Committee members will be selected based on their experience as teacher leaders in Oregon with an eye to ensuring representation of  the state's diversity. The TAC will meet four times a year, and meeting dates will be determined following the selection of the committee.

Oregon Extended Assessment Guidance
ODE has updated guidance on the selection process used by IEP teams in determining whether a student should take the Oregon Extended Assessment. This updated guidance takes into account the current policies regarding the new Smarter Balanced Assessment and the focus on Oregon's assessments appropriately measuring the student populations they were designed to measure.
For details, please go to the "Oregon Extended Assessment Guidance" item posted on the Statewide Alternate Assessment webpage at http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/results/?id=178.
For questions or additional information, please contact Brad.Lenhardt at state.or.us<mailto:Brad.Lenhardt at state.or.us> at 503-947-5755.
