Sevier District is piloting a new way to deliver assessment. The district data disaggregate system (DDS) has a simple user-friendly format for teachers and administrators to view Utah's end-of-level assessments. The DDS system also disaggregates Northwest Education Association (NWEA) Measure of Academic Progress (MAP) data. Teachers rapidly obtain a diagnostic profile of all students in their classroom.

Description:
This PowerPoint provides an overview of the South Carolina ePortfolio System that measures the technology proficiency of all K-12 certified staff (N071 - Personnel Skilled in Technology File Specifications) and students in grades K-8 (N117 - 8th Grade Technology Literacy File Specifications) using technology assessments aligned to the latest ISTE/NETS Standards. There is also a Local Inventory Survey (N028 - Computer File Specifications) for collecting infrastructure inventory data using a portal.
Guided by the Certified Staff Technology Proficiency Proviso (1.25) and the Certified Staff and Student ePortfolio System, the technology expertise of our educators has improved dramatically providing the students in South Carolina with increased exposure to interactive learning, higher-order thinking skills, collaboration, and enhanced communication skills.

Description:
The South Carolina ePortfolio system addresses the technology needs of students by establishing a system that measures technology proficiency of students with online assessments; prescribes resources for students, and demonstrates technology skills through the creation of electronic portfolios aligned with the 2007 NETS Standards. To determine technology levels, each student completes pre and post assessment(s). These assessments help educators determine students’ knowledge of various technology software tools (i.e., word processing, spreadsheets, Internet, etc.) To ensure that all students stay current with technology, the Office of eLearning provides students with technology resources based on skills. To demonstrate technology proficiency, all students are required to complete an electronic portfolio. The technology portfolio will contain presentations, spreadsheet activities, and research projects/newsletters/or web pages demonstrating technology competency. In order to meet the NCLB requirements, associates in the Office of eLearning collaborated with teachers, media specialists, instructional coaches, and administrators in creating the Student ePortfolio System.
