What and Why...
Twice per school year, (once per semester) Visions collects work samples from students. These samples are intended to show to our auditors that our enrolled students are actually enrolled, and that they are engaging in the academic activities on their master agreement. They are also used to demonstrate that there is a responsible adult who is reviewing and or grading their work.
When..
I will be collecting Semester 1 samples at our LP2 meeting.
How...
You may submit samples from your own curriculum, use the provided samples (K-8), or any combination of the two. Samples can be work from either from LP1 or LP2. (9th - 12th grade courses are so variable that it is impossible to create packets)
Please provide one written sample from each subject.
Instructions for using provided samples (K-8th grades):
- Download and print the work sample packet or individual pages you intend to use
- Have your student complete the worksheet(s)
- Grade and or comment on each sample in a different color than the student worked
- Please do not put dates or LP#s on worksheets
- When possible, please leave upper right corner blank for the school's generated label
- Check to see that the standard code on the sample matches your semester plan for either LP1 or LP2 (I already set these to match the packets, so unless you changed them, you should be good to go)
- Submit to CT at next meeting
If you would rather submit samples from your own curriculum (all 9-12 th grades):
- Samples cannot be from a religious publisher (handouts, worksheets with publisher’s name on them). Handwritten work on blank or lined paper that is from religious curriculum, but is not addressing religious themes, is fine.
- Samples must match the state standards as listed on your semester plan for either LP1 or LP2
- Samples cannot be a test or multiple choice, they must show student work (Samples where student just matches, underlines, or circles items is not sufficient, there must be some written work on the page)
- Grade and or comment on each sample in a different color than the student worked
- Please do not put dates or LP#s on worksheets
- When possible, please leave upper right corner blank for label
- Submit to CT at next meeting
