Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. Grade 11 Science Achievement Level
				  Descriptors
Basic
A student at this level has demonstrated only the
								fundamental knowledge and skills needed for the next level of schooling.
Students scoring at this level generally exhibit
								the ability to:
1. formulate valid hypotheses;
2. design a simple experiment;
3. draw appropriate conclusions;
4. develop inferences from experimentation and
								apply that information to new situations;
5. distinguish scientific principles from
								pseudoscience; and
6. apply scientific principles to their everyday
								life.
With inquiry as the core, students at the Basic
								level begin to identify unifying concepts and processes among the science
								disciplines-physical, life, earth/space, and the environmental sciences.
Approaching Basic
A student at this level has only partially
								demonstrated the fundamental knowledge and skills needed for the next level of
								schooling.
Students scoring at this level generally exhibit
								the ability to:
1. know and understand fundamental science facts
								and concepts concerning the world; and
2. make observations, form a reasonable
								hypothesis, identify variables, interpret data, and draw conclusions.
These skills should be demonstrated through the
								science disciplines-physical, life, earth/space, and the environmental
								sciences.
Foundational
A student at this level has not demonstrated the
								fundamental knowledge and skills needed for the next level of schooling but has
								demonstrated the foundational knowledge and skills that can be built upon to
								access the grade-level curriculum.
Students scoring at this level generally exhibit
								the ability to:
1. demonstrate limited knowledge and understanding
								of fundamental science facts and concepts concerning the world; and
2. make simple observations, attempt to form a
								hypothesis, identify a limited number and type of variables, minimally
								interpret data, and draw conclusions that may be inappropriate or inaccurate.
These skills should be demonstrated through the
								science disciplines-physical, life, earth/space, and the environmental
								sciences.
Pre-Foundational
A student at this level has not demonstrated the
								fundamental knowledge and skills needed for the next level of schooling.
								However, the student may be developing the foundational knowledge and skills
								that can be built upon to access the grade-level curriculum.
Students scoring at this level need to develop the
								ability to:
1. demonstrate knowledge and understanding of
								fundamental science facts and concepts concerning the world with minimal
								accuracy or consistency; and
2. make simple observations, attempt to form a
								hypothesis, identify a limited number and type of variables, minimally
								interpret data, and draw conclusions.
These skills should be demonstrated through the
								science disciplines-physical, life, earth/space, and the environmental
								sciences.
B.
				  Grade 11 Social Studies Achievement Level Descriptors
Basic
A student at this level has demonstrated only the
								fundamental knowledge and skills needed for the next level of schooling.
Students scoring at this level generally exhibit
								the ability to do the following:
1. Geography: interpret geographical data,
								describe the basic physical structure of the planet, and explain the spatial
								relationships between humans and their environment.
2. Civics: explain structure and purposes of
								government, describe the foundations of the American political system, explain
								international relationships, and describe the roles of citizen.
3. Economics: describe fundamental economic
								concepts, explain decisions made by consumers, businesses, and government; and
								explain U.S. fiscal policy.
4. History: describe continuity and change,
								describe the significance of people, places, events, ideas, and documents, and
								examine relevant experiences from the past to describe contemporary issues.
Approaching Basic
A student at this level has only partially
								demonstrated the fundamental knowledge and skills needed for the next level of
								schooling.
Students scoring at this level generally exhibit
								the ability to do the following:
1. Geography: identify geographical data,
								recognize the physical structure of the planet, and state the spatial
								relationships between humans and their environment.
2. Civics: identify the structure and purposes of
								government, recognize the foundations of the American political system,
								identify international relationships, and identify the roles of citizen.
3. Economics: identify fundamental economic
								concepts, identify decisions made by consumers, businesses, and government; and
								identify U.S. fiscal and monetary policies.
4. History: recognize continuity and change,
								recognize the significance of people, places, events, ideas, and documents, and
								identify relevant experiences from the past to describe contemporary issues.
Foundational
A student at this level has not demonstrated the
								fundamental knowledge and skills needed for the next level of schooling but has
								demonstrated the foundational knowledge and skills that can be built upon to
								access the grade-level curriculum.
Students scoring at this level generally exhibit
								the ability to do the following:
1. Geography: identify limited geographical data,
								recognize a limited number of physical structures of the planet, and state a
								limited number of spatial relationships between humans and their environment.
2. Civics: demonstrate limited knowledge about the
								structure and purposes of government, demonstrate a limited understanding or
								recognition of the foundations of the American political system, identify a few
								international relationships, and identify the role of citizens with only some
								consistency.
3. Economics: demonstrate limited knowledge or
								understanding of fundamental economic concepts, identify a limited number and
								type of decisions made by consumers, businesses, and government; and show
								minimal understanding of U.S. fiscal and monetary policies.
4. History: demonstrate limited recognition of
								continuity and change, recognize the significance of a limited number of
								people, places, events, ideas and documents, and identify a limited number of
								relevant experiences from the past to describe contemporary issues.
