| OH | Signed into law 07/2009 | P-12 | Replaces all references to "tests" to "assessments".
Section 3301.079: Existing law requires the state board to inform all districts when any achievement test has been completed; new provision extends this notification requirement to community schools, STEM schools, and nonpublic schools required to administer the assessment. Combines grades K-2 diagnostic assessments in reading and writing and grade 3 diagnostic assessment in writing into English language arts diagnostic assessment in those grades.
Section 3301.0710: Replaces grades 4, 5, 6 and 8 reading assessments with assessments in English language arts; replaces separate reading and writing assessments in grades 4 and 7 with single English language arts assessment (reducing from three to two the number of assessments administered in grades 4 and 7). Reduces the number of score designations on the state assessments from 5 to 3 (eliminating second-lowest "basic" and second-highest "accelerated" levels). Eliminates provisions establishing testing dates for grades 3-7 achievement tests and graduation tests; replaces with provision directing the state superintendent to designate dates and times for the administration of grades 3-8 assessments and Ohio graduation tests. In setting administration dates, directs the state superintendent to allow a reasonable length of time between the state assessments and the NAEP given in the same grade level. Eliminates provisions (1) directing the state board to require an alternate assessment to be submitted for scoring by a certain date, (2) allowing the state board to administer a state assessment to English language learners a week earlier than the date the instrument is administered to other students, and (3) requiring the state board to administer tests for each grade level over a two-week period.
Section 3301.0711: Specifies that once the new high school assessment system is implemented, the old Ohio graduation tests will not be administered to a person who has fulfilled the curriculum requirements for a high school diploma but who has not passed one or more of the old Ohio graduation tests.
3301.0712: Directs the state board, state superintendent and chancellor of the board of regents to develop a system of college and work ready assessments [OF NOTE: (the "college and work ready assessment system")] to assess whether students upon high school graduation are ready to enter college or the workforce. Provides that these assessments will replace the existing Ohio graduation tests as a prerequisite for a high school diploma. Provides that the system consists of three components:
(1) A nationally-standardized assessment measuring English language arts, math and science competencies, jointly selected by the state superintendent and chancellor
(2) A series of end-of-course exams in English language arts, math, science and social studies, [OF NOTE: jointly selected by the state superintendent and chancellor in consultation with subject area faculty] at University System of Ohio institutions]
[OF NOTE: (3) A senior project completed by a student or group of students. Specifies the purpose of the senior project is to assess the student's
(a) Mastery of core knowledge in a subject area chosen by the student
(b) Written and verbal communication skills
(c) Critical thinking and problem-solving skills
(d) Real-world and interdisciplinary learning
(e) Creative and innovative thinking
(f) Acquired technology, information and media skills
(g) Personal management skills such as self-direction, time management, work ethic, enthusiasm, and the desire to produce a high-quality product.]
[OF NOTE: Directs the state superintendent and chancellor to jointly develop standards for the senior project for students participating in dual enrollment programs. Also directs the state superintendent and chancellor to jointly designate the scoring rubrics and required overall composite score for the assessment system to assess whether each student is college or work ready. Requires that each senior project be judged by the student's high school in accordance with the rubrics designated by the state superintendent and chancellor.]
[OF NOTE: Requires the state board, within 30 days of adoption of the model curricula in English language arts, math, science and social studies (curricula must be adopted by March 31, 2011), to convene a group of national and state experts and local practitioners to provide advice, guidance and recommendations for the alignment of standards and model curricula to the assessments and in the design of the end-of-course exams and scoring rubrics.]
Directs the state board, upon completion of the assessment system, to adopt rules prescribing:
(1) A timeline and plan for implementing the assessment system, including a phased implementation if such is deemed warranted by the state board
(2) The date after which a person entering grade 9 must earn at least the composite score for the assessment system as a prerequisite for the high school diploma
(3) The date after which a person must attain the composite score for the entire assessment system as a prerequisite for an adult education diploma
(4) Whether and the extent to which a person may be excused from a social studies end-of-course exam (certain students are exempt from earning a minimum score on the social studies assessment under the current system)
(5) The date after which a person who has fulfilled the curriculum requirement for a diploma but has not passed one or more of the required assessments must attain at least the composite score for the entire assessment system as a prerequisite for a high school diploma
(6) The extent to which the assessment system applies to students enrolled in a dropout recovery and prevention program.
