Student Progression Procedures

A complete Student Progression Plan is available upon request.

The School Board of Polk County, Florida, is dedicated to the total and continuous development of each student. The professional staff of the school system has the responsibility to develop administrative procedures to ensure the placement of each student in the subject, in the grade level, or in the special program best suited to meet the student’s academic needs, with consideration given to social, emotional and physical development.

Multi-tiered System of Supports (MTSS)

The purpose of the instructional program in the district’s schools is to provide appropriate instruction and additional supports, if necessary, to enable students to perform academically at their grade level or higher. To ensure that consideration for the needs of all students are met, the district will follow the Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) model. This model requires the following components:

A multi-level prevention system or tiers of support, also called Multi-Tiered System of Supports;

A process to organize data-based decision making at all levels of support, also called Problem Solving;

Review of data, consisting of:

universal screening to identify students at risk;
progress monitoring to monitor students’ progress and the effectiveness of the supports provided to students;
final outcome data.

Student Performance Standards

Each district school board is required to establish a comprehensive program for student progression as well as standards for evaluating each student’s performance. District student progression plans help to ensure that the required program of study, placement, promotion, reporting, retention, and assessment procedures are equitable and comprehensive, thereby providing accountability for all students

Mastery of Performance Standards

Provide to students who have an excused absence(s) from instructional time the opportunity to demonstrate mastery of student performance standards using either the same or an equivalent method as provided during the missed instructional time. Please refer to the Attendance section of the Student Progression Plan for more information related to makeup work and absenteeism.

Assessment of Student Performance Standards

Student mastery on Student Performance Standards for each high school course may be assessed using a variety of sources, including but not limited to: teacher observations, oral presentations or reports, speech, recitation, impromptu speaking, response to questions, labs/experiments, lab practicals , demonstrations, class assignments (including homework), paper and pencil assignments, worksheets, research papers, models, projects, exhibits, posters, assessments.

Evaluation of Student Achievement

Student assessment and promotion in Polk County's public schools is based upon an evaluation of each student's achievement in terms of appropriate instructional goals. The basis for making the determination should reflect consideration of the following: progress tests, classroom assignments, daily observation, standardized tests, state assessment, and other objective data. The primary responsibility for determining each student's level of performance and ability to function academically, socially and emotionally at the next grade level is that of the classroom teacher, subject to review and approval of the Principal.
