[Assessment_Advisory_Committee] Update on 2014-15 Preliminary TAM

[CARTER Holly]

To: Assessment Advisory Committee
Subject: Update on 2014-15 Preliminary TAM

Thanks to all of you who took the time last week to review the draft 2014-15 Preliminary Test Administration Manual and submit feedback. As always, your input was invaluable and provided great insight. With your assistance, ODE staff were able to implement several beneficial refinements to the Preliminary TAM and identified additional Smarter-specific questions that we will need to come back to as we lock down content in the final version of the TAM.

ODE is now in the final stages of preparing the document for posting, and a public announcement will go out later this week alerting the field once the Preliminary TAM has been posted. This document represents a significant step in integrating the Smarter Balanced assessments into the Oregon statewide assessment system, and I'd like to thank you each again for your contribution (both in document review and in feedback at our March meeting).

Best,

Holly Carter
