Standards & ASSESSMENT Academic Assessments • Districts will be allowed to use a nationally recognized alternative assessment, approved by the state, for high schools in place of the statewide assessment • Locally selected, nationally recognized high school assessments ODE will establish a process to review potential nationally recognized assessments in order to determine which may be approved for local selection. This process will include: • A Request for Information (RFI) to assessment vendors; • Committee developed evaluation criteria; and • Process for use of any approved assessments
Accountability & school/district improvement • Oregon’s proposed accountability system features: • No overall school rating • Each indicator will be rated • Additional indicators for English learner (EL) progress and for school quality/student success • Indicators will be grouped into three categories: Opportunity to Learn, Academic Success, and College &Career Readiness • Some data collected for accountability purposes; some data for reporting purposes and not used to identify schools
Accountability & school/district improvement • Indicator Categories: • Opportunity to Learn • reflects whether the school has created an environment that fosters excellent teaching and student learning • Academic Success • reflects traditional academic outcomes • College and Career Readiness • reflects how well schools have prepared students for their next steps

Accountability & school/district improvement • Redesign School and District Report Cards • Implement a multiple measures dashboard • Create a brief (i.e., two-page) summary report card that can be printed and sent to parents • Move much of the detailed data reporting to an on-line application, reducing the reliance on paper reports
