Changes to Essential Skills Cut Scores ACT: AESRP determined that the Reading and Math assessments did not need to be re-evaluated. The AESRP recommended new achievement standards on ACT English and Writing that together could be used to demonstrate proficiency in the Essential Skill of Writing. The ACT achievement standards for the Writing Essential Skill went to the State Board of Education for a first reading on January 21 and will go for a second read/adoption on March 3, 2016.
Changes to Essential Skills Cut Scores Aspire: The replacement for the Plan is Aspire. AESRP will evaluate the technical quality of Aspire at their next meeting (April 8th). The timeline for evaluating Aspire and identifying a recommended achievement standard is still under development.
Changes to Essential Skills Cut Scores PSAT: The preliminary concordance table was provided by College Board (available here). Pending receipt of the final technical documentation from the College Board (anticipated to occur by mid-May), ODE anticipates engaging with AESRP to develop recommended achievement standards and taking a recommendation to the State Board of Education for adoption between June and October 2016. ODE will provide an updated timeline as additional information becomes available.
Changes to Essential Skills Cut Scores SAT: The revised SAT will be administered starting in March 2016; the timeframe for identifying an achievement standard and approving the redesigned SAT will be contingent upon the timeline for College Board s development of a table of scores where the percentage of students achieving each score is the same. This information has not yet been provided.
Smarter Balanced Scores in Higher Ed Policy adopted last spring by Oregon community colleges and universities allowing a 3 or 4 to sub in for a student having to take a placement exam Data Governance Committee currently reviewing requests for data sharing agreements with postsecondary institutions, but no set timeline yet identified
