“Silverton is again at a
turning point of fighting
for its ‘dignity’ and to
maintain Oregon’s re-
spect for Silverton as be-
ing a special community,”
Gene noted. “One imme-
diate issue is the sustain-
ing of significant trees
that have been allowed to
live among us for dec-
ades, growing in stature
and symbolic awe; even
avoiding the lumberman’s
and wood chopper’s axe,
the original economic
foundation of our commu-
nity.”
» Scott Walker, incom-
ing president of the Sil-
verton
Lions
Club,
dropped by to ask for as-
sistance.

memorate the 100th anni-
versary of Lions Interna-
tional, founded in 1917.
The Silverton Lions, in
their seventh decade,
want the community to

“We want people to be
creative,” Scott said.
Among the ideas he
tossed out was converting
a little-used horseshoe pit
into a bocce court.

formation can be sent by

el skills rather than the
ability to memorize facts
or deduce answers from
lists,” Bolin said. “More
importantly, our students
deserve tests that give
them the opportunity to
show what they know and
can do. Smarter Balanced
tests go above and beyond
filling in multiple choice
bubbles and actually
showcase
students’
thoughts and explana-
tions for how they solve
problems.”
To gauge students’
ability to analyze infor-
mation, think critically
and communicate their
knowledge, the system re-
quires students to solve
real-life tasks. Problems
are encountered, howev-
er, when teachers don’t
fully understand the test’s
design or what is required
of the students to success-
fully complete it.
To alleviate teachers’
apprehensions, WestEd, a
non-profit research and
development
agency,
worked with Stanford
Center for Assessment,
Learning and Equity to
develop the Building Edu-
cator Assessment Litera-
cy (BEAL) project. This
series of educator work-
shops was created to im-
prove classroom instruc-

tion by providing teach-
ers with in-depth, hands-
on training that helps
them to better understand
performance assessment
and how it relates to their
teaching.
“We realized we need-
ed to listen to the teachers
and help them focus on
what’s best for their stu-
dents and their learning
experience,” WestEd Sen-
ior Program Associate
Jessica
Arnold
said.
“Through these work-
shops, we have the oppor-
tunity to make sure teach-
ers can make the best of
the new (Common Core)
curriculum.
A recent report pub-
lished by WestEd compar-
ing pre- and post-work-
shop educator surveys
shows a significant in-
crease in the understand-
ing of Common Core and
how the Smarter Bal-
anced assessments con-
nect to student readiness
and classroom teaching.
Teachers noted that the
training helped to clarify
the tests and they became
more comfortable with
how and what Smarter
Balanced tests measure.
“I’m really proud of the
results,” Arnold said.
“This change can be over-
whelming for teachers
and (the BEAL) program
takes the mystery out of
it.”
