Topic At PSU
Educator Meet
Plans for statewide asses
sment of pupil performance in
reading w ill be discussed by
assessment coordinators and
other educators from throughout
Oregon at a meeting November
13 at Portland State University.
The assessment program is
working in cooperation with the
state and federal Right-To-Read
project, which has just begun in
Oregon Both right-to-read and
statewide assessment are high
priorities of the State Board of
Education
Mary Hall, assistant superin
tendant for Planning and Eval
uation, has indicated that this
year's assessment program w ill
be a field test including a small
statewide sampling of fourth
grade students to obtain esti
mates of students’ a bility to
achieve specific outcomes in
reading and to obtain infor
mation on how well the asses
sment materials and procedures
work.
Future part of the assessment
program w ill be a full-scale
sampling of fourth graders and
perhaps other grades to test
achievement in specific high
p riority skills in reading
The 1973-74 program w ill differ
from past programs in assessing
specific reading skills rather
than surveying reading achieve
ment in general
In addition Mrs Hall said,
“ This program is designed to
produce information on progress
towards statewide goals for ele
mentary and seconSary educa
tio n , which are planned for
adoption by the Oregon Board of
Education in January 1974
Participants at the November
13 meeting w ill include members
of a right-to-read subcommittee
appointed to advise the Depar
tment of Education on technical
aspects of reading, as well as
assessment coordinators repre
senting intermediate education
districts and local education
associations in Oregon.
Lake Vernonia
Improvements
On Agenda
As a result of President Thos.
Tomlin contact with the Engin
eering Department of the Na
tional Guard there w ill be im
provements made at Lake Ver
nonia. Tomlin w ill make a list of
projects that w ill improve the
lake and submit them to the
Guard Unit who are pleased to
do Civic projects. City and
School D istrict projects may
also be incorporated into the
overall plan for the National
Guard Engineers' work in Vern
onia
The annual Chamber-Jaycee
dinner has posed a problem for
Chamber Directors for several
years because of lack of dining
facilities and organizations to
prepare the dinner. The cham
ber directors wish to make a
survey immediately as to whet
her chamber members and the
public wish to have the dinner or
not Make comments to Peggy
Brunsman, Louise Hamnett or
Thos Tomlin Also should the
chamber continue with the des
ignation of a Citizen of the Year9
Since so many deserve recogni
tion for community work should
the selection be narrowed to one
was the thought behind the
question.
The Chamber w ill give a
revolving plaque in addition to
the three that w ill be given by
the Lions Club for outstanding
window decoration for the Chris
tmas season The plaque w ill
have space for the winner’s
names for ten years and w ill be
put on display in the City
Library
To make the work load lighter
for the Honor Society the cham
ber w ill make a sizeable dona
tion for the Christmas Candy
Fund for all chamber members
so they need not be contacted
individually
Gordon Smith, who was pres
ent at the Chamber meeting,
offered to donate the candy to be
given to the children who visit
Santa on the Saturdays in Dec

the event w ill be in Quinn’s
