 * Analysis of Student Work**

Content Areas: Art, Healthful Living, World Language, AP and IB, Occupational Preparation, World History, 7th Grade Social Studies


 * Implementation:** 2014-2015
 * Who submits:** If you meet with your class 90+ minutes per week, then the teacher will submit into the platform. If a teacher does not see their class for at least 90 minutes a week, then the LEA will determine if the teacher will be evaluated with the ASW.


 * Five artifacts must be submitted.**
 * Time lapse artifacts:** two points in time, must show student growth

State will determine classes from which artifact must come but the teacher will determine the clarifying objective and whether or not it will be whole class or student sample.

Artifacts will be submitted to an online platform provided by DPI. The artifacts will then be sent to a reviewer for scoring. Scores will be either **exceeds expected growth, meets expected growth, or does not meet expected growth.** The reviewer will not be someone within the district of the submitter. Hopefully they will be from a different part of the state. Reviewers are needed as of now - no stipend for reviewers. Reviewers will be a person with experience in the content area.

Wiki site: @http://ncasw.ncdpi.wikispaces.net Modules are available for anyone to view, but //**do not**// complete the surveys. They are for pilot participants only.
