Appendix A: Academic Profile Proficiency Levels
Writing-Level 1. Students at Level 1 recognize agreement among basic elements (nouns, verbs, pronouns) in the same clause or phrase. These students avoid gross errors in short or simple structures and can logically select and order main ideas or divisions in a sustained paragraph using appropriate transition words. Students at this level demonstrate a basic understanding of appropriate writing.
Writing-Level 2. In addition to performing successfully at Level 1, students who are proficient at Level 2 also recognize appropriate agreement among basic elements when they are complicated by intervening works or phrases. They avoid errors in relatively long and complicated constructions. They are able to recast several simple clauses using a single more complex combination. Students performing at this intermediate level can recognize and use the elements of good writing.
Writing-Level 3. In addition to performing Level 1 and Level 2 skills successfully, students at Level 3 also can identify logical statements and comparisons and is able to solve difficult or subtle writing problems such as appropriate use of parallelism. These students can make fine distinctions among closely related root words and grammatical structures characteristic of a mature writing style.
Mathematics-Level 1. Students at Level 1 demonstrates basic number sense and skills in arithmetic operations and relationships and in elementary geometry and measurement. Students at this basic level can read and interpret information from simple graphs or charts, solve simple equations or evaluate expressions, and solve simple and routine word problems.
Mathematics-Level 2. In addition to performing successfully at Level 1, students who are proficient at Level 2 also understand number systems, including order, magnitude, and relationships of integers, functions, and decimals. Students at this intermediate level can solve moderately difficult equations and inequalities, evaluate complex formulas, compare and apply information from more complex charts and graphs, and apply reasoning, geometry, and measurement skills in solving moderately complex problems including word problems.
Mathematics-Level 3. In addition to performing Level 1 and Level 2 skills successfully, students at Level 3 also can generalize and apply mathematical knowledge and skills in non-routine situations and demonstrate real comprehension of exponents, variables, geometry, and measurements. A student at this mature level can solve multi-step and non-routine problems involving a range of reasoning skills.
Reading-Level 1. “Basic” students at Level 1 recognize and comprehend discrete pieces of information, (e.g., a single detail, information presented in a single sentence) as well as relationships or connections explicitly stated in a passage and understands words and phrases in context.
Reading-Level 2. In addition to performing successfully at Level 1, students who are proficient at Level 2 can also gather information from different sections of a passage and recombine it. These intermediate students recognize relationships that can be inferred but are not explicit. They can recognize summaries and alternative ways of stating information, interpret figurative language, and recognize the point or purpose of a passage as a whole or significant portions of a passage.
Reading / Critical Thinking-Level 3. In addition to performing Level 1 and Level 2 skills successfully, students at Level 3 can also evaluate and analyze arguments and, within an academic field, handle interpretation, inductive generalizations, or causal explanations. “Mature” Level 3 reading and critical thinking skills are differentiated in the following ways within each of the three content areas included in the Profile; Working with Humanities content, students at this level evaluate alternative views and interpretations. In the Social Sciences, “mature” students evaluate claims, disputes, and inductive generalizations; In the Natural Sciences, students evaluate explanatory hypotheses and draw conclusions.
