New Essential Skills Case Study Now Available

In the summer of 2012, ODE conducted a case study of nine districts currently using work samples as a part of their Essential Skills assessment system. The purpose was to identify various methods and strategies that districts are using in order to share this information with other districts and to inform ODE's future development of Essential Skills resources.

The case study is now posted on the Essential Skills webpage (http://www.ode.state.or.us/home/go/es) and it focuses on the following topics related to work samples:

Identifying and supporting students who will complete work samples;
Development and maintenance of work samples;
Professional development;
Policy decisions; and
Parent communication.