Requires the state superintendent, at least 45 days before the state board adopts a resolution to adopt the aforementioned rules, to present the assessment system to the house and senate education committees.

| GA | Vetoed 05/2009 | P-12 | Directs the state board of education to develop an evidence-based model program for chronically low-performing high schools receiving a reform grant for addressing at-risk students. Provides the model program must include various programs and curricula proven to be effective for at-risk students focusing on:
(A) Identification of students at risk for being poorly prepared for the next grade level or for dropping out of school
(B) Strengthening retention of ninth grade students in school and reducing high failure rates
(C) Improving more student performance to grade level standards in reading and mathematics by the end of ninth grade
(D) Assisting students and their parents in setting an outcome career and educational goal and identifying a focused program of study to achieve such goal
(E) Assisting students in learning and applying study skills, coping skills and other habits that produce successful students and adults.
Requires the program to include diagnostic assessments to identify student areas of academic strength and weakness, identify students in need and provide them with timely, appropriate assistance, and an evaluation component in each high school to ensure the programs are providing students an opportunity to graduate with a high school diploma. Provides the program may include various components to help students pass ninth grade such as flexible scheduling to increase course time in reading and math for deficient students; maintaining 9th grade student/teacher ratios that are as low as those in other high school grades; using experienced and effective teachers as leaders for teacher teams in 9th grade to improve instructional planning, delivery, and re-teaching strategies; assigning 9th grade students teacher mentors who will meet with them frequently; and including 9th grade career courses which incorporate a series of miniprojects throughout the school year that require the application of 9th grade level reading, math and science skills to complete while students learn to use a range of technology and help students explore a range of educational and career options that will assist them in formulating post high school goals and give them a reason to stay in
school and work toward achieving their stated goals.
Directs the state board to adopt rules for chronically low-performing high schools receiving a reform grant. Provides such rules must encourage high schools to implement a comprehensive school reform research-based model that focuses on:
(1) Setting high expectations for all students
(2) Personalizing graduation plans for students
(3) Developing small learning communities or career academies with a rigorous academic foundation and emphasis in broad career fields of study
(4) Using project based instruction embedded with strong academics to improve relevancy in learning
(5) Fostering collaboration among academic and career/technical teachers;
(6) Implementing nontraditional scheduling in ninth grade for students behind in their grade level
(7) Promoting parental involvement
(8) Training teachers to work with low-performing students and their parents or guardians.
Directs the state board to establish a competitive grant program for local school systems to implement school reform measures in selected high schools, including program requirements and grant criteria, which must include that priority for awarding of grants be given to chronically low-performing high schools. Requires recipient high schools to:
--Provide focused programs of study (see pp 7-12 of this bill) aligned with graduation requirements
--Implement a teacher advisor system pairing an educator with a small group of students throughout their high school careers to help them and their parents set postsecondary goals and help them prepare programs of study, using assessments and other data to track academic progress on a regular basis; communicate frequently with parents; and provides advisement, support and encouragement as needed
--Provide students with information on education programs offered in high school, 2- and 4-year institutions, and through apprenticeship programs and how these programs can lead to a variety of career fields. Requires local school systems to provide opportunities for field trips, speakers, educational and career information centers, job shadowing, and classroom centers to assist students and their parents in revising, if appropriate, the student's individual graduation plan
--Enroll students in one of three enumerated diploma options
--Implement the at-risk model program
--Schedule annual conferences to assist parents and their children in setting educational and career goals and creating individual graduation plans beginning
with students in the 8th grade and continuing through high school.
By July 2010, directs the Office of Student Achievement to include in the accountability system emphasis on improving student achievement and increasing high school graduation rates, with the goal of having all public high schools in Georgia reach at least a 90 percent high school completion rate by July 2020, with annual incremental targets.
