Smarter Balanced Assessment Policy Framework Not Yet Content-Ready - Substantial Support Needed K-12 & higher education may offer interventions Level 1 Not Yet Content-Ready – Support Needed Transition courses or other supports for Grade 12, retesting option for states Level 2 Conditionally Content-Ready/Exempt from Developmental In each state, K-12 and higher ed must jointly develop Grade 12 requirements for students to earn exemption Level 3 Content-Ready/Exempt from Developmental K-12 and higher education may jointly set Grade 12 requirements to retain exemption (optional for states) Level 4 Note: Applies only to students who matriculate directly from high school to college.
