Abstract

Behavioral Research and Teaching (BRT) at the University of Oregon conducted the current consequential validity survey for the Oregon Department of Education (ODE). The purpose was to determine Oregon educator perceptions of the impact that implementation of the Oregon Extended Assessment (ORExt) program has upon the field in the areas of instruction and student opportunity for students with significant cognitive disabilities (SWSCD). BRT collected the information for continuous improvement efforts related to the ORExt. This is the fourth year collecting such information, with participants responding to a range of quantitative and qualitative survey prompts. All participants were Qualified Assessors (QAs) and Qualified Trainers (QTs) in Oregon, and were assured of strict confidentiality with aggregated results reported here to protect confidentiality.
