3 INTRODUTION This report presents a graphic display of the findings from WestEd s independent study of the alignment among Oregon s 2001 science benchmark/eligible content standards (grades Kindergarten High School) and the state s 2009 science core/content standards (grades Kindergarten High School). Specifically, this crosswalk is intended to display the following information: The 2009 core/content standards to which the 2001 benchmark/eligible content standards align. The grade level of each 2009 core/content standard to which a 2001 benchmark/eligible content standard was found to align. A level of relationship rating for each standard-to-standard alignment identified, using the criteria described below. The 2001 benchmark/eligible content standards found not to align to any 2009 core/content standard (if any). A rating for the extent to which each 2001 benchmark/eligible content standard was fully represented and/or addressed in the 2009 core/content standards. The rosswalk Alignment rocess For this study, alignment refers to a match between a 2001 science benchmark/eligible content standard and a 2009 science core/content standard. Following a systematic review process, described below, each 2001 benchmark/eligible content standard was compared to each 2009 core/content standard, and all identified matches (alignments) were recorded and mapped onto the crosswalk. A 2001 benchmark/eligible content standard was judged to align with a 2009 core/content standard if one or more of the criteria were met: The 2001 standard at least partially reflects the concepts and skills embodied in the 2009 standard. The 2001 standard at least partially demonstrates consistency with the central idea and/or intended content complexity of the 2009 standard. The 2001 standard at least partially addresses the intended content of the 2009 standard at a fundamental level. Each 2001 benchmark/eligible content standard could align with multiple 2009 standards, both at the target grade ( on grade level alignments) and at other grades ( off grade level alignments). WestEd analysts recorded as many alignments as were deemed useful for establishing the extent to which the 2001 standard was fully represented in the 2009 standards. Using WestEd s alignment criteria and protocol, analysts then evaluated the level of each relationship between a 2001 benchmark/eligible content standard and a 2009 core/content standard. WestEd analysts rated the degree of each alignment according to the following working definitions: Oregon Science Standards rosswalk/wested 1

4 omplete Relationship: The 2001 standard describes a fundamental skill or concept as explicitly stated in a 2009 standard or addresses a central idea of the 2009 standard. The 2001 standard did not need to address all the skills included in the 2009 standard to be assigned a rating of complete. artial Relationship: The 2001 standard may address a 2009 standard in a superficial way or may cover targeted skills at a lower complexity level than that intended in the 2009 standard. If the 2001 standard goes beyond the 2009 standard, (e.g., the 2001 standard addresses all the skills included in the 2009 standard and more or is more complex or contains additional elements not included in the 2009 standard) the relationship is assigned a rating of partial. No Relationship: The 2001 standard does not address the content of any 2009 standard. If there were no 2001 benchmark/eligible content standards associated with a 2001 ommon urricular Goal (G), WestEd analysts identified the 2009 content standard(s) related to the 2001 G. These are provided in the crosswalk as a reference to the State. However, in order to maintain consistency of the comparisons and unit of analysis throughout the crosswalk, strength of relationship and overall map was not determined for these Gs with no benchmark/eligible content standards. During the course of the alignment processs, analysts developed decision rules, if necessary, to address guidelines for decision-making related to the interpretation or operational definition of a standard, construct, piece of content, or skill. Doing so helped ensure the accurate and consistent application of alignment criteria within and across grades. reliminary Discussions with the ODE In keeping with practice developed during prior Oregon alignment studies, WestEd analysts provided the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) with a completed preliminary crosswalk for one grade. This discussion provided the ODE with an opportunity to explain their interpretation of the intent of the standards and to ask questions about the protocol. Because this was an independent review of the nature and degree of alignment among the state s 2001 and 2009 standards, input from the ODE collected during this practice session was intended to inform WestEd analysts decision-making and not to influence the final ratings or other study outcomes. 1 1 These initial discussions with ODE specialists did not influence the objectivity of WestEd s independent analyses. Rather, these discussions help ensure that the ODE s intentions are clearly understood and that implications/recommendations based on the findings of WestEd s analyses are accurate and meaningful to state stakeholders.

