STEP 1: PURPOSE STATEMENT [EXAMPLES]

Art Grade 5

The Self-Portrait extended performance task for Art Grade 5 students is designed to evaluate

student growth toward proficiency of grade-level expectations in the ability to communicate a

mood or point of view through a work of art. This project-based performance task will be

administered twice, once at the beginning of the quarter and once at the end of the quarter. Scores

will be used to monitor student growth in the creation of visual arts.

Pre-Algebra EoC

The Pre-Algebra End-of-Course (EoC) assessment is intended to measure student proficiency of

grade-level expectations in the sequence of the district’s algebra curriculum. This grade-level

summative assessment is provided as a post-test to determine student mastery of the content

standards. Scores represent degrees of content knowledge and are used as part of pupil

progression for 8th

grade students.

Nutrition and Culinary, Level III

The purpose of this competency assessment is to determine a student’s skill proficiency at the

conclusion of Nutrition and Culinary, Level III. This assessment measures the skills necessary

for successful entry into the culinary industry. It will be used to determine successful course
