EARLY LEARNING TRANSITION CHECK-IN (ELTC)
ELTC Pilot in 2024 (REPEAT)
As reported at the April DTC Webinar, the future scope of the design was pending based on engagement and legislation. There was no legislation passed in 2024 that would speed up the ELTC statewide implementation timeline. Therefore, the first component of the ETLC will
NOT be required statewide Fall 2024. At this point, there is no confirmed date of statewide implementation.
Even without legislation, 50 schools are slated to join the pilot process in 2024 and many more school districts are starting the process by adjusting the beginning of the year schedule for entering kindergarteners and communicating with staff and families about this upcoming change in practice.
During this upcoming pilot, ODE and DELC will continue to:
- engage with community to learn more about process and finalize questions
- finalize the methodology to analyze the qualitive data
- collaborate and build capacity to support data entry and reporting
To learn the more about the Community Informed Information Gathering Process at Kindergarten, please visit the
webpage.
For any additional questions, please contact
Sody Fearn, K-2 Balanced Assessment Specialist.
NAEP
NAEP Administration on School Devices
NAEP is testing the use of school computers/devices for test administration in 2024-2025 with plans for full implementation in NAEP 2026. The specifications seem quite different from OSAS. And, although NAEP is not asking for feedback, ODE would like to know if you believe these requirements will be difficult to meet.
If school devices cannot meet the specifications,
NAEP will provide devices for testing; however, the preference would be to use school devices.
Requirement |
NAEP |
Oregon State Assessment for comparison |
RAM | 4 or more GB | 2 or more GB |
Screen Size | 11.6 inches | 9.7 inches |

We realize that not all schools participate in NAEP testing. However, some schools may be asked to participate in these 2024-2025 field tests. Please reach out via email to
Beth LaDuca, NAEP State Coordinator, with your feedback. Note that this information was also sent to district IT managers last week.
2023-24 Summer Contacts for Accountability
With the end of the year fast approaching, and in an effort to best serve your district/school during the summer months, we are compiling a list of summer contact information for the individuals who play a key role in working with your accountability data (assessment, collections and validations).
Please complete this
2023-24 Summer Contact Information Google form. If you have multiple staff who have accountability responsibilities, please ask them to complete this form, or feel free to complete the form on their behalf.

must be submitted prior to schools closing for summer vacation. For questions or comments about this form, please contact your
Regional ESD Partner.

2023-24 New School Status Requests due May 1, 2024 (REPEAT)
Oregon Department of Education annually provides schools an opportunity to request that the Accountability Detail Sheets take into account boundary changes due to modifications to attendance areas, restructuring of schools (e.g., consolidation, separation, etc.), or changes to grade configurations. Schools should use the
Boundary Change Calculator for 2023-24 Accountability Reports to request New School status if they experience a significant change in student enrollment between school years.
If you feel that it would be appropriate to request New School status, please visit the
Accountability Details webpage under the “Tools” menu to access 2023-24 Boundary Change Calculator and other pertinent information.
Please submit required materials for New School Status by May 1, 2024. ODE will respond with a decision concerning the request by mid-June.
For questions, please contact
Elyse Bean, Research Analyst.
