These tests are not meant to tell the whole story. They are meant to be combined with other measures, including teacher feedback, classwork and projects, and report card grades. Together, these measures can give families a more complete picture of a student’s performance so they can better support learning at home and advocate for their child.  \nState Assessments 101  \nThe Every Student Succeeds Act or ESSA, requires students to take state tests in reading and math every year in third through eighth grade and once in high school. In Oklahoma, students in third through eighth grade take the Oklahoma State Testing Program (OSTP) in English language arts and math. Students in fifth and eighth grade also take a test in science.  \nHigh school students take a two-part College and Career Readiness Assessment (CCRA) in 11th grade. The first part is the ACT or SAT, depending on which test the district chooses to give. The second part is a test focused on the content in the science and U.S. History courses.  \nA Family Guide to Annual State Tests in Oklahoma  \nA Focus on Grade Level Skills  \nUnlike other tests, OSTP is focused on grade level material and is aligned to the state standards. The test questions match what students do and learn in the classroom every day throughout the year, which are the grade level skills that are most important for students to learn in order to move on to more challenging content.  \nThe OSTP can be taken online or with paper and pencil. Each school district decides how students will take the test. The test includes a variety of different types of questions, including traditional multiple choice and questions that require them to explain their answer.  \nGrade 6: Math  \nTwo lines intersect in the diagram shown below.  \n127o  \nxo  \nWhat is the value of x? A 37  \nB 53  \nC 127 D 217  \nGrade 3: ELA  \nWhich sentence from“The American Buffalo” is an opinion?  \nA A bison is another name for a buffalo.  \nB The American buffalo came to North American from Asia.  \nC This was quite a beautiful sight.  \nD There is a protected herd of buffalo in  \nYellowstone National Park.  \nA Family Guide to Annual State Tests in Oklahoma  \nUseful Information for All  \n FAMILIES:  Understanding Grade Level Performance  \nThe OSTP report gives families information on how well their child performed on different sets of skills in each subject. Families can use this information to identify where their child is doing well and where they may need support or practice. This helps families better support learning at home. It can also help them start meaningful conversations with teachers, set goals for each student’s areas of improvement and identify resources and strategies that can be used at home and in school to help students make progress.  \nQuestions to Ask the Teacher about Your Child’s OSTP Report:  \n• What does this mean about my child’s learning?  \n• Is my child on grade level?  \n• Where does my child need more support or improvement?  \n• What short-term learning goals should my child meet to show progress?  \n• How can I support learning at home?  \n?  \n TEACHERS:  Informing Instruction  \nStudents take different types of tests throughout the school year. Some students take benchmark or diagnostic tests, such as MAP Growth, i-Ready or mCLASS. These are taken several times a year and measure mastery of important concepts and skills in reading and math. Students take a test at the beginning of the year to identify their “starting point” and again throughout the year to measure their progress. Benchmark tests help teachers identify and address learning gaps early on so students can stay on track to meet grade level expectations. While OSTP is only given at the end of the school year, it is one way of showing how much progress students made from th","cbCaifsvylN1HpOl","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifsvylN1HpOl","pdf",1257116,"English","# State Assessments 101\n## OSTP by grade level\n## CCRA for high school\n# A Focus on Grade Level Skills\n## Test alignment and format\n## Example questions\n# Useful Information for All\n## Understanding grade level performance\n## Questions to ask the teacher\n# Informing Instruction and Decisions\n## Teachers: using results for instruction\n## School and district leaders: targeting support\n## State leaders: improving schools","[{\"question\":\"What tests are required under ESSA in Oklahoma and which grades take them?\",\"answer\":\"Students take state tests in reading and math every year in third through eighth grade and once in high school.
