Oregon Statewide Assessment Results Percent of Students 1998 Oregon Statewide Assessment Results Percent of Students Meeting Performance Standards in Reading/Literature and Mathematics Schools in County and District Order Web Page Address: www.ode.state.or.us OREGON DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Office of Assessment and Evaluation 255 Capitol St. NE Salem, Oregon 97310-0203 (503) 378-5585 Ext. 251 FAX: (503) 373-7968 Overview of the Oregon Statewide Assessment Introduction The Oregon Statewide Assessment is different from national, norm-referenced tests used in many districts and states. The Oregon Statewide Assessment is a criterion-referenced assessment based on the Oregon Content Standards. As a result, the types of scores produced from the Oregon Statewide Assessment are somewhat different from those produced by national, norm-referenced tests. The types of scores produced from the Oregon Statewide Assessment are based on an achievement scale widely used in the Northwest. The scale for reading and mathematics, with numbers ranging from about 150 to 300, is similar to scales such as the Scholastic Aptitude Tests (SAT) scale or other “growth” scales. Each point on the scale is an equal distance from the previous point on the scale, so changes up or down can be charted and viewed as comparable from year to year. Interpretation of Results in Relation to Content and Performance Standards The major advantage of the assessment scale is its connection to the Oregon Content and Performance Standards. The recently adopted Performance Standards for the Certificate of Initial Mastery were set by panels of teachers, curriculum specialists and community members who reviewed test items anchored to the achievement scale and determined the score a student would have to receive as evidence of having met challenging academic standards. Assessment scores are reported in specific skill areas, enabling educators to identify aspects of the curriculum needing improvement. Percent of Students Achieving the Performance Standards This report provides information on the percent of students in each school who Met (M) the Performance Standard, Exceeded (E) the standard, or who Did Not Yet Meet (D) the standard. Schools are grouped by grade level (3, 5, 8, or 10) within each county. The school district is also identified. State level data is displayed at the top of each page for comparison purposes. Data is provided for both the reading/literature and mathematics tests, along with the socio-economic status (SES) rank of the school and the number of students tested under regular conditions. Students tested under regular conditions are those who were not absent, exempted (special education or limited English proficient), tested under modified conditions (special education, bilingual assessment, or limited English proficient), or excused by the school for other reasons. A more detailed participation report is provided with the score reports for each school. Oregon Department of Education Reading/Literature, Mathematics Office of Assessment and Evaluation Percent Meeting Standards The multiple choice reading/literature and mathematics performance standards are listed in the table below. MEET STANDARD EXCEED STANDARD Grade 3 201 (Reading) 215 202 (Math) Grade 5 215 231 Grade 8 231 239 Grade 10 239 249 Method of Determining Comparison Groups for the Oregon Statewide Assessment A composite picture of a school’s socioeconomic status (SES) is drawn from available information describing the school’s demographics. Four variables were identified that best predict student achievement: percent of students eligible for free or reduced price lunch, student mobility rate, student attendance rate, and (at grades 8 and 10) level of education of the most educated parent. From this information on all Oregon public schools, an SES index is built using a weighted combination of these four indicators. Schools are then ranked on the SES index. A school’s comparison group consists of the cluster of schools ranked immediately above and below that school’s location on the SES index (10 percent above and 10 percent below the particular school). For schools ranked in the upper or lower 10 percent on the SES index, their comparison group consists of the upper or lower 20 percent of schools.

Dodds Michael Reardon Daniel O'Toole The evolution of the small towns that originated in Oregon's settlement communities remains undocumented in the literature of the state's history for the most part. Those .::: accounts that do exist are often amateurish, and fail to establish the social and economic links between Oregon's frontier towns to the agricultural communities in which they appeared. The purpose of the thesis is to investigate an early settlement community and the small town that grew up in its midst in order to better understand the ideological relationship between farmers and townsmen that helped shape Oregon's small towns.

The period of study begins when the British owned Hudson’s Bay Company began to farm land in and around Fort Vancouver in 1825, and ends in 1861—during the time when agrarian settlement was beginning to expand east of the Cascade Mountains.

