17. Do middle school, 8th grade, science teachers need to include an OAKS component in their SMART Goals? If yes, can the OAKS data be disaggregated into the subject areas taught?

A: Yes, as science is tested in the 8^th grade, teachers teaching 8^th grade science would need to use OAKS as one of their multiple measures. A teacher may set goals using disaggregated data with a focus on the area they teach and does not have to include subject areas they don’t teach.
