District Portfolio Appeals Required Documentation
Districts are expected to store their students’ completed portfolio appeals materials onsite in accordance with local document retention policies. On-site review of these documents may occur at the discretion of the NJDOE. Below is a list of the materials that must be maintained in district for each student:District Portfolio Appeals Required Documentation
- A completed Education Proficiency Plan (EPP) that includes the most current student transcript, documentation of performance on Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC)/New Jersey Student Learning Assessment (NJSLA) and/or substitute competency assessments, and an intervention plan implemented to ensure the student met the graduation assessment requirement.
- CRTs in the content areas (ELA and/or mathematics) in which the student has not met the graduation assessment requirement.
- The required quantity of a student’s graded responses to CRTs in each content area.
- A content-specific cover sheet found in the Informational Guide for ELA and/or mathematics.
- Can these materials be located quickly if they are requested for review?
- Is there an established system for storing these materials that all necessary staff are aware of?
- If there are changes in staffing, will these materials still be accessible to the next person in charge of this process?
ELA CRTs
A student must complete one informational text task and one literary text task from the following approved CRTs.ELA CRTs
In total students will need to complete and pass:
- 1x CRT for informational text
- 1x CRT for literary text
- 1x writing response for information text
- 1x writing response for literary text
- Task 1: Informational Text: Mother Tongue by Amy Tan
- Task 2: Literary Text: Gatsby by Fitzgerald
- Task 3: Informational Text: Phone Patrol
- Task 4: Literary Text: Fish Cheeks
Math CRTs
The high school mathematics content areas include:Math CRTs
- Number and Quantity (N)
- Functions (F)
- Algebra (A)
- Geometry (G)
- Statistics and Probability (S)
The two mathematical practices that must be evidenced in portfolio appeals are:
- Expressing mathematical reasoning
- Modeling
In math, a total of 4x CRTs will need to submitted:
- 2x CRTs on modeling
- 2x CRTs on reasoning
- The 4x math CRTs need to represent different content areas. (For example, they can't be 2x algebra CRTs and 2x geometry)
- Math CRT 1: Modeling - Algebra
- Math CRT 2: Reasoning - Number and Quantity
- Math CRT 3: Reasoning - Functions
- Math CRT 4: Modeling - Geometry
