  1. Oklahoma Educational Planning and Assessment System(OK EPAS) Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education Student Preparation Team Fall Workshop Series October 2004

  2. College begins in Kindergarten EPAS Update & Benchmarks Dr. Cindy Brown

  3. Social Justice Goals of the State Regents To make possible the participation of all able persons at the highest attainable level of academic life regardless of their race, ethnic background, sex, age, religion, disability, income level, or geographic location; and to provide for social justice in the form of equitable and fair treatment and for systematic adjustments in the form of positive action until equity is attained. (State Regents’ Policy and Procedures Manual, II-5-5)

  4. What is the purpose of assessment? Circle all that apply: • To rate and rank students? • To rate and rank school districts? • To promote student learning • To help improve instruction? • All of the above • None of the above

  5. What is the purpose of today’s workshop? • Blame the teachers • Blame the counselors • Blame the students • Blame the parents • Blame the administrators • Blame the lower grade teachers • All of the above • None of the above

  6. Data-Driven Decision Making • What is our reality? • What are we doing well? • What are our students not learning? • What must we do differently?

  7. State EXPLORE Scores1999 to 2003

  8. Do I really believe that all kids can learn?

  9. State PLAN Scores 1998 to 2003

  10. State ACT Scores 1999 to 2004

  11. State EPAS Development Class of 2004

  12. EPAS Development of a Cohort with National Benchmark Scores

  13. Do all students need a rigorous education?

  14. EPAS Development - OK African Americancomparedwith National College Readiness Benchmarks

  15. EPAS Development of OK Native American comparedwith National College Readiness Benchmarks

  16. EPAS Development of OK Mexican American comparedwith National College Readiness Benchmarks

  17. Are all students receiving a rigorous education in my school?

  18. Percentage of PLAN students planning to take Core

  19. Percentage of ACT Students Taking Core

  20. Percentage of PLAN Students planning to take Core by Ethnic Group

  21. Percentage of ACT Students taking Core by Ethnic Group

  22. State ACT Scores Core v. Noncore

  23. The Rubric

  24. The Rubric

  25. The Rubric

  26. PLAN predicts AP success

  27. Plan Scores Predict AP Success • Plan test scores are a good predictor of success in AP courses • Use to identify students not to deny access

  28. Plan Score and Chance of 3 or Higher AP Score

  29. Plan Score and Chance of 3 or Higher AP Score

  30. College Credit for AP in Oklahoma www.okhighered.org/student-center/jrhigh-highscl/earncredit.shtml

  31. Local Questions Good information for school and community

  32. OK EPAS Benchmarks College Readiness & College Remediation Dan Craig

  33. College Readiness Benchmarks • The benchmark is the minimum score needed to have a 50% chance of making a “B” or better OR • A 75% chance of making a “C” or better in credit-bearing college courses (English Comp., Algebra, or Biology)

  34. What Score Does it Take?

  35. How Many Are Ready?

  36. College Remediation Benchmarks • Students need a minimum of a 19 on ACT subject-area test scores to stay out of college remediation in Oklahoma • ACT has established minimum EXPLORE and PLAN scores that will lead to this 19 cut-score

  37. What Score Does it Take?

  38. How Many Are Ready?

  39. Oklahoma Remediation Rates

  40. Will Your Students be Ready? • Don’t rely on textbooks • Align your curriculum • What do you align to? • You can use ACT’s Standards for Transition

  41. What they do . . . • Standards for Transition show what students are likely to know & to be able to do in each score range • Worksheets show Standards by score range & ask important questions about your curriculum • Workshop materials offer sample questions for each score range

  42. Math Standards for Transition Algebraic Expressions Exhibit knowledge of basic expressions (e.g., identify an expression for a total as b + g) Score Range 13 – 15

  43. If f is the number of 1st graders who play soccer & s is the number of 2nd graders who play soccer, which of the following expressions represents the total number of 1st & 2nd graders who play soccer? • f + s • f - s • s - f • f x s • f / s A Score Range 13 - 15

  44. Math Standards for Transition Algebraic Expressions Exhibit knowledge of basic expressions (e.g., identify an expression for a total as b + g) Score Range 16 - 19 Substitute whole numbers for unknown quantities to evaluate expressions

  45. What is the value of ab + c • c • when a = 4, b = 0, & c = 2? • 1 • 2 • 3 • 4 • 5 A Score Range 16 - 19

  46. Math Standards for Transition Algebraic Expressions Exhibit knowledge of basic expressions (e.g., identify an expression for a total as b + g) Substitute whole numbers for unknown quantities to evaluate expressions Score Range 20 - 23 Manipulate basic algebraic expressions (e.g., substitute integers for unknown quantities, add & subtract simple algebraic expressions, multiply two binomials, & perform straightforward word-to-symbol translations)

  47. Which of the following is a simplified form of –8x - 4z + 5x + 2y + z - 3y? • 13x – y + 3z • 3x + y + 3z • -3x + 5y – 5z • -3x + y + 3z • -3x – y – 3z E Score Range 20 - 23

  48. Math Standards for Transition Algebraic Expressions Manipulate basic algebraic expressions (e.g., substitute integers for unknown quantities, add & subtract simple algebraic expressions, multiply two binomials, & perform straightforward word-to-symbol translations) Exhibit knowledge of basic expressions (e.g., identify an expression for a total as b + g) Substitute whole numbers for unknown quantities to evaluate expressions Score Range 24 - 27 Add, subtract, & multiply polynomials

  49. Which of the following polynomials is equivalent to 3x(2x2 + 1) – 4(3x2 + 2) + 5 ? • 6x3 – 12x2 + 3x + 13 • 6x3 –12x2 + 3x – 3 • 35x3 + 21x + 5 • -6x2 + 3x – 3 • -3x6 - 8 B Score Range 24 - 27

  50. Math Standards for Transition Algebraic Expressions Manipulate basic algebraic expressions (e.g., substitute integers for unknown quantities, add and subtract simple algebraic expressions, multiply two binomials, and perform straightforward word-to-symbol translations) Exhibit knowledge of basic expressions (e.g., identify an expression for a total as b + g) Substitute whole numbers for unknown quantities to evaluate expressions Add, subtract, & multiply polynomials Score Range 28 - 32 Write expressions for common algebra settings
