The Basics
Student participation forms will be required
for any photo or video assignments.
(change) - This can be the general photo
release form the school uses.
***We need to make sure we blot out names of
students, teachers, and schools on submitted
assignments – reviewers want complete
anonymity.
The following teachers will be involved:
• Arts Education
• Healthful Living
• International Baccalaureate
• World Languages
• Advanced Placement (60% rule)

High School Participation
1. If 60% of an educator’s classes* are in ASW subject
areas, then the educator must participate in both ASW
and any other Standard 6 measure covering the
remaining classes.
2. If 60% of an educator’s classes* do not fall in ASW
subject areas, then the teacher is not required to
participate in ASW.
*Please note that locally developed electives that do not
follow the standards set forth in the NC Standard
Course of Study are not included in the ASW Process.
How will ASW Function?
• Teachers will choose a clarifying objective from the
Standard Course of Study. The teacher will then give an
assignment with little or no classroom instruction. Then the
teacher will give the same assignment or even a more
advanced version of the assignment at a later date in order to
demonstrate growth on that clarifying objective.
•These assignments are known as Timelapse Artifacts.
•Teachers will do this 5 times throughout the school year with
5 different classes (if they have five different classes).
• DPI (The Online Platform) will choose classes and students.
Clarifying Objectives
**Remember, each content area
has their own nuances for
choosing objectives – pay close
attention to the “strands and
objectives chart.”
Objectives:
Using the Strands,
Modes, and
Standards
guidance charts, the
teacher will choose
5 objectives.
The Importance of Course Codes & Class Numbers
If the course code is not correct
in Power School or within ASW,
please contact your data
manager / content lead. If the
code is wrong, your ASW will
also be incorrect and it will affect
your Standard 6.
A minimum of 6 students must be on
the roster for a class in order for that
class to be selected by the ASW
Online Platform.

Lessons Learned from Pilots
Choose objectives carefully
 Pay close attention to the what the objective is asking
students to do (analyze, demonstrate)
 Build Timelapse Artifact assignments around objectives
 Realize not all objectives link easily to ASW process
 Not all clarifying objectives lend themselves to a “whole
group option.”
 Meet entire objective – not just part of it.
Resources
NC ASW Wiki Page - http://ncasw.ncdpi.wikispaces.net/
Great Resource: The wiki has training modules, PowerPoints,
and a frequently asked questions section. It has now been
updated!!
Also, this resource page has screencast videos and webinars to
help teachers with this process.
Middle School SS Techbooks
• NHCS has granted us $8,000 dollars
to spend on an electronic tech book.
• ($15,000 dollars per grade level)
• Would schools be willing to pick up
the remaining balance to get each
student a log-in?
• The Social Studies leads said a textbook for each
student was their number one resource priority.
• Would you like for me to submit a budget request
for next year and would schools be willing to fund
the remaining balance?
