| UT | Adopted 09/2007 | P-12 | Defines "Formative assessment" as an activity, such as questioning, observation, interview and assessment, engaged in by teachers and students during instruction that provides feedback to adjust ongoing teaching and learning to improve students' achievement of intended instructional outcomes. "Online formative assessment system" means a system coordinated by the USOE for the online delivery of formative assessments that can be created by teachers, school districts/charter schools, or the USOE. One part of the system is the Utah Test Item Pool Service (UTIPS). Adds new application and awards procedures.

| SC | Signed into law 07/2007 | P-12 | Approves regulations of the Board of Education. This regulation addresses the requirement of the Education and Economic Development Act of 2005 that a separate regulation be written for at-risk students. The regulation defines at-risk students and outlines specific objective criteria for districts to use in the identification of students at-risk for being poorly prepared for the next level of study or for dropping out of school. The criterion includes diagnostic assessments to identify strengths and weaknesses in the core academic areas. The State Department of Education in collaboration with school districts will ensure that students are being properly identified and provided timely, appropriate guidance and assistance and to ensure that no group is disproportionately represented. The regulation includes evidence-based model programs for at-risk students designed to ensure that students have an opportunity to graduate with a state high school diploma. It will include an evaluation of model programs in place in each high school to ensure the programs are providing students an opportunity to graduate with a state high school diploma.

Requires TEA to contract for an evaluation of the program and to submit a report to the legislature in December of each even year regarding student progress and making recommendations for any statutory changes appropriate to promote mathematics and algebra readiness.

| WV | Signed into law 03/2007 | P-12 | From Fiscal Note: The purpose of this bill is to revise the standards, assessment and accountability system to accommodate the higher order thinking and learning skills consistent with the state's 21st Century Initiative. School and district improvement plans are to be electronic. The annual performance measures used for school and school system accreditation are separated from those required by the federal No Child Left Behind Act. The comprehensive statewide student assessment program will define a system of assessments to be administered under the direction of the state board. The assessment program is broadened to authorize formative assessments across the grade levels to support summative assessment, improve student achievement and promote 21st Century skills. The grade levels tested for calculating adequate yearly progress (AYP) would be 3 through 8 and 11.Allows the state board to require that student proficiencies be measured through the ACT EXPLORE and the ACT PLAN assessments or approved comparable assessments. Sets a uniform statewide assessment rate of at least 95% or the average of the participation rate for the current and the precenting two years is nine-five percent for the school, county and state. Another level of accreditation status is added for schools called "Distinguished" status, and the current "Seriously Impaired" status is renamed as "Low Performing" status.
