Smarter Balanced Assessments Year 5: Implementation Tony Alpert Smarter Balanced Chief of Staff and Chief Operating Officer University of California, Los Angeles

23 member states and territories 20 Governing States, 2 Advisory States, 1 Affiliate Member Washington is fiscal agent for USED grant A State-Led Consortium

Goals Every student gets the opportunity to succeed in the 21 st century Every student gets the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills Every teacher gets the tools and resources they need to help their students. Every teacher gets the opportunity to help other teachers succeed Every student gets tools they need to have a fair test

A Balanced Assessment System Teachers and schools have information and tools they need to improve teaching and learning Interim assessments Flexible, open, used for actionable feedback Summative assessments Benchmarked to college and career readiness Teacher resources for formative assessment practices to improve instruction

Look How Far We’ve Come… Cognitive Labs Apr – Aug 2012 Small Scale Trials Mar – Nov 2012 Pilot Testing Feb – May 2013 Field Test Mar – June 2014 Achievement Level Setting and Implementation ✔ ✔ ✔ Early Q.C. of items & software; no student results Full system run-through; ✔

Continuity and Change What Stays the Same?What Changes? PurposeTheory of ActionValidate the Theory of Action Governance State Members govern Policies Executive Committee makes logistical decisions Services and support provided by UCLA USED regulations do not define the Consortium or its processes Finances and Infrastructure State Members govern Finances (Revenue and Expenditures) Staff will be located across the country UCLA holds the Consortium Copyrights on behalf of States UCLA becomes the fiscal agent of the Consortium Assessment Operations Each state controls their data SB provides central services, items and the digital library Each state procures their own service provider and fits SB into their local system This year it counts

CA’s Contribution Is Vital Testing Over 3 million students online with only a one year transition from paper is staggering. Other states can see it is possible. UCLA as the new home will provide expertise, infrastructure and stability to help ensure the Consortium is successful CRESST will provide state of the art psychometric services, validity research, and skunkworks to ensure the system is sound and improves

CA’s Contribution Is Vital The California Higher Education System Continues its leadership in connecting Higher Education and K-12 “The four branches of California's public and private higher education establishment have proclaimed their support of the Common Core State Standards and Smarter Balanced tests, saying that they are adjusting admission requirements and teacher-preparation programs to line up with the new expectations.” Education Week 9/4/14

CA’s Contribution Is Vital Will have a significant role in the in-person and online Achievement Level Setting (Over 2,000!)

Reminders Students seem to feel more comfortable during the test when adults are comfortable giving the test. Make sure the adults know each adult’s role and responsibility. Administer the practice or training test to students. It helps the students and the adults. Make sure the data are correct before students start their test. It’s easier that way is another “first year”. There are new people and new systems. We’ll work together to fix the problems.

Thank you!
