Description of Assessment
SBA includes two types of tasks that are both taken online:
❏ Computer Adaptive Test for ELA & Math❏ Short-answer, multiple-choice questions and interactive test items❏ Questions adjust to each student’s ability
❏ Performance Task for Math❏ Longer multi-step questions applied to a complex task❏ Students solve real-world problems❏ Measures depth of understanding of concepts and complex
analysis
![Page 6: College Admission Testing Standardized Testing...Standardized Testing & College Admission Testing Report to the Board of Education 2018/2019 Testing Year Dr. Susie Da Silva, Assistant](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071108/5fe3659882486a4c2244c6c6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
SBA: Purposes of the Assessment
❏ Provides an annual snapshot of student achievement in comparison to the standards
❏ Provides valid, reliable and fair measures of students’ progress and growth over time
❏ Provides assessment data that is used, along with other assessment types, when making educational decisions about specific students
![Page 7: College Admission Testing Standardized Testing...Standardized Testing & College Admission Testing Report to the Board of Education 2018/2019 Testing Year Dr. Susie Da Silva, Assistant](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071108/5fe3659882486a4c2244c6c6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
SBA: Purposes of the AssessmentNot Useful As:❏ A sole measure of student achievement, program evaluation or school,
district, and state accountability systems❏ The sole source of guidance for curriculum or instruction
❏ A substitute for a wide variety of other relevant ways to assess student learning, such as:
❏ classroom assessments❏ teacher observations❏ student work portfolios❏ universal screening❏ frequent progress monitoring❏ detailed diagnostic assessment or evaluation
![Page 8: College Admission Testing Standardized Testing...Standardized Testing & College Admission Testing Report to the Board of Education 2018/2019 Testing Year Dr. Susie Da Silva, Assistant](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071108/5fe3659882486a4c2244c6c6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
SBA Performance Categories and Scale Scores
❏ Students receive a “performance category” for each area of knowledge and skills within a subject
❏ This provides a general indication of students’ strengths and weaknesses within each subject area
❏ The Smarter Balanced overall scale scores fall along a continuous vertical scale (from approximately 2000 to 3000), these scores can be used to illustrate students’ current level of achievement and their growth over time when compared across grade levels
![Page 9: College Admission Testing Standardized Testing...Standardized Testing & College Admission Testing Report to the Board of Education 2018/2019 Testing Year Dr. Susie Da Silva, Assistant](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071108/5fe3659882486a4c2244c6c6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
SBA Achievement Levels
Four Achievement Levels
❏ Level 1 = Does not meet the achievement standard
❏ Level 2 = Approaching the achievement standard
❏ Level 3 = Meets the achievement standard
❏ Level 4 = Exceeds the achievement standard

Sample Student Score Report for ELA
![Page 11: College Admission Testing Standardized Testing...Standardized Testing & College Admission Testing Report to the Board of Education 2018/2019 Testing Year Dr. Susie Da Silva, Assistant](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071108/5fe3659882486a4c2244c6c6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Lexile Level
New this year parents have been given a lexile level to help support them in finding books that are ‘just right’ for their child. In Darien we use a similar system, the Fountas and Pinnell leveling system that is based on letters.

Sample Student Score Report for Math
![Page 13: College Admission Testing Standardized Testing...Standardized Testing & College Admission Testing Report to the Board of Education 2018/2019 Testing Year Dr. Susie Da Silva, Assistant](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022071108/5fe3659882486a4c2244c6c6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Quantile Level
For the first time parents have been given a quantile level. When parents look this number up, it will assist them in finding math activities that are at the ‘just right’ level for your child. More information about this is printed on the student score report.

Next Steps- Smarter Balanced Assessment
❏ Review at the district and school level to identify opportunities for program enhancement
❏ Students performing below goal have been identified by schools for review of SRBI support- use of Interim Assessments
❏ Review 2018-19 testing windows; 2018-19 (All elementary (G 3-5) and middle school (6-8) tested at the same time to reduce impact on instructional time
