Category - Assessment

The state of Rhode Island utilizes a common assessment that determines if a student is prepared to progress to the next grade. The assessment is high stakes and occurs each year in March. One of the school districts in Rhode Island feels that their students start to under-perform following the March assessment. Which of the following would be an appropriate additional type of assessment to use to determine if a student is ready to progress to the next grade?
  1. Observation
  2. Portfolio
  3. Performance
  4. Conferencing
Explanation
Answer: B - Portfolio. A portfolio will display the work of a student over a given time period - most frequently from the beginning to the end of the year. A student will add work from one or more courses into the portfolio as examples of their work and progress. The assessment of the portfolio can help indicate whether a student has accomplished the work required of their grade.
