Proficiency Scale for Grade 7 Reading Pro
Score
Description
Sample Activity
4.0
In addition to Score 3.0, the student demonstrates in-depth inferences and applications regarding more complex material that go beyond end of instruction expectations.
-
3.5
In addition to Score 3.0 performance, the student demonstrates in-depth inferences and applications regarding the more complex content with partial success.
3.0
“The Standard.” The student demonstrates no major errors or omissions regarding any of the information and processes that were end of instruction expectations.
The student can:
justify an inference with specific lines, dialogue, or events from text.
analyze text explicitly by determining the meaning and purpose of the text.
-
2.5
The student demonstrates no major errors or omissions regarding the simpler details and processes (Score 2.0 content) and partial knowledge of the more complex ideas and processes (Score 3.0 content).
2.0
There are no major errors or omissions regarding the simpler details and processes as the student:
makes an inference but cannot thoroughly support with specific text.
attempts to analyze what the text says explicitly by determining the meaning and purpose of the text.
defines academic vocabulary.
However, the student exhibits major errors or omissions regarding the more complex ideas and processes.
-
1.5
The student demonstrates partial knowledge of the simpler details and processes (Score 2.0 content) but exhibits major errors or omissions regarding the more complex ideas and procedures (Score 3.0 content).
1.0
With help, the student demonstrates a partial understanding of some of the simpler details and processes (Score 2.0 content) and some of the more complex ideas and processes (Score 3.0 content).
-
0.5
With help, the student demonstrates a partial understanding of some of the simpler details and processes (Score 2.0 content) but not the more complex ideas and processes (Score 3.0 content).
