Most folks did this because of the now defunct EOI law. Since there are no longer EOIs nor a need for alternate assessments, the need for Aspire may have changed for your district. It just depends on your purpose for using Aspire. The Oklahoma State Regents have no dealings with and very limited knowledge of Aspire. PreACT is not Aspire. PreACT is essentially an enhanced version of PLAN. Questions regarding Aspire should be directed to: Andrew Jopling: andrew.jopling at actaspire.org Hope this clears some things up. Thanks Matt Higdon Director for Student Preparation Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education 405.225.9156 mhigdon at osrhe.edu www.okhighered.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