5 ROSSWALK LEGEND: A GUIDE TO INTERRETATION In the primary crosswalk document (rosswalk A), each 2001 standard is listed by code and text, followed by the 2009 standard(s), if any, to which it was found to align. The 2009 standards are listed by code and text in order as they appear in Oregon s 2009 Science K High School standards. The 2001 standard may be found to align to a 2009 standard either on- or off-grade level. To distinguish on- and off-grade alignments, the codes are highlighted: codes highlighted in green represent 2009 standards that appear in a grade level below that of the 2001 standard; codes highlighted in yellow represent 2009 standards that appear in a grade level above that of the 2001 standard; codes that are not highlighted indicate 2009 standards that appear in the same grade level as the 2001 standard. An example from grade 5 is provided in Table 1 below. Table 1. rosswalk A, Example A from Benchmark 2 (Grades4 5) ontent Standard S.05.S.01 Identify substances as they exist in different states of matter. SR ontent Standard Rating Map? ompare and contrast the properties of states of matter. Describe physical changes in matter and explain how they occur Explain how the motion and spacing of particles determines states of matter. In the example above, the 2001 benchmark/eligible content standard S.05.S.01 was aligned to three 2009 content standards: a grade 3 standard, 3.1.1, highlighted in green to indicate a grade level lower than the 2001 standard; a grade 8 standard, 8.1.3, highlighted in yellow to indicate a grade level above the 2001 standard; and a grade 4 standard, 4.2.1, which is not highlighted as it is from the same grade span as the 2001 standard. Had no match to any 2009 standard been identified, the 2009 content standard would be blank. The code in the column labeled Rating indicates the level of the alignment of the 2001 standard to the 2009 standard. Ratings were assigned using the criteria described on pages 2 3, and were abbreviated in the rosswalk as (omplete: 2001 standard describes a fundamental skill or concept as explicitly stated in a 2009 standard or addresses a central idea of the 2009 standard; does not need to address all the skills included in the 2009 standard); and (artial: 2001 standard may address a 2009 standard in a superficial way or may cover targeted skills at a lower complexity level than intended in the 2009 standard). In the example above, benchmark/eligible content standard S.05.S.01 was found to align completely () to standard 3.1.1, because identifying substances as they exist in different states of matter is considered a match to part of standard 3.1.1: compare and contrast the properties of states of matter Benchmark/eligible content standard Oregon Science Standards rosswalk/wested 3

6 S.05.S.01 was found to align only partially () to because it does not directly involve explaining motion and spacing of particles described in standard 8.1.3, but does involve determining different states of matter. The column labeled Map? provides a rating of the extent to which the 2001 benchmark/eligible content standard is considered fully represented in the set of 2009 core/content standards: a rating of es () indicates that the 2001 standard is fully represented in the 2009 standards; a rating of es with Reservations (wr) is used to indicate that a substantial part of the 2001 standard is covered in the 2009 standards, but an important part of the 2001 standard may not be addressed explicitly 2 ; a rating of No (N) indicates that the 2001 standard is not fully represented in the 2009 standards, either because the 2001 standard was not aligned to any 2009 standard or because the standard(s) to which it was found to align was considered insufficient to show full representation. An example from Grade 5 is provided in Table 2 below.

The wr rating assigned above indicates that the standard S.03.S.04 is likely covered and is accompanied by this footnote: 1 - S.03.S.04 Identify common types and uses of energy. Energy is included in the new standards but the use of energy is not specifically mentioned. A second crosswalk document (rosswalk B) provides a reverse view of the data in rosswalk A. That is, each 2009 core/content standard is listed by code and text, followed by all 2001 benchmark/eligible content standards found to align to that 2009 standard. On- and off-grade alignments are displayed in separate columns. An example from Grade 1 is provided in Table 3. 2 A footnote accompanies every wr rating to describe how the 2001 standard may be fully represented based on what may be included in the curriculum.
