3. News from DESE & SBAC  The company providing the grades 3-8 tests is DRC (an affiliate of CTB), and the test will be aligned to Smarter Balanced.  The new test will look different than the sample/field tests from last year.  Reference DESE website for testing information (DO NOT go directly to Smarter Balanced website)

4. News from DESE & SBAC  The new MAP test will be practiced on 6 different platforms to make sure they all work. (Mac, PC, iPad, etc.)  The same test "platform format" will be used for ELA, Math, and Science grades 3-8  DRC will also provide the new ACCESS test for ELL next year.  Online supports (such as audio reading) will be available at certain grades.  Only students with IEP/ELL/504 accommodations should use some support features. These may invalidate scores for other students.

15. Number of Items

16. Item and Response Types  Selected Response  Constructed Response  Performance Tasks  Response type examples  Multiple Correct Response  Graphing  Drag and Drop

17. Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT)  Provides more accurate scores for all students across the full range of the achievement continuum  Individually tailored set of questions to each student and can quickly identify which skills students have mastered

18. Assessment Claims Broad evidence-based statements about what college and career ready students know and can do as demonstrated by their performance on the assessment. ELA Claims

19. Each Claim is Broken into Assessment Targets  Performance expectations that will be assessed and reported on as evidence supporting each claim  Identifies the kinds of evidence that would be sufficient to support the claims.

20. MLS Standards  Define the knowledge and skills students need in each grade and course.  CCSS (ELA and Math)  GLE (Science, Social Studies, World Languages, Fine Arts, health/PE) CCSS + GLE = New MLS
