration on
  page 11 in the Administration Manual

Strategies to Collect Evidence

• Student work samples are the appropriate type of
  evidence for the majority of the grade 9 students
  assessed (resource math students).
• The same types of entries that are appropriate
  for students in grades 3-8 and 11 may be
  appropriate for your grade 9 student. Think of
  the best way to show what your student knows.
• Include the students best work.
• Provide appropriate tasks that present a
  realistic challenge for the student.

86
Strategies to Collect Evidence

• Include 3 pieces of evidence for each entry.
• Do not include the same worksheet completed on
  different days.
• Use only 1 entry slip for the 3 tasks not a
  separate entry slip for each task in the entry.

87
Avoid Nonscoreable Entries

• Use the 2007-2008 forms in the black binders or
  the electronic forms online.
• Complete the entry slips correctly. See the
  example on the next page.

88
Sample Entry Slip
89
Avoid Nonscoreable Entries

• Use the Algebra I and Geometry frameworks that
  are in the 2007-2008 Administration Manual.
• Write the entire number and description and make
  sure they match-use electronic form.
• Content Standard 1 Students will develop the
  language of geometry including specialized
  vocabulary, reasoning, and application of
  theorems, properties, and postulates.
• LG.1.G.2 Represent points, lines, and planes
  pictorially with proper identification, as well
  as basic concepts derived from these undefined
  terms, such as segments, rays, and angles

90
Avoid Nonscoreable Entries

• Be sure to include 1 entry for each Algebra I
  Content Standard and 1 entry for each Geometry
  Content Standard 10 entries total.
• Use an SLE only one time.
• Make sure that the tasks support the selected
  SLE.
• Make sure that the evidence you include in the
  entry shows what you have stated in the task.

91
Appendix A Scoring Student Portfolios

• The sample student entries with scoring
  explanations has, in the past, been distributed
  to teachers in a document called the Teacher
  Handbook. This information is incorporated into
  the Administration Manual Appendix A so that
  all information could be found in one resource.

92
Appendix A Scoring Rubric

• Domain Definitions
• -Performance students demonstration of skill
  while attempting a given task.
• -Context the degree to which the tasks are age
  appropriate and allow the student to use
  age-appropriate materials, provide a realistic
  challenge for the student, and reflect
  meaningful, real-world activities.
• -Level of Assistance the degree of independence
  demonstrated in the students performance.

93
Appendix A Sample Entry

• Algebra I Solving Equations and Inequalities
• Content Standard 2 Students will write, with
  and without appropriate technology, equivalent
  forms of equations, inequalities, and systems of
  equations and solve with fluency.
• SLE SEI.2.AI.5 Solve real world problems that
  involve a combination of rates, proportion and
  percents

94
Task The student was asked to express ratios as
fractions in simplest form. He was asked to solve
real-world problems using proportions and to give
answers in simplest form. He was asked to use a
table to solve proportion problems for unknown
variables. He was allowed to use a calculator.
