Dr. Janet Dunlop has been named deputy superintendent of assessment and accountability at the Oklahoma State Department of Education. In her cabinet-level position, she will oversee Oklahoma’s state testing program and school accountability measures. Dunlop will also supervise the transition of school assessments and accountability under the Every Student Succeeds Act , the new federal education law, and House Bill 3218, which eliminated end-of-instruction exams and marks the end of a culture of excessive testing in Oklahoma public schools.
Since 2010, Dunlop has served as associate superintendent of instructional services at Broken Arrow Public Schools. During her tenure, she facilitated the district’s successful literacy initiative, aligned curriculum for grades PK-12 and oversaw the administration of school site and district-level assessments.
Dunlop says “I am honored by the opportunity to serve our State Superintendent Joy Hofmeister and public schools in Oklahoma. In addition, with hard work, we can provide our students, parents and communities with an accountability system that provides rich and detailed information about school successes and opportunities to support our schools.”
Dunlop holds a doctorate in education with an emphasis in school administration and curriculum leadership, a master’s in educational leadership and bachelor’s degrees in English education and English from Oklahoma State University.
Dunlop is replacing Dr. Kathryn Dunlap, who is retiring. Dunlop’s first day at OSDE will be November 8.
