Remember, its less than 30 instructional days until Thanksgiving! And less than 45 instructional days until winter break! The Fall Regional EPAS Workshops are complete. We logged almost 2000 miles and spoke with nearly 600 educators for these eight events. It was good to share the time and our mutual devotion to Oklahoma's young people with so many of you. Our ACT representative, Glen Gullikson, shared information about ACT's new online newsletter for educators called "News You Can Use". The newsletter will include short and timely articles with permission from ACT to reproduce them for students and their families. You can subscribe at: . The testing window for EXPLORE, PLAN and Practice ACT closes on November 1 and is more than half gone. Be sure to mail your student answer sheets as soon as possible after testing. Too often we have found answer sheets sitting long after testing is completed . Please don't let yours be one of those we have to track down. We are available to work with administrators, counselors and teachers in understanding and using assessment results to improve student learning. If you have questions or would like technical assistance or professional development relative to OK EPAS, EXPLORE/PLAN/ACT, Curriculum Alignment, etc., please contact one of the Field Coordinators: * North of I-40 - Daniel Craig (dcraig@osrhe.edu ) 405-306-1707 or 405-282-8259 * South of I-40 - Johnny Morrow (jmorrow@osrhe.edu ) 405-306-1706 or 580-482-6240 I am also available to assist you.
