How to Collect Evidence for the NC ASW Portfolio
The North Carolina Analysis of Student Work portfolio is a beast. The process is not too complicated until the Very. End. Of the YEAR. You know, when ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING must be wrapped up. Lucky me, I couldn’t even have the system randomly select which students I’d have to submit proof of growth for until exams were well underway #EarlyCollegeProbs.
So there I was on my final workdays thinking, “I picked my objectives, NCEES picked my students. Now what?”
I started listing the assignments I’d assigned that matched each objective on a Google Doc thinking “How brilliant! I’m halfway done!”
Until I realized Student A didn’t turn in the assignment for Point 2. Student B turned it in, but in .amr format, which is not an accepted format and pretty much un-convertible. Student C’s partner from her video didn’t turn in the media release, and Student D actually kind of sounded worse in that particular assignment.
HINT: Keep shuffling students until you’ve actually reexamined what they turned in: watch, listen, and/or read carefully at least once.
So, yeah, that little stopwatch in the infograph I designed with my Collaborative homies for the ASW process? That should totally be about 5 different steps.
Just remember to sell, sell, sell the improvements and your strategies to achieve them on those narratives!
That being said, I actually am almost halfway done now, so I’d like to share how I set up my submissions in hopes that it makes life a little easier for my North Carolinian colleagues (who have an extra week to get this in that I don’t have since I’ll be in Peru #SisterCitiesProbs).
1. Create a folder in Google Drive for all things ASW
My ASW folder contains
- 1 blank copy of the ASW release form
- 1 spreadsheet of who had turned in their ASW release forms
- 1 ASW evidence outline Doc
-headings are objectives
-subheadings are student names
-and bullet points are assignment titles (and links) - 3 objective folders
Each objective folder contains
- 3 narrative Docs, 1 for each student (updated as I review each assignment again…and again)
- 1 supporting documentation Doc with assignments copied and pasted from Google Classroom (or screenshots for the ruleta paper assignment)
- 3 student folders, with PRE and POST files
- objective number
- student name
- PRE or POST

This information is very helpful. I am an NC Spanish teacher on a modified schedule. I am wondering if you use interactive notebooks and if so, how do you manage them with ASW? I have used them, but have always had students use them as study guides and keep them for homework and such. There are also examples of writing, foldables, etc. in them.

I do use interactive notebooks mostly as references for students, too. I haven't used them for ASW as yet, but I could see where they might be good “before” samples.

HI, i would like to know if there is any way to collect information from just one student after having used google forms and flubaroo for a pre and post test

You could copy that student's line of responses into a separate Doc if you collected their email automatically had them submit their name.
