[Assessment_Advisory_Committee] Change to School-Imposed Test Window Guidance for OAKS Online Science and Social Sciences

[Todd Bloomquist]

I agree with, Bill. The language makes more sense to me given SBAC going live this year.

Thanks,

Todd

Jordan,

I see no problem here, in fact I’m guessing that many/most districts will do their best to have Science testing completed before the Smarter window even opens.  The same seems likely for any district that decides to pursue any Social Science testing.

Good Afternoon,
ODE plans to remove the following language from the final version of the 2014-15 TAM related to school imposed windows for OAKS Science and Social Sciences.
School-imposed test windows for the OAKS Online Science and Social Sciences assessments must:

  *   Begin no later than the first school day in April;
  *   End no later than the end date for the statewide OAKS Online test window identified in the current year’s Test Schedule; and
  *   Last for at least four calendar weeks.


Please let us know by the end of the day tomorrow, Wednesday September 17, 2014 if you have any concerns about this change.

Thank you,
