A recent report showed positive gains across Oklahoma in state testing, as we continue to climb out of the pandemic. Deputy Superintendent of Assessment, Accountability, Data Systems, and Research at the State Department of Education, Dr. Bryan Koerner, breaks down the numbers and the positive outcomes from the perseverance and hard work of the state's students and educators. Parents and school leaders can access assessment guidance, tools, and support resources for understanding these results at sde.ok.gov/assessment-guidance.

Ivy Riggs also returns to provide an update on the legislative special sessions, the beginning of interim studies (including community schools), and why the recent polling for governor and state superintendent is both hopeful and motivation to get more involved.
