Dear District Test Coordinator,

The Office of Assessments at the State Department of Education is seeking recommendations for highly qualified educators to participate in the upcoming Grades 3-8 and End–of-Instruction (EOI) Oklahoma Core Curriculum Tests (OCCT) Standard Settings, Blueprint Writing, Content/Bias Reviews, and Performance Level Descriptors Writing Committees.

To ensure that an adequate representation of educators from around Oklahoma is selected, district personnel should submit the names of highly qualified teachers in Grades 3-8 Reading, Math, Writing, Science, Social Studies, Geography, and U.S. History and EOI Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, English II, English III, Biology I, and U.S. History.  We are also seeking highly qualified educators in special education. Please consider educators from your district who: 

  • demonstrate depth of knowledge in their content area;
  • demonstrate instructional expertise;
  • increase student achievement through the use of proven research-based practices;
  • participate in ongoing professional learning;
  • provide leadership among their colleagues;
  • represent the ethnic and regional diversity of your district;
  • teach diverse and/or exceptional student populations, including visually and hearing impaired students;
  • receive recognition for their contributions to teaching and learning; and
  • bring a fresh perspective to the OCCT development process.

To ensure a balanced, representative committee, not all nominees will be selected.  Districts are encouraged to nominate first-time participants.  All submissions will be required to provide one additional professional reference.  Participants are assigned to groups based on the information submitted in the nomination form including teaching position and experience, and committee preferences.
