Community College | Directs the State Board of Education (SBE) to continue to participate in the development of the Common Core State Standards in conjunction with the consortium of other states, review all national assessments developed by both multistate consortia, and implement the assessments that the SBE deems most appropriate to assess student achievement on the Common Core State Standards. Requires, to the extent funds are made available, the SBE to plan for and require the administration of the ACT test for all students in the eleventh grade unless the student has already taken a comparable test and scored at or above a level set by the SBE.
Requires, to the extent funds are made available for this purpose, the SBE to plan for and require the administration of diagnostic tests in the eighth and tenth grades that align to the ACT test in order to help diagnose student learning and provide for students an indication of whether they are on track to be remediation-free at a community college or university.

| NE | Signed into law 05/2011 | Postsec. | Adopts the Postsecondary Institution Act and amend provisions of the Private Postsecondary Career School Act. Sec. 85-961 currently provides that community colleges (with exceptions specifically authorized by statute and the Coordinating Commission for Postsecondary Education) have sole responsibility for the award of associate degrees, diplomas and certificates in less than baccalaureate degree program areas. Amends this provision so as to clarify that the reference to certificates relates to certificates comprised of courses at the associate-degree level or below. Authorizes the University of Nebraska (upon Coordinating Commission approval) to offer certificates within fields in addition to those already specifically authorized in statute, if the preponderance of the courses comprising the certificates is above the associate-degree level. Specifically directs the Coordinating Commission to conduct a study (with other education entities) regarding the need for uniform policies and practices for dual enrollment courses and career academies in Nebraska. Also provides for a three year pilot project beginning in 2011-12 for the administration of a standard college
admission test to students in the 11th grade.

Community College | On July 1, 2010, subject to appropriation, directs the state community college board to extend the College and Career Readiness Pilot Program for an additional 3 years and to include an additional 7 sites (or as
many as are allowed by available funding), as evidenced by the effectiveness of the current program. Provides that if funds are not appropriated for the program in any of these 3 additional years, the community college board must extend the program for an additional year. Two of the existing goals of the program are to (1) diagnose college readiness by developing a system to align ACT scores to specific community college courses in developmental and freshman curricula, and (2) provide resources and academic support to high school students to enrich the senior year through remedial or advanced coursework, and other interventions. Adds new provisions requiring that college placement exams also be aligned to developmental and freshman community college courses/curricula, and calling for enrichment of the junior year of high school (in addition to the senior year). Provides that the 1st year of the extended program begins with the high school classes of 2011 and 2012, the 2nd year with the high school classes of 2012 and 2013, and the 3rd year with the high school classes of 2013 and 2014 (or with later classes if funds are not appropriated for the program in a given fiscal year.)
Removes as a criterion for program participation a community college's willingness to submit developmental and introductory courses to ACT for analysis of college placement. Removes a provision directing the state board to work with ACT to analyze up to 10 courses at each participating community college to determine student placement and college readiness. Specifies that the "college readiness team" at each site must include, among other roleplayers, the chief academic officer, the chief student services officer, an institutional researcher, faculty, and counselors or advisers from the community college and high school. Clarifies that one means of evaluating program effectiveness is a comparison of college entrance exams or college placement scores, or both, within each group of students. Repeals provision directing the state community college board to work with participating community colleges and high schools to establish operational processes and a budget for college and career readiness pilot programs, including employment of a college and career readiness coordinator at each community college site. Directs the state community college board to report its findings and recommendations to the senate and house by December 31, 2013. http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/publicacts/96/PDF/096-1300.pdf

Eliminates provision allowing students wishing to improve their score to retake the PSAE in grade 12. Provides that a student may receive a high school diploma without taking the PSAE if a district is not required to test the individual under the No Child Left Behind Act or if the student is exempt from the assessment. http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/96/SB/PDF/09600SB2014lv.pdf

| 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.

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.
