TOM TORLAKSON State Superintendent of Public Instruction Overview of Interim Assessments Outcomes –Purpose –Differences between: Interim Comprehensive Assessments Interim Assessment Blocks –Uses –Role within Smarter Balanced Assessments 2

TOM TORLAKSON State Superintendent of Public Instruction A Balanced Assessment System Common Core State Standards specify K-12 expectations for college and career readiness Common Core State Standards specify K-12 expectations for college and career readiness All students leave high school college and career ready 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 Educator resources for formative assessment practices to improve instruction 3

TOM TORLAKSON State Superintendent of Public Instruction Interim Assessments The Smarter Balanced Interim Assessments comprise interim comprehensive assessments (ICAs) and interim assessment blocks (IABs) ICAs and IABs are alike in the following ways: –The quality criteria used for the ICA and IAB items are the same as those used for the summative assessment. –ICAs and IABs use the same universal tools, designated supports, and accommodations. –They will be available to all California teachers January 2015 –ICA and IAB use is optional. 4

TOM TORLAKSON State Superintendent of Public Instruction Interim Comprehensive Assessments ICAs mirror the summative assessment: Use the same blueprints as the summative. Assess the same range of standards. Have the same item types and formats. Include performance tasks. Require the same amount of administration time. Provide information regarding student readiness for the end-of-year summative assessment 5

TOM TORLAKSON State Superintendent of Public Instruction ICAs (continued) Examples of the use of ICAs include: –Beginning of the year a student from another state is given the previous year’s ICA. –Mid-year a teacher gives an ICA to gauge how students might perform on the summative assessment. 6

TOM TORLAKSON State Superintendent of Public Instruction Interim Assessment Blocks IABs assess fewer sets of skills and: Use the same targets, by grade level, as the summative blueprints. Consist of short, focused sets of items. Provide information about a student’s strengths and needs in relation to the standards. Offer varied blocks by grade level and subject area. 7

TOM TORLAKSON State Superintendent of Public Instruction IABs (continued) 8

TOM TORLAKSON State Superintendent of Public Instruction IABs (continued) Examples of use of the IABs include: –A teacher uses a block focused on argumentative writing to determine the degree of a student’s understanding before or after instruction. –A team of teachers uses a block to become informed about how a group of students are performing in geometry. 9

TOM TORLAKSON State Superintendent of Public Instruction Rollout of ICAs and IABs Initial item pool will be limited in depth. Initial ICAs and IABs will be in a fixed format As the item pool grows, ICAs and IABs will become available as computer-adaptive tests (CATs). 10

TOM TORLAKSON State Superintendent of Public Instruction Administration of ICAs and IABs ICAs and IABs will only be administered online. The same teacher registration process as the summative assessment will be used. ICA and IAB administration will use the same test delivery interface as the summative assessment. Testing intervals are determined locally. There are no restrictions on the number of times ICAs and IABs may be administered. The items are not secure. 11

TOM TORLAKSON State Superintendent of Public Instruction Grades Supported by Smarter Balanced Interim Assessments Interim assessments are available for grades 3 through 8 and for high school; however, administration is not constrained by grade level: –The grade 5 ICAs/IABs, for example, can be administered to grades above or below grade 5 –High school IABs, because they test content appropriate across grade levels, could be given in grades 9, 10, 11, and/or

TOM TORLAKSON State Superintendent of Public Instruction Scoring and Results of the Smarter Balanced Interim Assessments Items are scored by the Smarter Balanced test delivery engine. Scoring of human-scored constructed- response items and performance tasks is a local responsibility. Score reports are generated once the constructed-response item scores and performance task scores are input into the system. 13

TOM TORLAKSON State Superintendent of Public Instruction Scoring and Results of the Smarter Balanced Interim Assessments The ICAs and the IABs provide individual student results that teachers can examine in relation to the standards in order to adjust instruction. –ICA: Overall scale score and Score of “Below” “At/Near” or “Above” Standard for each Claim –IAB: Score of “Below” “At/Near” or “Above” Standard for each Block 14

TOM TORLAKSON State Superintendent of Public Instruction Data Storage Interim assessments results are maintained separately from the summative assessment results. 15

TOM TORLAKSON State Superintendent of Public Instruction Use of Interim Assessment Scores Interim assessment results are reported locally, not to the state. Interim assessment results are not intended to be used for state and federal accountability. Results may be exported from the test management system and imported into the local student data management system 16

TOM TORLAKSON State Superintendent of Public Instruction A Balanced Assessment System Common Core State Standards specify K-12 expectations for college and career readiness Common Core State Standards specify K-12 expectations for college and career readiness All students leave high school college and career ready 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 Educator resources for formative assessment practices to improve instruction

TOM TORLAKSON State Superintendent of Public Instruction Definition of the Formative Assessment Process Formative assessment is a deliberate process used by teachers and students during instruction that provides actionable feedback that is used to adjust ongoing teaching and learning strategies to improve students’ attainment of curricular learning targets/goals. It is also called “assessment for learning.” 20

TOM TORLAKSON State Superintendent of Public Instruction Four Attributes of the Formative Assessment Process Clarify intended learning Elicit evidence Act on evidence Interpret evidence 21

TOM TORLAKSON State Superintendent of Public Instruction Digital Library Resources Sources: State Network of Educators (SNE) developed Commissioned modules Types: Instructional Professional learning Combination 22

TOM TORLAKSON State Superintendent of Public Instruction What the Digital Library Is Not … A bank of assessment items A learning management system in which educators can register for training or receive credit by completing specific online courses A library for general public (will require registration and login ) A site to freely post resources 23

TOM TORLAKSON State Superintendent of Public Instruction 60–150 members per state Comprised of K–12 educators and higher–education faculty Each network has diverse expertise in: Common Core State Standards (CCSS) mathematics and English–language arts, science, social science, general education, gifted and talented, English learners, and students with disabilities. Composition Participate in 5 trainings. Help populate the Digital Library in advance of the June 2014 preview. Submit and review resources using the Quality Criteria. Use resources and collaboration tools for members’ own professional learning and instruction. Provide feedback on the resources in the library, review and posting process, Quality Criteria, and usability of software. Expectations State Network of Educators 24
