PHILIP NICHOLS, KATIE PAK, EMILY PLUMMER, and LAURA DESIMONE FEBRUARY 2017 Suggested Citation: Stornaiuolo, A., with Flores, N., Nichols, T. P., Pak, K., Plummer, E., & Desimone, L. M. (2017) . Year 1 State Report: Ohio. Philadelphia: The Center for Standards, Alignment, Instruction, and Learning. About the Center on Standards, Alignment, Instruction, and Learning (C-SAIL) The Center on Standards, Alignment, Instruction, and Learning (C-SAIL) examineshow college-and career-ready standards are implemented, if they improve student learning, and what instructional tools measure and support their implementation. C-SAIL is led by Andy Porter, with a team of researchers from the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education, University of Southern California Rossier School of Education, American Institutes for Research, and Vanderbilt Peabody College. The Center is funded through a grant from the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of the U.S. Department of Education. C-SAIL research is supported by the Institute of Education Sciences, U.S. Department of Education, through Grant R305C150007 to the University of Pennsylvania, Graduate School of Education. The opinions expressed are those of the authors and do not represent views of the Institute or the U.S. Department of Education. Introduction The Center on Standards, Alignment, Instruction, and Learning (C-SAIL) examines how collegeand career-readiness (CCR) standards are implemented, whether they improve student learning, and what instructional tools measure and support their implementation. Established in July 2015 and funded by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of the U.S. Department of Education, C-SAIL has partnered with California, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Ohio, and Texas (and soon, California) to explore their experiences with CCR standards-based reform, particularly regarding students with disabilities (SWDs) and English language learners (ELLs) . This report examines how the state of Ohio is approaching CCR standards implementation during a time of transition, as they revised the Ohio Learning Standards in 2015–2016. The approval process will take place in 2016–2017, with new materials and revised standards ready for the 2017–2018 school year. For the purposes of this report and in keeping with C-SAIL’s focus, we concentrate on implementation of Ohio’s English language arts (ELA) and math standards. Ohio Academic Standards Timeline | At-A-Glance The adoption, implementation, and revision of Ohio’s CCR standards and assessments are part of an ongoing process spanning several years. Below is an overview of Ohio’s timeline for this process, beginning with the year that CCR standards were first adopted: | Year CCR standards were adopted | Ohio adopted new learning standards based on the Common Core State Standards in 2010. | | --- | --- | | Year(s) the CCR standards were fully implemented (all schools in the state were required to use the CCR standards.) | Ohio fully implemented CCR standards in 2013–2014. | | Year(s) CCR standards were/will be revised | The Ohio Department of Education is revising the ELA and math standards in 2015–2016, with proposed changes submitted to the Ohio Board of Education for approval in 2016–2017. | | Year(s) CCR-aligned assessments were fully administered across the state | The Ohio Achievement Assessment (PARCC test) for grades 3–8 in ELA and math and end-of-course tests in high school were fully administered in 2014–2015. | | Year(s) CCR-aligned assessments were/will be revised | The state assessment is currently under revision, to be field tested in 2015– 2016 and further developed in 2016–2017. | | Major policy develop- | Gov.
