instruction at Level III ( ASOL fully
demonstrated).
•
Select an ASOL and determine the
level best suited to the student’s
strengths and weaknesses based on
data.
•
Collect evidence throughout the
school year.
•
Provide instruction based on the level
selected for the ASOL.
•
Review the evidence prior to
submission and adjust the level on
the Student Evidence Identification
(SEI) Tag based on the
performance of the student. Level
may be Level III or a lower level.
•
Collect evidence throughout the
school year.
•
Review the evidence prior to
submission and adjust the level on
