1. ↗ Smarter Balanced Scales, Strands, and Scores Megan Kim, Lake Oswego School District Leigh Anne Scherer, North Clackamas School District

2. Smarter Balanced Scoring Students will be scored as level 1-4 plus a scale score ↗1 = Student has not met the achievement standard and needs substantial improvement to demonstrate the knowledge and skills needed for likely success ↗2 = Student has nearly met the achievement standard and may require further development to demonstrate the knowledge and skills needed for likely success. ↗3 = The student has met the achievement standard and demonstrates progress toward mastery of the knowledge and skills needed for likely success. ↗4 = Student has exceeded the achievement standard and demonstrates advanced progress towards mastery of the knowledge and skills needed for likely success

3. Smarter Balanced Scoring ↗Level 3 is intended to represent the academic readiness threshold for success in non-remedial college courses ↗OUS and Oregon Community Colleges have announced placement policies for high school students achieving at level 3 & level 4 ↗Graduation standards (Essential Skills) are likely to be lower.

4. OAKS Work Samples Other standardized assessment Through 2013-2014 academic year Smarter Balanced Work Samples Other standardized assessment 2014-2015 academic year and beyond Oregon Graduation Requirements – Essential Skills

5. Essential Skills Update ↗ ODE is currently working to identify an equivalent level of achievement on Smarter Balanced, relative to the former “meets” cut scores on OAKS. ↗ Students will still have multiple methods of meeting the Essential Skills graduation requirements. ↗ Anticipated policy discussion at the State Board in September 2015, with adoption by October. ↗ Essential Skills requirements likely to be below Level 3 on Smarter Balanced.

10. School Accountability ↗ School Report Cards – Summer 2015 ↗ Oregon will not rate schools this summer. ↗ Report Cards will show Smarter Balanced % Proficient (3 or 4) compared with state average ↗ Focus, Priority, and Model schools retain 2014-15 status. ↗ Report Cards won’t show historic OAKS Math, Reading, Writing. ↗ School Report Cards – Summer 2016 ↗ Ratings resume ↗ Identification of next cohort of Priority and Focus Schools ↗ Resume annual identification of Model schools.
