Create / Edit Sessions
Oaks Online
– The list of available tests
automatically displays upon logging
in and can remain on screen while
monitoring students
– Simply select the tests for the
session and click [Start Session]
• What does this mean for test administration?
– TAs no longer need to manage multiple test sessions across multiple days
– Test sessions automatically expire upon TA logout
• Create one test session for students testing during a specific time
• Sessions cannot be resumed (A new Session ID is generated for each
session)
• Test opportunities still do not expire until the end of the 45-calendar day
period from which students first started the opportunity. Students may
resume a paused test in any new test session that includes the applicable
test subject and grade.
• Example: TA creates a test session for students on Tuesday. To resume
testing on Wednesday, the TA will create another test session for students to
resume testing.

Promising Practices

district exposes students to the online test
environment using the practice test site.
• The district uses the practice test to
identify students who may need
accommodations to fully access the online
test.
• The district restricts students who should
not use the system from accessing the
online test.

Overview

• An enhanced version of the old Performance Reports
• Available through the OAKS Portal
(http:www.oaks.k12.or.us)
Purpose:
• To allow districts and school staff and teachers to identify
strengths and weaknesses and improve teaching and learning
by providing:
– Aggregate performance data for their district or school
– Aggregate performance data for teachers or classes
– Scores for individual students in their district or school
– The ability to print student reports to distribute to
families
– The ability to view performance trends
– The ability to create and view reports for custom rosters
– Aggregate and student level performance data on strands
– Aggregate level performance data on content standards
Performance Reports
What’s the Same?
• Data Provided Previously is Still
Available
• System Requirements around Browsers
and Operating Systems
Performance Reports
What’s Changed?
• New look and feel
• New enhanced navigation
−What can I do with this data?
• New landing page
−Provides data across grades and subjects
• Dashboard data integrated with performance
information
• New content standard report
• Trend analysis available at the strand level (in
addition to subject)
• Enhanced help features
Performance Reports: Logging On
Upon logging on, users will see a snapshot of the performance and
testing progress of their district or school across all grades and
subjects.
By clicking on the percentage of students proficient for a particular
test, they will be able to access more information for that test.
This replaces the “selection tree” in the old system which asked
users to select grade and subject but did not provide any data.
Performance Reports: Subject Performance
Users will see the same data that were available in the old performance
reports (Average Scale Score at This Time Last Year, Count, etc. in
addition to what is shown)
District users will see performance data for the district and its schools;
school users will see data for a school and each teacher; etc.
The distribution of students across performance levels will be shown
graphically to allow easier comparison between groups
Users will be able to view the data for subgroups by choosing an option
from the “Breakdown By” dropdown
Performance Reports: Navigation
Users will be able to explore the data in various ways to answer questions
they have of the performance reports and identify strengths and
weaknesses
This icon
will indicate that data can be further explored
When users click the
icon, they will see a control panel that will let
them select whether they want to see more or less group detail, more or
less content detail, or if they want to see a trend for a particular piece of
data
Performance Reports:
Navigation (cont)
By choosing more or less group detail, users will be able to see
data for schools, individual personnel, classes, or individual
students.
The buttons on the control panel will update to identify the
data the user will be accessing.
This will help users answer “who” questions. For example:
Who is struggling in algebra?
This is similar to the “drill down” feature of the old site.
Performance Reports:
Navigation (cont)
By choosing more or less content detail, users will be
able to navigate between performance information at the
subject, strand, and content standard level.
This will help users answer “What” questions. For
example: What areas of Reading are my school’s
strengths?
Performance Reports:
Navigation (cont)
By choosing “Trend” or “Current” users will be able to
choose whether they want information on the current year
performance of a student, group of students, school or
district or if they want a historical trend of that
performance.
This will help users answer “When” questions. For
example, Has this group of students struggled in science in
the past?
Performance Reports:
Data and Tools
The Performance Reports will continue to provide data
and tools provided by the old Performance Reports.
Users will be able to use the navigation described
earlier to access these data and tools.

• Ability to create custom rosters
• Ability to view all aggregated data for custom
rosters
