Assessment Updates

Thank you to all students who completed either the iReady or MAP assessments in LP1!

AMAZING JOB!

The results have been so fun to see. Overall, students are doing really well. And now we have some real information about what to focus on this year for student growth and success. It has been a good thing.

Don't forget to email me when your student completes the assessments, so I can email you the reports.

If you have NOT completed your assessments yet, please try to do them this week. They NEED to be done by the end of LP2, but the earlier, the better!

Fall Semester Work Samples Due Soon!

 

What and Why...
Twice per school year, (once each semester) Visions collects official work samples from students. These samples are intended to show our auditors that our enrolled students are actually enrolled, and that they are engaging in the academic activities on their master agreement and semester plan. They are also used to demonstrate that there is a responsible adult who is reviewing and/or grading their work.

When..
Due on or before your LP2 meeting. 

How...
Samples must be work completed in LP1. You may submit samples from your own curriculum, use the provided samples (grades K-8), or any combination of the two. (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.
• Please leave upper right corner blank for the school's generated label.
• Match the standard code on your semester plan drop-downs for LP1 to the one on the sample. (Change the code if you need to, or we can do it together at the meeting.)
• Either scan and email the samples to me or take a clear, square picture of the entire sample with your phone and text it to me. I will confirm that I received them and let you know if I need anything else. If you choose to do a work sample via Google Docs, just share the document with me allowing me to edit it.

If you would rather submit samples from your own curriculum (and all 9-12th graders):

• Samples cannot be from a religious publisher (handouts, worksheets with publisher’s name on them). 
• Match the standard drop-downs on your semester plan for LP1 to the samples. You can make your best guess here, and I will help you when I collect the samples.
• Samples cannot be a test or multiple choice, they must show student work. (Samples where student just matches, underlines, or circles items are 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.
• Either scan and email the samples to me or take a clear, square picture of the entire sample with your phone and text it to me. I will confirm that I received them and let you know if I need anything else. If you choose to do a work sample via Google Docs, just share the document with me allowing me to edit it.
