A "Body of Evidence" is a collection of student work that is unique to each student and demonstrates their mastery of a competency in a competency-based system.
Our body of evidence at Churchill Park comes from a variety of data sources as referenced in the info graphic.
However, anecdotal records, pictures, and videos of students engaged in various performance assessments throughout the year are also pieces worthy of inclusion in a body of evidence.
Below is a sample of "Guidelines for Sufficiency" to consider when determining what needs to be included in a body of evidence.
Below the guidelines is a sample of a body of evidence design that describes a body of evidence for an individual competency as it would be measured for a high school or post-high student in the New Horizons Transition Program.
The New Horizons year long assessment map is included below. It is a map outlining all of the lessons and performance assessments connected to the Profile of a Crusader and Backpack of Success Skills Competencies. Let's dive in.
Our digital backpacks and standards-based grading are paving the way! The old traditional grading practices were not equitable to the students at CHP. But there is hope in a better grading system if the correct competencies are chosen for our population. Our digital backpacks highlight our students strengths and if we are able to grade students based on a competency set that is appropriate, then those grades would also be empowering.