Requires individual graduation plans to be annually reviewed and revised if appropriate. Allows individual graduation plans to be revised at any time throughout a student's high school career.

| ND | Signed into law 05/2009 | P-12 | Requires districts to administer annually to students in grades 2-10 the measures of academic progress test or any other interim assessment approved by the superintendent of education. Requires all 11th grade public and nonpublic school students to take the ACT or set of three WorkKeys assessments (students choose which). The district pays for the cost of one summative assessment and its administration per student. Requires the career advisor or counselor to meet with students to review results. Students can be exempt if taking the test is not required by an IEP or if there are other special circumstances. If the state superintendent determines that costs can be reduced through the use of a state procurement process, the superintendent is to work with districts to procure and arrange for administration of assessments and withhold each district's share of the total cost from state aid. Students under age 21 pursuing a GED may take the ACT or three WorkKeys assessments, and the student's career advisor or guidance counselor must meet with the student to review the student's assessment results.

| KY | Signed into law 03/2009 | P-12 | Repeals language referring to the Commonwealth Accountability Testing System (CATS). Directs the state board, using the revised content standards to be approved by December 15, 2010, to implement an annual statewide assessment system for implementation in the 2011-12 school year. Requires the board, in developing the assessment system, to also seek the advice of the Education Assessment and Accountability Review Subcommittee within the Legislative Research Commission. Calls for the implementation of:
(1) Grades 3-8 criterion-referenced assessments in reading and math, augmented with a customized or commercially available norm-referenced test to provide national profiles
(2) Criterion-referenced assessments in science and social studies, to be administered once each in the elementary and middle grades, augmented with a customized or commercially available norm-referenced test to provide national profiles
(3) An on-demand writing assessment to be administered once in the elementary grades, twice in the middle grades, and twice in the high school grades
(4) An editing and mechanics test for writing, using multiple choice and constructed response items, to be administered once each in the elementary and middle grades, and twice in the high school grades
(5) A grade 8 high school readiness exam in English, reading, math and science; except the readiness assessment may be administered in grade 9 if the state board determines moving the test would be in students' best interest

(7) A criterion-referenced social studies test administered once during high school grades, augmented with a customized or commercially available norm-referenced test to provide national profiles
(8) A grade 10 college-readiness test in English, reading, math and science
(9) The ACT, testing English, reading, math and science, administered in grade 11.
Adds that student scores on the grade 8 high school readiness or grade 10 college-readiness test indicate advanced work is required in English, reading or math must have intervention strategies for accelerated learning incorporated into his or her learning plan.
Provides the criterion-referenced assessments must have constructed response and multiple choice items, and that the nationally normed assessments must be multiple-choice. Permits the state board to adopt end-of-course exams in lieu of criterion-referenced tests. Provides that assessment results must be used to determine appropriate instructional modifications to allow all students to make continuous progress, including students who are advanced learners. Requires the state board to conduct periodic alignment studies that compare the norm-referenced tests with the breadth and depth of the standards. Authorizes the state board, based on the findings of these studies, to decrease the number of criterion-referenced items.
Beginning in the 2011-12 school year, requires all districts to administer the statewide assessments during the last 14 days of school. Provides testing may take no more than five days. Directs the state board to adopt regulations on the procedures to be used during the testing process to ensure test security, including procedures for testing makeup days. Requires the state board, in revising the assessment system for implementation in 2011-12, to ensure that a technically sound longitudinal comparison of the assessment results for the same students be made available.
New KRS 158.6453(1)(e) defines formative assessment as a process used by teachers and students during instruction to adjust ongoing teaching and learning to improve students' achievement of intended instructional outcomes. Specifies formative assessments may be commercial assessments, classroom observations, teacher-designed classroom tests and assessments, and other processes and assignments to gain information about individual student learning.
