Summative Assessment and Scoring Guides:
Students complete constructed response items and complete two performance events (evaluating another student’s portfolio and writing a final letter
of comment on the other student’s job portfolio).
Teacher support: After completing the job portfolio scoring guide (both student and teacher), the teacher will compare student score to the teacher score in order to
determine the grade for this assessment. Discrepant, as mentioned on the bottom of the Job Portfolio Scoring Guide, is defined as scores that are more than one number
apart (i.e., student score two and teacher score zero). This type of discrepancy indicates a need for further review.
