2. Presentation Objectives:
Review IAB Administration Protocol
Ensure a “Growth Mindset” message is delivered to our students
Review Data Team Expectations afterwards (individual student goals)
View an example of an IAB in ELA & Math
Determine how you Will Reflect with Students to set Goals for the Summative Assessment

4. Benefits of Taking the IAB’s
Can be used throughout the school year in a manner more consistent with the sequence of curricula
Practice with actual test format and protocol (students and teachers)
Can be given off level *
Results will be reported in the Smarter Balanced reporting system as Below Standard, At/Near Standard, and Above Standard
Non secure tests, can be used as an instructional tool
Chance to set goals with students and develop a growth mindset
* We will assess all students at their grade level!
