Hi Jon, we have our own series of proficiency assessments and each has its own mastery level--but usually, if we can convert it to percentages, we use 80% for proficiency. We also have a WebQuest activity scored on a 5-pt rubric and we set 4 - 5 as proficiency.
We use the survey data just for planning--not for reporting. If I was going to report the survey as proficiency, I'd set proficiency levels for each set of questions, not each question individually. Does that make sense? I have trouble with using a self-reporting tool as a proficiency assessment, but I think it's acceptable to the state. C.

I see on the DE checklist that when we are using the technology survey we need to also state how the information regarding the district's assessment method should indicate how proficiency is determined (eg. cut point, percentage correct, etc.). Has anyone done this and how did you do it with a survey. Did you just set a number for each of the questions or what? Just wondering because the DE (our site visit today) was asking me these questions and I haven't thought of it. Thanks, Jon W.
