Performance Tasks
Assessment system that balances summative, interim, and formative components for ELA and mathematics:
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
Interim Assessment (Computer Adaptive)
Optional comprehensive and content-cluster assessment
Learning progressions
Available for administration throughout the year
Formative Processes and Tools
Optional resources for improving instructional learning
Assessment literacy
Scope, sequence, number and timing of interim assessments locally determined
Re-take option
*Time windows may be adjusted based on results from the research agenda and final implementation decisions.

23. What’s Happening This Year, 2013-14?23
Exit exams remain the same (HSPE, EOC)
CAA options remain the same
Class of 2013 had some relaxation of Collection of Evidence rules that had been newly implemented – these will not continue (COE limited to one submission per content area throughout HS, and requires two attempts on general assessment before submitting)
Schools will be recruited for Smarter Balanced field test
Trying to avoid students having to take current test AND field test
Should know by end of August how double testing can be avoided
