1 ALTERNATE PERFORMANCE BASED ASSESSMENT The Rubric for End of Course Assessments 2010-2011

2 Alternate Performance Based Assessment-The Rubric  Students with disabilities must participate in the state End of Course (EOC) assessment. These students must receive appropriate support and accommodations with the goal of mastering course content and passing the EOC assessment. However, a student on an active IEP whose disability interferes with performance on the EOC assessment may demonstrate mastery of core knowledge and skills for that course through the approved alternative performance based assessment.  Results of the performance based assessment will not improve Adequate Yearly Progress calculations for the school, but will count toward graduation rate. Students with disabilities who successfully participate in this process will meet the course requirement leading to a regular high school diploma.

3 End of Course Assessments  In the new High School Transition Policy, the State Board stipulated that End-of-Course examinations will be given in English I, English II, English III, Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, U.S. History, Biology I, Chemistry and Physics. Further, the results of these examinations will be factored into the student’s grade at a percentage determined by the State Board of Education in accordance with T.C.A. §49-1-302 (2).  The end-of-course test grade will count 20% of the second semester grade for the 2009/2010 and the 2010/2011 school years and 25% of the second semester grade in subsequent school years.

4 End of Course Assessments  Any student enrolled in an End of Course class must be assessed via the End of Course Assessment pertinent to the class.  Current operational End of Course Assessments are:  Algebra I (AYP EOC)  Algebra II  English I  English II (AYP EOC)  English III *operational Fall 2011  Biology I (AYP EOC)  US History

5 APBA Procedure  1. Before the course begins, the special education teacher and the teacher of record* for any course requiring a state End of Course Assessment should familiarize themselves with the core knowledge and skills outlined on the state rubric. Discussion and planning should take place around the types of documentation needed as evidence for meeting the core knowledge and skills identified on the rubric (see Key that gives examples of Methods of Assessment) in the event that a student’s disability may cause him/her to fail the state EOC Assessment.  In some instances the Special Education teacher may be the teacher of record.

6 APBA Procedure  2. During the course, the rubric can be used for reference and the types of documentation being collected on a regular basis should be kept in mind. The special education teacher (if he/she is not the teacher of record) can and should assist in the process.

7 APBA Procedure  3. If the student fails the state EOC Assessment, the teacher of record (with the assistance of the special education teacher*) will complete the rubric and assign a score for each essential skill area listed based on evidence from the student’s performance during the course. Evidence should be available for review to document that the student has satisfactorily demonstrated proficiency or above of the essential skills for the course.

8 APBA Procedure  4. The Method of Assessment should be documented by coding from the rubric Key. The teacher will then assign a score based on the degree to which the student has demonstrated proficiency or above in each specific knowledge or skill area, based on a 0-2 scale. This percent score will be used for calculating the student’s course grade.

9 APBA Procedure  5. The rubric will be kept on file as documentation.
