Hello

I'm looking for model state legislative language to promote alternative assessment and portfolios.

I've heard that both Rhode Island, Massachusetts and New Hampshire have rules or procedures to allow portfolios to be used in assessing students.

Can a student get a high school diploma through portfolios?   What state laws might allow that?

I'm seeking legislation to propose to my state legislator.

Hi Steve,

Rhode Island has legislation that authorizes graduation by portfolio for all students.  Here’s a summary of their latest iteration.   http://www.ride.ri.gov/studentsfamilies/ripublicschools/diplomasystem.aspx#16441117-performance-assessments

Because of recent politics they have added test options but the portfolios remain.  We can dig up the original legislation if that would be helpful to you and could potentially work on some model legislation. 

In New Hampshire, graduation is a local decision, so I don’t believe there is state legislation, even though many districts are using performance assessments or portfolios.

Let’s stay in touch.

Regards, Linda
