Individualized HQT Access/Portfolio
Review Q & A
(updated 10/2011)
1. What is a portfolio
review?
Specific samples are
collected by the ES and sent to HQT for review and final grading of course.
This is good for students who are not a good fit for the Elluminate
classes.
2. Where is the information
located for the specific HQTs?
At
the link for CWCS HQT Courses for
the specific year and scroll down to the very bottom of the
page.
For 2011/2012
courses go to:
http://www.connectingwaters.org/hqt/2012/index.htm
3. What is required from ES?
The ES is
responsible for assessing daily assignments at the Learning Record meetings.
The ES is ultimately
responsible, not the parent, for getting the requested graded samples
to the HQT by the specific deadlines.
4. What is an acceptable
sample?
Graded quizzes,
tests, lab reports, chapter reviews are all good samples. Lists or just answers,
with no work shown or content supplied, are not acceptable.
5. What should the ES do if
your student has not completed any work in this course by the end of the
semester?
Ideally, the ES
should be in contact with the HQT and let them know that the student is making
very little progress in this subject and that they will be cancelling the CP. The
ES should then follow the ES Manual procedure from withdrawing their student
from the CP so that the IFs are re-deposited.
6. What happens when the ES
is late with the deadlines?
In order for the
HQT to review and get the grades finalized on time, they need the ESes to try
to follow their timeline of deadlines. Depending on the HQT, late work might be
accepted; however the student’s grade may be jeopardized. Remember emailing and
scanning are much faster than snail mail!
