Ohio Superintendent proposes testing reforms and new assessments
Superintendent Richard Ross outlines changes to reduce testing time to two percent of the school year and limit test practice to one percent. Proposals include dropping learning objectives from some teacher evaluations, removing the full third grade reading test with summer options, and ending certain diagnostic tests for grades one through three. The Ohio Department of Education seeks federal flexibility while monitoring PARCC and ASR test administration and pursuing a single test for multiple purposes. It also considers K readiness tweaks to address classroom disruption concerns.
