While standardized testing has been a tool used by both LEAs and departments of education for more than a century, the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 introduced national standards-based testing and mandated annual testing in third through eighth grade as well as once in high school. In 2015, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) modified national testing requirements with the goal of administering fewer tests of a higher quality. The federal acts include expectations of accountability, increased flexibility, and expanded federal aid for specific programs.  \nLEAs use assessments for a variety of purposes, beyond simply meeting federal requirements. These tests inform districts about student progress and, when needed, indicate when they should provide additional student support. The results of assessment also help guide and strengthen future teaching through additional training and changes to curriculum. Finally, they help the LEA communicate to citizens how their schools perform compared to others in the state.  \nBackground  \nIn Ohio, the State Board of Education has adopted learning standards in several subject areas including mathematics, English language arts, science, and social studies. 1 These standards outline knowledge and skills students should attain by grade level and subject matter with a focus on preparing school children for success beyond high school graduation. Standards are reviewed on a periodic basis to ensure they  \n NOTE TO REPORT USERS:  \nDue to the state of emergency resulting from COVID-19, Spring 2020 state assessments were cancelled. At the time of this report, Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 state assessments are scheduled to be administered.  \nremain suitable and appropriate. Standardized student assessments are one way of tracking academic achievement of these learning standards, and the State Board of Education is required to establish a statewide assessment program, 2 which is implemented by ODE. In some cases, the General Assembly may also pass legislation on standardized student assessment to include or remove an assessment beyond those required by the federal government.  \nThe federal government has identified minimum testing requirements based on subject area and grade levels. Ohio’s statewide assessment program is approved by the United States Department of Education (US DoE) for compliance with federal regulations, and it also satisfies testing requirements as defined in Ohio Revised Code (ORC) .3 The ESSA and prior federal  \n1 Pursuant to ORC §3301 .079  \n2 Pursuant to ORC §3301 .0710  \n3 Ohio testing requirements are identified in ORC §3301 .0710 and ORC §3301 .0712 and Federal testing requirements are identified in the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015, Public Law 114-95, 114th Congress, December 10, 2015.  \nrequirements were promulgated to ensure that students in the United States received an appropriate quality of education in grades K-12.  \nThe assessments, which are developed by ODE with significant input from Ohio instructional personnel and other stakeholders and experts, are administered by LEAs and are graded by ODE.4 Developing and implementing statewide assessments is an evolving process. From changes in testing delivery due to technological advances to updating test questions to ensure fairness to all Ohio students, ODE is constantly reviewing how students are assessed in Ohio. Additionally, changes to federal or state requirements associated with education may necessitate large scale changes in testing procedures, such as the addition or removal of a particular test.  \nIn order to meet the demands associated with statewide testing development and implementation, ODE contracts with a third party vendor which provides a variety of support services related to test development and implementation as well as the technological administration","cbCaipiXXewo0hXX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipiXXewo0hXX","pdf",273927,18,"English","# Background\n## Ohio learning standards and statewide assessment program\n## Federal requirements and statutory alignment\n# Assessment administration and vendor support\n## Test delivery, technical support, and test development\n# Why we looked at this","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of standardized student assessments in Ohio?\",\"answer\":\"They track student achievement against state learning standards and inform districts about progress, guiding additional support and future teaching.\"},{\"question\":\"How did federal policy change standardized testing requirements?\",\"answer\":\"No Child Left Behind introduced nationwide standards-based testing, and the Every Student Succeeds Act revised requirements to focus on fewer, higher-quality tests.\"},{\"question\":\"What COVID-19 impact affected Ohio state assessments in 2020?\",\"answer\":\"Spring 2020 state assessments were cancelled, with Fall 2020 and Spring 2021 scheduled at the time of the report.\"}]","Ohio Student Assessments - Standardized Student Testing Overview | PDF",1790665347,45]