Provides the assessment program may include formative and summative (i.e., semester- or year-end) assessments that:
(1) Measure student achievement in language, reading, English, mathematics, science and social studies
(2) Provide diagnostic information identifying individual students' strengths and academic deficiencies in the content areas
(3) Provide comparisons with national norms for math, reading, social studies, and science, and where available, comparisons to other states
(4) Provide teachers with information that can enable them to improve instruction for current and future students
(5) Provide longitudinal profiles for students
(6) Ensure school and district accountability for meeting state education goals.
Beginning with the 2011-12 school year, requires every school serving primary-level students to use developmentally appropriate diagnostic assessments and prompts to measure readiness in reading and mathematics. Provides the results must be used to inform teachers and parents of each student's skill level.
Adds that one use of Commonwealth school improvement grant funds may be to help teachers and administrators make better use of formative and summative, performance-based assessments.
Requires the assessment program to include state and local program reviews and audits in selected content areas. Provides that state and local program reviews and audits must provide schools with annual feedback on selected programs and serve as indicators of the quality of students' educational experiences. Requires program reviews and audits to provide recommendations for improving teaching and assessment, and to ensure school and district accountability for student achievement. Beginning in the 2011-12 school year, the state assessment program must include program reviews and program audits for arts and humanities, practical living skills and career studies, and the writing programs, the results of which to be included in the state accountability system.
Directs the department of eductation to provide guidelines for (1) arts and humanities programs, (2) practical living skills and career studies, and (3) effective writing programs, and for the integration of the arts and humanities and practical living skills and career studies guidelines into every school's curriculum. Also requires (1) practical living skills and career studies and (2) effective writing program guidelines to be integrated into the curriculum of all teacher preparation programs. Directs the department of education to establish (1) arts and humanities program, (2) practical living skills and career studies and (3) effective writing program criteria for use in program review and audit processes, along with the procedures recommended for local district and department program reviews and program audits. Requires the department to distribute the criteria and procedures for program reviews and audits to all schools and teacher preparation programs. Directs every district to conduct an annual program review, and the department of education to review every school's programs in these three areas within a two-year period. Requires every school-based decision making council to analyze its school's program review findings and determine how it will address program recommendations to improve the program for students. Requires the department to ensure that all schools and districts understand how the program review and audit results will be included in the accountability system, and to provide assistance to improve the quality of such programs.
Specifies that the writing program must incorporate a variety of language resources, technological tools and multiple opportunities for students to develop complex communication skills for a variety of purposes. Provides that writing portfolios must be part of any K-12 writing program, must be part of the required criteria for the writing program review and audit process, and must be maintained for each student, following the student from grade to grade and to any school the student may enroll in.
Requires the state board to adopt rules that prohibit inappropriate test preparation activities by district employees charged with test administration and oversight, including the issue of teachers being required to do test practice in lieu of regular classroom instruction and test practice outside the normal work day. Provides the revisions must include disciplinary sanctions that may be taken toward a school or individuals.
Amends KRS 158.816 to replace CATS with reference to revised assessment system (in provision requiring annual analysis of and report on achievement of technical education students who have completed or are enrolled in an at least 3-credit sequence of a technical program.

Postsec. | Provides that the general assembly finds the continuing high rates of postsecondary remediation totally unacceptable and an unwarranted additional expense to the state, students and parents who expect that completion of high school coursework should lead to successful entry and success in postsecondary education. Directs the council on postsecondary education, the state board and the department of education to develop a unified strategy to reduce college remediation rates by at least 50% by 2014 from what they are in 2010 and increase the college completion rates of students enrolled in 1 or more remedial classes by 3% annually from 2009 to 2014. Requires written plan to reduce college remediation rates and increase graduation rates to be prepared by May 15, 2010, and for the initial plan to be presented to the interim joint committee on education and the interim joint committee on appropriations and revenue during the 2010 interim. Requires the written plan to include:
(a) Yearly goals
(b) Action strategies that will be used
(c) Timelines
(d) Assigned responsibilities for carrying out the strategies;
(e) Reporting mechanisms.
