The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce's November bulletin reports that scoring guides for Spring 2026 end-of-course assessment Item Release tests have been posted to the Item Release Library in the Ohio's State Tests Portal. The library also holds answer keys, scoring guides, and learning standards for Item Release tests across subjects, according to the bulletin.
The bulletin announces two SAS Training Team virtual webinars on EVAAS reports. One is for educators new to EVAAS; the other targets more experienced users. The sessions are described as covering Value-Added, Diagnostic, Teacher and Student reports, plus new features and resources.
It also lists resources on academic intervention services in reading and math, special education accountability, and fact books on Indicators 9 and 10 disproportionate representation, significant disproportionality in identification, and Indicator 14 postschool outcomes.
Five professional learning events are listed for November: an accountability webinar on the traditional early literacy component on Nov. 9 from 1 to 3 p.m.; a special education accountability webinar on Indicators 1 and 2 on Nov. 13 from 9 to 11 a.m.; an attendance webinar on engaging students on Nov. 16 from noon to 1 p.m.; an integrated MTSS data-based decision-making session on Nov. 17 from 1 to 2 p.m.; and an OEDPN career pathway support network introduction on Nov. 20 from 9 to 10:30 a.m.
The bulletin says accommodation requests for disability access should go to the ADA coordinator by email or phone at least three business days before an event. Requests made within 72 hours may not be accommodated, though the department says it will try.
