Fine Arts Portfolio Overview
Contains four evidence collections
Each evidence collection contains evidence from two points in time within the year
Choose a purposeful sampling of students to represent your class
o Demonstrate evidence of the teachers impact on the learning of children from
varying populations. At least 2 of 4 collections must contain evidence of growth for
three levels of learners (i.e., emerging, proficient, and advanced). This is considered a
Differentiated Students sample (formerly type 2)
The four collections must represent three of the four domains (i.e., Perform, Create,
Respond, and Connect). Each collection can only be scored for one of the domains.
Scoring Guide Framework

The scoring guide framework has four domains: Perform, Create, Respond, and Connect. The
table below outlines the organization of the subject area standards. Please see the complete scoring
guide for more information. It should be noted that the indicators in the scoring guide are meant to
serve as a guide, rather than a formula, for rating evidence. It is not necessary or expected that each
evidence collection meet all indicators within each performance level. Always consult the scoring
guide for clarity on which domain lessons are targeting to avoid submitting evidence that is self-
scored in the incorrect domains.

What is a Fine Arts Differentiated Sample?

A fine arts differentiated sample collection, formerly known as a Type II evidence collection,
demonstrates growth for multiple learning levels (i.e., emerging, proficient, and advanced). To
achieve this, at least two collections must identify students of three various learning levels and
document how they have grown in the same skills/performance tasks. Some teachers, especially
visual art teachers, find this to be the simplest way to document all collections.
Point A Assessment Point B Assessment
Evidence 1: Emerging (student A) Evidence 1: Emerging (student A)
Evidence 2: Proficient (student B) Evidence 2: Proficient (student B)
Evidence 3: Advanced (student C) Evidence 3: Advanced (student C)
2
What is a Fine Arts Group Sample?
A fine arts group sample collection, formerly known as a Type I evidence collection, represents
growth from ensembles or groups of students without specific regard to individual learning levels.
When considering purposeful sampling, it is important to show how ALL students have grown, not
just the high or low achievers.
How to use the scoring guide when collecting evidence

The scoring guide contains indicators designed to reflect the grade/course level expectations from
Tennessee state standards. These are meant to serve as a guide to rating student work. Because the
domains (i.e., Perform, Create, Respond, and Connect) contain checks for understanding and
student performance indicators from a combination of state standards, this guide should not be
understood as a checklist of indicators but should be used to look for the performance level that
best fits the evidence provided. In the scoring guides, course level expectations (CLEs) and checks for
understanding are reflected in each row of individual tasks. Student performance indicators (SPIs)
are reflected in the expectations column levels 15.
Putting it all together

The following chart shows an example of how purposeful sampling can be approached with specific
examples for an elementary music teacher who teaches K5.

Note on Music Theory, Music History, Media Arts

Music theory, music history, and media arts do not currently have scoring guides for the fine arts
growth assessment. The Tennessee State Standards for those content areas/grade levels will serve
as scoring guides for rating student growth evidence. The grade-level expectations are used as
indicators along the student achievement continuum, and the growth between pre- and post-
evidence will guide the scoring process. The framework used for scoring these areas uses the same
processes as the tables in each content specific scoring guide.
If your content area is not listed above, or the scoring guides do not contain indicators aligned your
specific course or grade level, please contact TEAM.Questions@tn.gov for further assistance.
