If all 19 benchmarks are observed and recorded
correctly by the teacher, then no more no more than fivethan five
may be rated as Not Yet Demonstrating for the student’s overall rating to be at

For the Emerging/Progressing and Demonstrating ratings, the number and/or combination of indicators
observed will determine the appropriate rating.

Understanding the RatingsUnderstanding the RatingsWhen either indicator is requiredWhen either indicator is required
This type of indicator uses the word “OR” In these cases, the performance rating
reflects that the student can demonstrate at least one of multiple indicators.
27
Understanding the RatingsUnderstanding the RatingsWhen two indicators are requiredWhen two indicators are required
This type of indicator uses the word “AND” In these cases, the performance rating reflects
that the student must demonstrate MORE THAN ONE indicator to receive the rating.
This type of rating occurs on items 1, 10, and 15.
