Title: State Board of Education


1
Review and Revision of Instructional Materials
Adoption Process
  • State Board of Education
  • January 2014

2
Outline
  • Informational update for the Board
  • Oregon statutes and rules relating to
    instructional materials need to be revised to
    remove unnecessary regulations and enact
    supportive policies
  • 2014 Initiate statewide workgroups to provide
    feedback on an improved process and draft new
    legislation
  • 2015 Present new statutes to Oregon Legislature
    and update related administrative rules

Need to revise statutes and rules describing the
state adoption process
  • Rationale for need to change our current Oregon
    state adoption process
  • The current state adoption process requires
    publishers to pay for their materials to be
    reviewed, which creates an expensive process that
    may
  • Preclude smaller publishers from engaging in the
    review process or
  • Preclude some publishers from submitting all
    available materials
  • Currently, the state can only review basal
    materials that are paid by the publisher to be
    reviewed on a seven year cycle, which would
    preclude the review of
  • Supplemental materials (digital and/or print)
  • Intervention programs
  • Open Educational Resources (OER)
  • New materials developed between review cycles
  • Data is not collected to know what materials have
    been adopted off the list, or independently
    adopted in the state
  • A better understanding of what materials are
    adopted in the state will help districts as they
    consider the purchase of new materials

Need to revise Oregon statutes and rules
  • National reports, such as Choosing Blindly by
    the Brookings Institution, and Out of Print by
    State Educational Technology Directors
    Association (SETDA), strongly recommend states
    update their curricular review policies to keep
    up with changes in instructional materials
  • Effectiveness research of curricular materials
    underscore their importance
  • A thorough review of materials that results in
    identifying high quality curricula could
    potentially lead to significant gains in student
    achievement
  • Effect size, in standard deviations, of selected
    interventions on student test scores

Significance of the proposed change
  • Move to common standards means Oregon will need
    to adapt future adoption cycles to the
    development of shared standards
  • We need to start the conversation today how such
    adoptions could look in the future
  • A new process should take advantage of
    collaborative opportunities work with other
    states
  • This spring, CCSSO is initiating discussions
    about a possible multi-state review
  • Materials selection could impact student
    achievement as much as an effective teacher
  • More attention should be given to ensuring our
    students and teachers have access to quality
    materials in a variety of available formats
    including digital and print options

District survey results Need to revise Oregon
statutes and rules
  • ODE Staff Action
  • Beginning in 2014, ODE staff to work to convene
    regional and statewide workgroups to provide
    feedback and draft revisions of Oregon
    instructional materials statutes to be presented
    in the 2015 legislative session
  • Note Invitations were sent in January 2014 for
    districts to respond to the recommended actions
    and provide feedback. Twenty-eight districts
    within 12 ESD regions responded completed the
    survey.
  • District survey summary for this recommended
    action
  • 82 of respondents indicate they either Strongly
    Agree or Somewhat Agree with the given
    recommendation
  • 14 of respondents indicate they are Neutral with
    the given recommendation
  • 4 of respondents indicate they Somewhat Disagree
    with the given recommendation
  • 0 of respondents indicate they Strongly Disagree
    with the given recommendation

7
Considerations to begin conversations at this time
  • Key considerations guiding the start of this
    project
  • A new process needs to include the review of
    digital and/or open educational materials (OER)
    on an adaptive review cycle
  • A new process needs to minimize and/or remove
    barriers to publishers to encourage maximum
    participation of material submissions.
  • A new process needs to address how materials
    developed both within and outside the state of
    Oregon could be leveraged by schools and
    districts.
  • A new process needs to review materials that are
    both traditionally priced as well as newer
    purchasing arrangements such as subscriptions
    that would allow access to updated materials.
  • A new process needs to help identify high quality
    basal, supplemental, and open source formats,
    which would include establishing relevant review
    criteria for Oregon districts.
