So You’re Doing the VGLA:
Presenting a strong collection of
evidence
Virginia Council of Administrators of Special Education
Participants will:
Review required components of a VGLA collection of evidence;
Discover optional resources that assist in the organization of a VGLA collection of evidence; and
Learn various differentiated instruction techniques to produce a VGLA collection of evidence.
A VGLA collection submitted for scoring to the local
scoring team must contain the following:
A signed VGLA Affidavit of Student Performance that demonstrates the student’s sole ownership/authorship.
Properly labeled evidence that demonstrates individual achievement on all targeted Standards of Learning.
A VGLA Assessment Worksheet used for scoring (recommended).

STUDENT EVIDENCE IDENTIFICATION (SEI) TAG
Beginning with the 2007- 2008 school year, all items submitted in the COE/CWC should include the newly designed Student Evidence Identification (SEI) tag.
EvidenceA collection may consist of a combination of the following types of evidence:
Work Samples - tests, quizzes, worksheets, and projects
Audiotape/Videotape – oral presentation, role play Anecdotal Record - observation using a protocol Interview Charts/Graphs
However, ONLY work completed by the student under the direct supervision of a teacher or paraprofessional is allowable.
Evidence must demonstrate knowledge and/or skills in the targeted SOL.
Evidence should be submitted for all of the assessed SOL based on the test blueprints.
Evidence may prove mastery of more than one SOL.
All evidence must be solely the student’s work completed in the presence of a teacher or authorized school personnel.
Evidence
USI.4 The student will demonstrate knowledge of European exploration in North America and West Africa by
a) describing the motivations, obstacles, and accomplishments of the Spanish, French, Portuguese, and English explorations;
b) describing cultural interactions between Europeans and American Indians (First Americans) that led to cooperation and conflict;
c) identifying the location and describing the characteristics of West African societies (Ghana, Mali, and Songhai) and their interactions with traders.
Evidence submitted must include everything in the stem as well as all of the bullets.
USI.4a The student will demonstrate knowledge of European exploration in
North America and West Africa by describing the motivations, obstacles, and accomplishments of the Spanish, French, Portuguese, and English explorations.
USI.4b The student will demonstrate knowledge of European exploration in North America and West Africa by describing cultural interactions between Europeans and American Indians (First Americans) that led to cooperation and conflict.
USI.4c The student will demonstrate knowledge of European exploration in NorthAmerica and West Africa by identifying the location and describing thecharacteristics of West African societies (Ghana, Mali, and Songhai) and their interactions with traders.

SOL Disaggregation
8.17 The student will create and solve problems, using proportions, formulas, and functions.
SOL Disaggregation
8.6 The student will verify by measuring and describe the relationships among vertical angles, supplementary angles, and complementary angles and will measure and draw angles of less than 360°.
SOL Disaggregation 8.14 The student will
a) describe and represent relations and functions, using tables, graphs, and rules; and
b) relate and compare tables, graphs, and rules as different forms of representation for relationships.

What Is Differentiation?
A teacher’s response to learner needs
The recognition of students’ varying
background knowledge and preferences
Instruction that appeals to students’
differences

Why Differentiate?
All kids are different.
One size does not fit all.
Differentiation provides all students with greater access to all of the curriculum.
