April 15, 2014
Objectives
• Understand rationale for implementing new assessment
• Understand the history and development of Smarter Balanced Assessments
• Share key activities in implementation plan
2
Strategic Goals
1.1 Each student graduates from high school ready for college and career with 21st century skills.
1.5 Each school and the district meet or exceed federal and state performance requirements.
3
Overview
• History and development of Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC)
• Components of SBAC• Comparison to current
assessments• Implementation
4
History of SBAC• Race to the Top (RTT) Grants
– Awarded to SBAC and Partnership for Assessment of Readiness of College and Careers (PARCC)
– To develop valid, reliable and fair assessment system
– Aligned to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) in math and English/ language arts (ELA)
– Ensuring students graduate high school college and career ready
5
History of SBAC• Washington state joined SBAC in
2010 with 22 other states and one territory
• Lead Procurement State overseeing all procurement for SBAC
• Governing State– Full commitment to SBAC– Vote on policy decisions– Participate in work groups and guide
development6
Development of SBAC
• SBAC items developed by educators, specialists and assessment administrators from member states
• Extensive Process:– Cognitive labs– Small scale trials– Pilot test– Field test
7
Components of SBAC• System of formative, interim and
summative assessments– Improve teaching and learning– Provide timely and meaningful
feedback– Guide instruction– Inform students, parents and staff on
progress toward learning targets, graduation and college and career readiness
8
Improving Teaching & Learning
Common Core State Standards
specify K-12
expectations for college and career readiness
All students leave
high school college
and career ready
Teachers and schools have
information and tools they need to improve teaching
and learning
Summative:College and career
readiness assessments for
accountability
Interim:Flexible and open
assessments, used for actionable
feedback
Formative resources:Educator resources for formative assessment
practicesto improve instruction

Balanced Assessment
•Coverage of full breadth/depth of Common Core•Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT)
• Precise assessment of all students• More engaging assessment experience
•Performance Tasks – real world problems
Summative Assessments for
Accountability
•Optional for district, school or classroom use•Fully aligned with Common Core – same item pool•Focus on set of standards or mirror summative test•Teachers can review and score responses
Interim Assessments to
Signal Improvement
•Digital library gives access to high-quality resources •Tools/materials for classroom-based assessments•Professional social networking (Web-based PLCs)•Useful for in-service and pre-service development
Formative Tools and Resources for
Improved Instruction

Formative Resources in the Digital Library
* Resources include the following file types: Video, HTML5, Audio, PPT, Excel, Word, and PDF.
• Commissioned professional development modules• Resources for students and families
• Frame formative assessment within a balanced assessment system• Articulate the formative assessment process• Highlight formative assessment practices and tools
• Commissioned professional development modules• Instructional materials for educators • Instructional materials for students
• Demonstrate/support effective implementation of the formative process• Focus on key content and practice from the Common Core State
Standards for Mathematics and English Language Arts
• High-quality vetted instructional resources and tools for educators• High-quality vetted resources and tools for students and families
• Reflect and support the formative process• Reflect and support the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics
and English Language Arts• Create Professional Learning Communities

Interim Assessment Components
12
Interim Assessment
Interim Comprehensive Assessment (ICA)
Interim Assessment Blocks (IAB)
✔
ICA Examples
13
• Mid-year, a teacher might want to know how students are doing in preparation for the summative test, to better know what areas to focus more efforts/attention on.
• Beginning of the year, students entered a class from another state, and the teacher did not have data for them. A teacher decides to give these students the previous year’s ICA to complete the data for the class.
IAB Examples
14
• A teacher is providing focused instruction on opinion in grades 3-5 writing (argumentative in the higher grades). Teacher could use a block focused on opinion writing to determine degree of students’ understanding before or after the instruction.
• An 8th grade math team of teachers wants to be informed about how their students are doing in geometry after the unit.
Summative Assessment Components
15
Summative Assessment
Computer Adaptive Test (CAT)
Performance Taskwith Classroom Activity
✔
Computer Adaptive Test (CAT)
16
• Student response determines the difficulty of the next question
• More accurate assessment of student’s knowledge and skills
• More efficient as less questions are needed to pinpoint student’s achievement level
• More secure testing environment as questions are tailored to each learner from a large test bank
Performance Task
17
• Extended activities measuring the ability to integrate knowledge and skills across multiple standards
• Measure depth of understanding, research skills, and complex analysis
• Foundation of the college and career readiness measure
• Preceded by classroom activity
Classroom Activity
18
• Precedes a performance task• Increases basic understanding of
performance task topic• May include research, video,
readings or simulation• May include collaboration with
partners, small group or whole class

Substantive Differences
24
• Shift in standards requires shift in assessments
• Common Core Standards – Higher level of rigor and cognitive
demand– Requires application of content
knowledge and skills through higher order-thinking skills
– Aligned with college and career readiness expectations

Implementation• SBAC Leadership Team:
– Assessment and Information Systems Teams– Weekly meetings– Developing work plan and timeline
• Logistics• Technology solutions• Budget• Training plan for staff• Student learning modules
– Partnership with Edmonds SD to observe pilot• Steering committee:
– Building and department staff– Guide implementation and provide feedback– Balance of grade levels, area, schools, and staff roles
34
Summary• Assessment system
– Fair, valid, reliable measure of CCSS acquisition and progress toward college and career readiness
– Composed of interim, formative and summative assessments
– Summative assessment includes online CAT and performance tasks
• Preparing in earnest to give our students the best opportunity to demonstrate their learning
• SBAC full implementation in spring of 2015
