In Year 1, Oregon established effective working relationships between public school and higher education representatives in the state. The state already had its PASS (Proficiency-based Admissions Standards System) program in place and was working to align K-16 education. Oregon built on this, using its funding to develop a framework that integrates accelerated-learning opportunities into this innovative system, as well as increasing AP/IB programs across the state. In Year 2, Oregon received $20,000 for test fee reimbursement to meet the needs of low-income students; in addition, the state targeted small, isolated schools with professional development activities and vertical team development. Oregon used WCALO grant funds in Year 3 to conduct additional work on teacher development by designing an assessment framework that supports the incorporation of AP and IB assessment results with K-12 and higher education proficiency systems (CIM, CAM, and PASS).
