OSAS Professional Development Opportunity: ELA and Mathematics Summative Test Scoring

The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) is seeking educators interested in participating in the scoring of ELA and Mathematics test items for Oregon Statewide Summative Tests.

This opportunity to participate in summative test scoring is primarily intended for individuals who would like to deepen their understanding of hand-scored items and the rubrics used to score them.
As part of ODE’s collaboration with Measurement Incorporated (MI), applicants will be signed on as temporary employees with MI and will receive compensation at the standard ODE rate of $40.94 per hour.
Applicants will need to apply for either ELA or mathematics scoring.

NOTE: There are minimum technical requirements to install and run the scoring platform. For instance, the scoring platform does not run properly on ChromeOS.

The initial training for this project will occur on Monday, March 4, 2024, in Salem, OR. Substitute and travel costs for the March 4^th training day will be reimbursed based on ODE guidelines.

Following that training day, qualified raters will then remotely score items during their own off-contract time throughout spring. For additional information, please review the Summative Test Scoring Recruitment Notice.

ODE will prioritize selection based on educator and regional diversity, active classroom educators and instructional coaches, grade band scoring needs, and a combination of both new and experienced scoring experience.

The deadline for submitting an application is Tuesday, February 13, 2024, and ODE will notify successful applicants by February 16^th along with information on next steps.

If there are additional questions, then please contact either:

Tony Bertrand, Language Arts Assessment Specialist: tony.bertrand@ode.oregon.gov or
Andrew Byerley, Mathematics Assessment Specialist: andrew.byerley@ode.oregon.gov.
