Criteria & Process for Core Criteria & Process for Core Standards DevelopmentStandards Development

• Core standards work based on Doug Reeves’ Endurance, Leverage & Success (Necessity) criteria

• Content and Assessment panels (ORS 329.045) used to develop new standards

• Public input obtained for draft standards

• Transitions in Science Assessment will be established in 2009-10

• The Crosswalk: Comparing the 2001 to the 2009 Science Content Standards will be available by Winter, 2010

• Item Writing to assess the new science standards for grades 3-8 and high school will begin Winter, 2010

Technology StandardsTechnology Standards• Adopted December of 2008• Aligned to the National Educational

Technology Standards for Students (NETS*S)

• Why standards? – CCGs did not have the visibility

necessary to require instruction around Ed Tech so that students are prepared for 21st C

Technology Standards Technology Standards

• Title II-D funds allocated at the national level require standards against which students can be evaluated– Districts receiving Title II-D funds will be

required to evaluate student progress on these standards using a state identified evaluation tool beginning in 2009-10

– ODE in the process of identifying tool

Social Science StandardsSocial Science Standards• Review and revision begins Fall 2010• Adoption expected Winter 2010/11• Partners

– Content & Assessment Panel– Design and review teams including members of

business and higher education– Public review

• Shift to the core standards structure– Grade level standards rather than benchmarks
