New Oklahoma Academic Standards Approved by State Board of Education

New Oklahoma Academic Standards for Math and Reading are here http://sde.ok.gov/sde/newstandards. Required by August 1, 2016, the “annual high-quality statewide student assessments for English Language Arts and Mathematics” must be developed by the 2017-18 school year. 

In the meantime, Oklahoma’s PASS-aligned test blueprints will be unchanged “until the new assessments are implemented.” The current Test Item Specifications and Test Blueprints are in your Alpha Plus Teacher Binders and online at http://sde.ok.gov/sde/documents/2013-09-05/blue-prints-plds-item-specs.

Remember: Teaching to mastery the state subject-matter standards assessed is the KEY to improving student performance on state and federal accountability reports. Feel free to contact any of our Alpha Plus team members for answers to questions about state standards.
