<span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black">The Oregon Department of Education recently facilitated a work group for the purpose of reviewing and revising the Oregon Social Sciences Analysis Scoring Guide. Educators made recommended revisions to the current
Social Sciences Analysis Scoring Guide in alignment to the newly adopted 2018-2019 Social Sciences Analysis Standards. Current recommendations are reflected for the following grade bands: high school (9 – 12), middle school (6 – 8), elementary (3 – 5). Recommendations
will be presented to the Social Sciences Content and Assessment Advisory Panel in the coming weeks for further guidance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black">- They get to compete in a national test to test their knowledge of economics prior to the AP exams. That means they get to review the microeconomics and macroeconomics
materials and better prepare for the exams. Over the years every student who has completed has scored a 4 or 5 on both exams.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

however they have over 40 people signed up. This is a first for Westview.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:black;background:white">I'd say that it is a very good opportunity for students to <u>review
</u>and <u>assess t</u>heir knowledge of economics in a friendly, competitive, and <u>extremely easy</u> t<u>o use way</u>. I had never heard about it before last year and was afraid it might take me a lot of time to learn how to use- but the website does it
all for you! My students loved the practice quizzes, because they helped them out on my tests in class, and it also gave those students some "bragging rights" that made learning fun. On the day of the first round test, I couldn't believe how many students
voluntarily showed up to take the online test- I had a room full of kids after school! Then when our top team was asked to compete in the state competition- everyone was rooting for them. It motivated these kids to go even deeper into the content, on their
own time, which as a teacher is something that can be challenging to do. <u>All </u>of my students who participated in the ECON CHALLENGE passed their AP Macro and Micro exams also, which is a testament on the quality of questions your assessments asked. It
was so much fun, that in the beginning of this year, I already had kids and parents asking me if I was going to participate again. Of course, we are going to, it's great! <o:p></o:p></span></p>

in both San Francisco and Los Angeles. Enterprise High School is a small (150 students) public high school and I am extremely proud of my students whenever they can successfully compete at the same level as the large and mostly private schools that typically
have made up the majority of the schools competing in the Economic Challenge. I am a firm believer in the need to teach students economics concepts. . . . . the Econ Challenge is in my opinion a vital part of my self-evaluation of how well I am doing at
providing a relevant economics course for my students. The Economics Challenge provides my students, who are leaders in the classroom, an opportunity to display their academic prowess. This program is too important to lose. I encourage all parties who have
an opportunity to contribute to the revival and future success of this program to step up and ensure that economics education remains a strong part of all Oregon students' education.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
