Oklahoma's assessment program needs many major improvements and perhaps a complete overhaul. It relies far too heavily on multiple-choice, uses an NRT on all students in two grades, and shows weak performance on most of the other standards. While bias review is solid, accommodations for IEP and LEP students are limited.
Professional development is inadequate.
Parental rights and public education are acceptable given the narrowness of the testing program. Reviews have not been adequate, but a stronger review is planned. Assessment supports important student learning. Oklahoma's assessment program consists of two tests. The SEA is developing tests in geography and culture and arts for the same grades, plus an 11th grade Oklahoma history exam.
