2017-18 Trainings and New Modules New for 2017-18, the Oregon Department of Education has developed three required Kindergarten Assessment training modules for District Test Coordinators, School Test Coordinators (test administrators are required to watch modules based on the measures they are administering), along with an optional training module for Data Submitters. These modules are now posted on the Assessment Training Materials webpage. Currently, they are available in PowerPoint format, but recorded modules will be developed after the first online webinar. DTCs are required to view modules 1 3 (paying special attention to the presenter s notes) prior to attending a live webinar. If you are a District Testing Coordinator, register here to attend one of the required ODE provided Kindergarten Assessment webinar trainings: Wednesday May 24, 2017 from 3:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. Tuesday August 15, 2017 from 9:00 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. The deadline to register for one of these webinars is August 8, 2017.
Issues Reported with ELA PT Schools have reported that they have encountered the ELA PT showing as submitted before they believe the student has intended to do so. Please continue to report these instances to the AIR Help Desk so that they can investigate. ODE is working closely with AIR to track reported cases. If an ELA PT needs to be reopened, please also submit an irregularity report directly to ODE through the Test Impropriety Reporting System so that ODE can reopen the test as quickly as possible for the student to continue testing.
Revised Writing Scoring Guide The Revised Writing Scoring Guide was adopted by the State Board of Education in August of 2016 with the following transition plan: 2016-17- Districts had the option of using the Revised Writing Scoring Guide or the Legacy Writing Scoring Guide 2017-18- Only the Revised Writing Scoring Guide may be used to score Work Samples to demonstrate proficiency in the Essential Skill of Writing. The Legacy Writing Scoring Guide is no longer approved for this purpose. Posted resources, include: Student work scored using both scoring guides Resources explaining the development Information on the validation process to assure that the new rubric did not increase rigor Resources to support use in the 3-8 classroom, and cross-content use at the HS Note - There are two versions of the Revised Writing Scoring Guide: Narrative writing (personal or fictional) Explanatory or argumentative writing. Contact Holly Dalton at Holly.Dalton@state.or.us or (503) 947-5927 with questions.
Invalidated Test Participants If a student has one part of the test, for example the CAT, invalidated does that mean the entire test is invalidated? If the student completes the other part of the test would they be considered a participant? Yes, the participation rule is that either one question on the PT or five questions on the CAT must be completed, therefore if one segment is invalidated the student may still be considered a participant.