Directs the agencies, during the preparation of the plan, to investigate whether the current requirements for assessing college readiness are providing needed information, whether additional diagnostic assessments are needed, particularly in high school-level math, and whether accelerated learning programs have actually been implemented as required by Section 6 of this act to address students' needs for instructional interventions in English, reading and math.
Requires the agencies to annually report the results of their efforts to the interim committees, and where appropriate, for the annual reports to include recommendations for legislative actions. http://www.lrc.ky.gov/record/09RS/SB1/bill.doc

| KY | Adopted 02/2009 | P-12 | Establishes requirements for extended school services. Defines "A5 program" as an alternative program with no attendance boundaries, serving dropouts returning to an alternate educational environment, potential dropouts, discipline problem students, nontraditional students (e.g., students who have to work during the school day), students needing emotional or psychological treatment and other at-risk students. Clarifies that "extended school services" are for students unlikely to achieve proficiency, transition to the next level of learning successfully, or be able to meet the academic expectations in 703 KAR 4:060 without additional time or differentiated opportunity to learn. Adds that "extended school services" also includes instructional and support services provided as interventions included in the student's intervention plan, in primary through grade 5, or in the student's Individual Learning Plan, in grades 6-12, to ensure that the student remains in school and is on track to meet goals for postsecondary education and career after high school. Provides definitions for "formative assessment," "individual learning plan" and "interim or benchmark assessments." Adds community based mentoring and academic advising to noninstructional activities that may be characterized as "support services."
Clarifies that extended school services (ESS) are to to provide additional time and differentiated opportunity to learn in which rigorous academic and enrichment content are aligned with individual student needs to improve struggling students' performance. Provides that priorities for ESS must be placed on designing and delivering services to students at academic risk with specific objective that students are able to:
(1) Progress from grade to grade with their cohort
(2) Exit elementary school ready to meet middle school-level academic expectations
(3) Exit middle school ready to meet high school-level academic expectations
(4) Exit high school ready to meet academic expectations of postsecondary education and the workplace, with particular emphasis on literacy and mathematics.
Specifies that the extended school services provided to a student shall be planned, documented and evaluated through the intervention plan, at primary through grade 5, or in the student's Individual Learning Plan, in grades 6 through 12. Removes existing language on components that the instructional program for extended services must include. Requires the instructional program for ESS to include
(1) diagnostic assessments to identify areas of greatest academic need,
(2) Development of goals, in consultation with classroom teachers, for eliminating the identified academic need, including timelines and specific measurable outcomes
(3) Formative and summative assessments to facilitate student progress and to determine if the student has achieved the learning goals of the intervention plan
(4) Instructional strategies that are varied and that do not replicate practices that have proven to be ineffective for the student in the traditional classroom
(5) A plan for collaboration and consistent use of interventions among the teachers supporting the student in core academic classes and those providing supports through extended school services
(6) Counseling and academic advising to remove barriers to achievement
(7) Regular communication with the parent or guardian
Provides that the ESS instructional program may be operated during the regular school day or in night programs.
Specifies ESS must provide differentiated opportunity to learn. Directs certified staff to plan, deliver and evaluate extended school services instruction and supports in collaboration as part of a student's Individual Learning Plan (ILP)
Requires teachers providing instruction in extended school programs to be provided with professional development on effective instructional strategies for meeting the needs of at-risk students and use of formative assessment strategies to monitor progress. Requires certified staff to supervise noncertified tutors.
Provides that students may be identified as in need of extended school services based on student performance on high school, college or workforce readiness assessments required by KRS 158.6459
Requires districts solicit input from parents and the community to identify potential barriers to participation. Requires that identified barriers be addressed through engagement with community partners or off-campus locations of after school, weekend or evening services.
Provides "A6 program" means that unique line for a school that starts in the biennium ending with the school year 2009-10 at one standard error of measurement below the school's baseline accountability index to a point that is one standard error of measurement below 80 on the accountability index scale in the biennium ending with the school year 2013-14, with the calculated points defining this line rounded to the nearest tenth. If a school's baseline is above 80, the assistance line means a horizontal line at 80 minus one standard error of measurement.
