  1. OREGON’S STANDARDS SETTING PROCESS Policy Definitions, Achievement Level Descriptors, and Math Achievement Standards

  2. Goals for Today • Review the Standards Setting Timeline • Hear from Stakeholders • Development process • Stakeholder Engagement • Adopt the High School Math Achievement Level Descriptors • Review the Grade 3 -8 Math Achievement Level Descriptors

  3. Background • Policy Definitions are general statements that describe rigor across grade levels and content areas and provide an overarching definition for each achievement level.  They are used for all subjects • Achievement Level Descriptors explain a students’ knowledge and skills at a specific Achievement Level by grade and subject. They are a key element in the establishment of cut scores. • Following national best practice, ODE will focus the Standards Setting panelists’ attention on a reasonable cut score given data on national and international benchmarks.

  4. Framework • General Policy Definitions (provide consistency across subjects and grades) • Math Policy Definitions (provide consistency within math across grades) • Math Achievement Level Descriptors by grade • Differentiate levels of achievement needed for university, community college, workforce development, etc.

  5. Definitions • Proficient: A student who is proficient has solid academic performance. • Mastery: A student who has mastered a subject is able to clearly explain all aspects of the subject to fellow students.

  6. Achievement Level Descriptor Development • Developed by group of math education experts after: • Review of Oregon’s 2006 ALDs • Review of national best practice • Review of ALDs from other states with high performance and high standards • Developed in preparation for summer Math Standards Setting • Reviewed by math stakeholders

  7. Next Steps • State Board adoption of the High School Achievement Level Descriptors • Review of the grade 3-8 Achievement Level Descriptors • Adoption of the grade 3-8 Achievement Level Descriptors is expected in May • Extended Assessment Math Achievement Level Descriptors will be presented in May for adoption in June.
