Overview
Work samples will more effectively support student learning when
they are integrated systematically into the district curriculum and are also
part of classroom instruction (that is, the normal, ongoing evaluation and
grading process). For example, when they are used to help summarize a unit of
study or extending the concepts presented, work samples can be a natural part
of classroom practices and be offered many times during the school year.
The following resource may be provided to students as they complete mathematics Work Samples for Essential Skills proficiency demonstration. Additional guidance about graphic organizer use is included in the Accessibility Support table in the Essential Skills and Local Performance Assessment Manual
Scored Student Work Samples - High School
Purpose
To help students, teachers, administrators, and parents learn what the expectations are for writers at the High School level, the site makes available sample or "anchor" papers that show varying levels of performance in each of the tested modes.
These papers may be used for teacher training, informational documents, scoring practice with students, other audiences, or for other uses.
Directions: To view examples of student papers, click on the "Student Sample" link. To look at the scores and read the commentary, click on the "Scores/Commentary" link below the Student Sample being viewed.
These work sample tasks have been scored with the Mathematics Problem Solving Scoring Guide.
