Important ideas about the Smarter Balanced summative assessments

The assessments evaluate learning related to the Common Core State Standards in English language arts and math
Students with intellectual disabilities and English learners who have been in the United States less than 12 months do not take this assessment
Students in grades 3-8 and 11 take this assessment
![Page 8: Understanding California’s New State Assessments Mickey Porter and Rick Phelan Sonoma County Office of Education](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e625503460f94b5ef22/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Students use computers or tablets to take the assessments
Traditional multiple-choice and at least six other questions types are used, including ones that require constructed written responses
Computer testing with these types of response options are new for many students
The assessments arecomputer-based
![Page 9: Understanding California’s New State Assessments Mickey Porter and Rick Phelan Sonoma County Office of Education](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e625503460f94b5ef22/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
This is first year that California public schools are accountable for fully implementing the Common Core Standards in English and mathematics
This is the first time that scores from tests aligned to those standards will be reported
Test scores will be reported this spring
![Page 10: Understanding California’s New State Assessments Mickey Porter and Rick Phelan Sonoma County Office of Education](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032604/56649e625503460f94b5ef22/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Recall and basic comprehension
Application of concepts involving some mental processing
Applications requiring more abstract thinking, reasoning, and complex inferences
Extended analysis that requires synthesis and analysis across multiple contexts
Questions that require abstract thinking, synthesis, and analysis will comprise 50-60% of the assessments. This is a dramatic increase in rigor.
Thinking will be measured in four domains

The new assessments measure different content and skills from California STAR exams
Results should not be comparedto earlier state assessments
