Smarter Balanced Assessment System March 11, 2013

SBAC Member States

Key Features of SBAC System Summative and Interim (formative) assessment practices and tools Variety of item types - Selected Response - Constructed Response - Extended Response - Performance Tasks Technology - Adaptive testing - More powerful reporting - Digital library of resources and tools for educators

Computer Adaptive Testing Based on a students responses to test questions, the system will adjust the difficulty of questions throughout the assessment For example, a student who answers a question correctly will receive a more challenging item as the next question, while an incorrect answer will cause the system to select an easier item as the next question

Benefits of Adaptive Testing Faster results Shorter test length Increased precision Tailored to student ability Greater security Mature technology

Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) Basics Goal is to develop a set of comprehensive and innovative assessments for grades 3-8 and 11 in English language arts and mathematics aligned to the Common Core State Standards Students leave high school prepared for postsecondary success in college or a career through increased student learning and improved teaching The assessments shall be operational across SBAC states in the school year (paper or electronic) Required technology component

SBAC Basics (Cont.) Responds to current federal assessment and accountability requirements – Reading/language arts in grades 3–8 and at least once in grades 10–12 – Mathematics in grades 3–8 and at least once in grades 10–12

Assessment Requirements for Comprehensive Systems Build upon shared standards for college-and career-readiness; Measure individual growth as well as proficiency; Measure the extent to which each student is on track, at each grade level tested, toward college or career readiness by the time of high school completion; and

Assessment Requirements for Comprehensive Systems (Cont.) Provide information that is useful in informing: – Teaching, learning, and program improvement; – Determinations of school effectiveness; and – Determinations of individual student college and career readiness, such as determinations made for high school exit decisions, college course placement to credit-bearing classes, or college entrance

SBAC Assessment System Components Summative Assessment (Computer Adaptive) Mandatory comprehensive assessment in grades 3–8 and 11 (testing window within the last 12 weeks of the instructional year) that supports accountability and measures growth Selected response, short constructed response, extended constructed response, technology enhanced, and performance tasks

Assessment System Components (Cont.) Interim Assessment (Computer Adaptive) Optional comprehensive and content-cluster assessment Based on learning progressions Available for administration throughout the year Selected response, short constructed response, extended constructed response, technology enhanced, and performance tasks Formative Processes and Tools Optional resources for improving instructional learning Assessment of literacy

Sixteen Areas to Consider 1. Aligning assessments to standards 2. Implementing optional common assessments developed by state collaborative (district pays) 3. Conform to ESEA reauthorization 4. Measurement of achievement at a point in time and over time for groups and subgroups of pupils and for individual pupils 5. Allow for comparison from one year to the next as a reflection of growth over time 6. Valid, reliable and fair for all students including English learners (EL) and students with disabilities

Sixteen Areas to Consider (cont.) 7. Assessment of ELs using primary language assessments 8. Ensure no bias with respect to race, ethnicity, culture, religion, gender, or sexual orientation 9. Incorporate a variety of item types including open-ended and performance-based tasks 10. Generate multiple measures of pupil achievement, which, when combined with other measures, can be used to determine the effectiveness of instruction and the extent of learning 11. Assess science and history-social science in all grade levels at or above grade 4

Sixteen Areas to Consider (cont.) 12. Assess understanding and ability to use technology necessary for success in the 21 st century classroom and workplace 13. Formative assessments that provide timely feedback for purposes of continually adjusting instruction to improve learning 14. Use test administration and scoring technologies that will allow the return of test results to parents and teachers as soon as is possible 15. Minimize testing time 16. Options for diagnostic assessments for pupils in grade 2

Your Reaction……. After examining the sample test, what are you thinking? How are students going to respond to the intent of the common core? What has to change? What do we have within the walls of our schools that can be used to transition towards the Common Core and Smarter Balanced?

Our thoughts….. Our most important resource is you our teachers, instructional assistants, librarians, psychologists, media clerks, THINK staff, administrative team, …. Our potential is limitless. There is no challenge that our teachers, instructional assistants, librarians, psychologists, media clerks, THINK staff, administrative team, …. cannot proactively resolve.

Lunch Lunch is for one hour (12:15-1:15). Please be back in the cafetorium at 1:15. Thank you for your professionalism, participation and attention.