And it becomes us humbly to acknowledge our defender…as our protector and preserver, and inflows a continuance of his care and watchfulness over us and wisdom to direct us in the discharge of the duties devolving on us. This country has once been populated by powerful tribes of Indians but it has [passed] the great [disputes] of human events to reduce them to mere shadows of their former greatness; thus removing the chief obstructions to the entrance of civilization and offering a way for the introduction of Christianity where ignorance, superstition, and idolatry have reigned uncontrolled so many ages. There has perhaps been few colonies [located] in North America under the…circumstances in which the present settlers of this territory are placed. We are situated in a portion of country remote from civilized nations among the few remaining savages who are the original proprietors of this soil.

    VOL. XlV., No.3 July, 1923 utbt .a~bington ;!)istorical ~uarttrl!, INRODUCTION OF CATTLE INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST The domestic animals have enabled the European peoples to take and hold economic possession of new lands. Where grass grows and water nms cattle have helped man to live; their leather has clothed his feet; their milk and flesh have furnished food; their sturdy shoulders have drawn his loads. The Oregon country is well adapted to all kinds of livestock and early in its history the future possibilities of the cattle industries were noted. The first cattle in the Pacific Northwest were brought to Nootka Sound during the time that the Spanish Government kept an armed force there to maintain Spanish claims. In 1789, work was begun, but for reasons not known, was discontinued in the late fall, and the expedition withdrew. The Spaniards under the command of Eliza, reoccupied the site in 1790, and constructed a fort and buildings that housed the garrison until the final evacua­ tion in 1795. Cattle were brought, either from Mexico or Cali­ fornia, that are mentioned in more than one description of Nootka during the period of Spanish occupation. They seem to have been black in color, and are so described by Vancouver who arrived at Nootka in the last days of August, 1792. He says: "The poultry, consisting of fowls and turkies, was in excellent order as were the black cattle and the swine". The unknown author of the "New Vancouver Journal" gives more information regarding the livestock at Nootka : "In the evening the Governor [Quadra] sent a couple of fine sheep with a large stock of cabbages, &c.

  • Road to Oregon Written by Dr
    The Road to Oregon Written by Dr. Jim Tompkins, a prominent local historian and the descendant of Oregon Trail immigrants, The Road to Oregon is a good primer on the history of the Oregon Trail. Unit I. The Pioneers: 1800-1840 Who Explored the Oregon Trail? The emigrants of the 1840s were not the first to travel the Oregon Trail. The colorful history of our country makes heroes out of the explorers, mountain men, soldiers, and scientists who opened up the West. In 1540 the Spanish explorer Coronado ventured as far north as present-day Kansas, but the inland routes across the plains remained the sole domain of Native Americans until 1804, when Lewis and Clark skirted the edges on their epic journey of discovery to the Pacific Northwest and Zeb Pike explored the "Great American Desert," as the Great Plains were then known. The Lewis and Clark Expedition had a direct influence on the economy of the West even before the explorers had returned to St. Louis. Private John Colter left the expedition on the way home in 1806 to take up the fur trade business. For the next 20 years the likes of Manuel Lisa, Auguste and Pierre Choteau, William Ashley, James Bridger, Kit Carson, Tom Fitzgerald, and William Sublette roamed the West. These part romantic adventurers, part self-made entrepreneurs, part hermits were called mountain men. By 1829, Jedediah Smith knew more about the West than any other person alive. The Americans became involved in the fur trade in 1810 when John Jacob Astor, at the insistence of his friend Thomas Jefferson, founded the Pacific Fur Company in New York.

PUBLISHERS PORTLAND, OREGON REPRINTED, 1975 EMERALD VALLEY CRAFTSMEN COTTAGE GROVE, OREGON ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS MANY VOLUMES have been written on the history of the Oregon Country. The founding of the provisional government in 1843 has been regarded as the most sig- nificant event in the development of the Pacific North- west, but the individuals who conceived and carried out that great project have too long been ignored, with the result that the memory of their deeds is fast fading away. The author, as historian of Multnomah Chapter in Portland of the Daughters of the American Revolution under the regency of Mrs. John Y. Richardson began writing the lives of these founders of the provisional government, devoting three years to research, studying original sources and histories and holding many inter- views with pioneers and descendants, that a knowledge of the lives of these patriotic and far-sighted men might be preserved for all time.
