The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
•Promote policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world
•Provide a forum in which governments can work together to share
experiences and seek solutions to common problems
•Work with governments to understand what drives economic, social and environmental change
•Analyze and compare data to predict future trends
•Set international standards on a range of things, from agriculture and tax to
the safety of chemicals4
•Objective: Our analyses and recommendations are independent and evidence-based
•Open: We encourage debate and a shared understanding of critical global issues
•Bold: We dare to challenge conventional wisdom starting with
our own
•Pioneering: We identify and address emerging and long term challenges
•Ethical: Our credibility is built on trust, integrity and transparency
OECD’s Core Values

OECD’s Programme for International Student
Assessment (PISA)
• Evaluates the quality, equity and efficiency of school systems in more than 70 countries
• Monitors outcomes of education systems regularly within an internationally agreed framework
• Provides a basis for global collaboration in defining and implementing education policies
6
PISA Purpose
•Benchmarking in reading, math and science•Results and comparative analysis•Policy analysis
It is not:•Mandated or standardized•Not formative•Not aligned to common core or specific curricular standards

Why did FCPS participate in the PISA Pilot for Schools?
• In our global economy, the measurement of educational success can no longer be based on VA or national standards alone
• Students are expected to apply knowledge and skills in new situations and to interpret and infer meaning from complex information
• Benchmarking against the best in the world should be part of our culture in FCPS 8
PISA for Schools Pilot• 125 Schools in Canada, UK and US• 48 School Districts• FCPS had 10 schools participate• 6 magnets, 6 charters and 1 private
school included• 7,400 students tested during May
and June 2012• 75 students per school targeted• Reading, Math, and Science are
assessed• Students also answered a
questionnaire about classroom management and relationships with teachers 9
PISA for Schools Pilot
• Students were selected by the testing company, based on their birthday
• Students had ~ 2 hours to complete the PISA test for schools, including the questionnaire
• Students had to be able to take a paper and pencil test
10
• Lake Chad Questions and Discussion• Other Sample PISA Questions 11
PISA’s Measure of SES
The PISA index of social, cultural and economic status is based on information provided by students about their parents’ education, occupations and wealth (i.e., internet, computers, cars, and bathrooms)
Noted on slides as: PISA index of socio-economic background (ESCS)

Levels Examples of 4C’s in each level
6• Students can assimilate information from unfamiliar content
area presented in atypical formats
5• Students can find information in unfamiliar texts and infer
which information is relevant
4• Students can locate embedded information and construct
meaning from linguistic nuances
3• Students can integrate several parts of the text to identify a
main idea
2• Students can compare and contrast between texts and outside
knowledge
1• Student can locate pieces of information that is explicitly
stated
Reading
17
Levels Examples of 4C’s in each level
6• Students can conceptualize, generalize and utilize information
based on their investigations and modeling of complex problems
5• Students can reflect on their problem solving actions and
communicate their interpretations and reasoning
4• Students can select and integrate different representations,
including symbolic ones, linking them directly to the real-world.
3• Students can write short communications reporting their
interpretations, results and reasoning
2• Students can extract relevant information from a single source
1• Student can perform actions that are obvious
