Project OFAR: Oregon Formative Assessment Resources
Project OFAR adds to the foundation of Oregon’s first federally funded SLDS grant, the Oregon DATA Project. This project supports the enhancement of the data integration system in the statewide data warehouses by incorporating classroom performance and progress measures: building of large-scale data sets for policy analysis and development; and creation of pre-service teaching materials that use classroom performance and progress measures.

Outcomes
Integrate the infrastructure already extant in the Oregon Department of Education that supports the statewide assessment data with the University of Oregon's formative evaluation system easyCBM, using standardized curriculum-based measurement.
Support a large-scale database mining system for researchers across the country to conduct empirical investigations on either or both of the longitudinal data sets.
• Distal measures using annual statewide tests
•Proximal curriculum-based measures (measures collected monthly or more often)
Develop a web-based curriculum for the professional development of teachers-in-training who are attending one of the seven state institutions of higher education; these modules address assessment literacy as well as data-driven decision-making and are designed to be incorporated into courses offered as part of each institution's teacher-training program.
