INTERIM STUDY REPORT Common Education Committee Rep. Ann Coody, Chairman Oklahoma House of Representatives Interim Study 12-016, Rep. Casey September 27, 2012 Common education testing Rob Miller Jenks Middle School, principal Rob.miller@jenksps.org o Institutions will try to preserve the problem to which they are the solution. o Common Core Standards will encourage student reasoning and are more robust. His concern is how tests will accurately measure that. o Merit pay can have a negative impact on education by affecting cohesiveness and trust. Merit pay could make teachers more competitive and hide best practices from each other. o The PISA test only looks at the first layer of data. It is necessary to consider other factors. For example, in China, only 35 percent of students go to college. Most countries don’t test students of African descent. o The United States was doing better and improving faster before the implementation of No Child Left Behind. o An eighth grade student will take up to 15 important tests besides what’s going on in class. o Appropriate oversight of state assessments should be provided. Testing gains are not the same as learning gains and limited resources should be focused on early interventions and proven remediation strategies. Judy Trice Scott Kampmeier ACT, Inc., program directors 512-320-1850 o ACT is accepted for admission in all four-year institutions in the United States. o Teachers said the No. 1 concept for teaching algebra was solving the quadratic equation but college professors want students to have a deep understanding of math basics. o The ACT and other tests provided by the company provide ideas for progress to improve overall college and career readiness. o ACT has been compared to PASS standards.
