PortfolioPortfolio is an alternative assessment that can be used for promotion to 4th grade if a student does not pass the FSA
![Page 11: 3rd Grade FSA Parent Night - Third Grade - Teachers](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012508/61842ab950aa664bd75af322/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How does Portfolio work?
• The portfolio assesses the ELA standards through science and social studies content. The ELA skills are taught during our ELA block, and incorporated in our science and social studies instruction.
• Between now and May, the 3rd grade students will complete four social studies units, and four science units. At the end of each unit there will be a summative project. These projects are how we measure the students’ mastery of the ELA standards.
• There are 2 nonfiction science cycles, 2 nonfiction social studies cycles, 2 literature science cycles, and 2 literature social studies cycles.
![Page 12: 3rd Grade FSA Parent Night - Third Grade - Teachers](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012508/61842ab950aa664bd75af322/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
How is my student assessed during portfolio?
• During each cycle, the students will be given two chances to show mastery of the ELA standards. The first will be a multiple choice assessment. The second will be the summative project.
• The students need to show a 75% mastery for each of the standards over all four nonfiction and four literature cycles on either the multiple choice assessment or the summative project.
![Page 13: 3rd Grade FSA Parent Night - Third Grade - Teachers](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012508/61842ab950aa664bd75af322/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What does this look like for my child?
• Each Cycle takes about 10-12 days to complete. We spend the first four to five days instructing on the science or social studies concept. During this instruction, we reinforce the ELA skills. The skills we reinforce will depend on whether the cycle is an informational text cycle, or a literature cycle. The next six to seven days will be spent completing the multiple choice assessment and the summative project.
