More FAQs
Will we be required to develop a portfolio for honors level courses that are in field test status? Yes How much extra work is required to earn honors credit? Instruction should be differentiated at a higher level and not assign extra work. The focus should be on extension, acceleration, and enrichment. CTE recommends an extension of 25% of the course content.
Should standards be rewritten or should new standards be added? Teachers may extend an existing standard or add a new one. Either is fine.
More FAQs
May we work together?
Portions of the portfolios can be common and it is the expectation that the LEA will provide PLC or PD opportunities for teachers to work collaboratively. However, individual teacher portfolios should reflect the course implementation in his/her classroom. Example: Student work samples should be collected by individual teachers for their portfolio.
More FAQs
Do students needs to score a higher grade on Elements post-assessment to earn honors credit? No (And they take the same post-assessment as regular credit)
What if I already have an honors portfolio I created using the old implementation guide? A new portfolio following the new rubric and revised implementation guide must be developed.
More FAQs
If a new course is released at Summer Conference, how can I get an honors portfolio prepared before school starts? If your LEA permits, you may develop the portfolio while implementing a new or revised course. Remember to stay in close communication with your CTE Director.
