Transitions– MEAP SBAC– MME SBAC– MEAP-Access (for students with disabilities for whom both
MEAP/MME and MI-Access are inappropriate) SBAC– MI-Access (for students with significant cognitive disabilities)
• Functional Independence (for students with mild cognitive disabilities)• Supported Independence (for students with moderate cognitive disabilities)
• Participation (for students with severe cognitive disabilities) DLM– Michigan English Language Proficiency Assessment (ELPA)

Teachers and schools have
information and tools they need
to improve teaching and
learning
Interim assessments
Flexible, open, used for actionable

Smarter Balanced Pilot Test• Scientific Sample
– 620 Michigan schools targeted
• Volunteer Schools– Released forms open to everyone
• Lessons Learned– Item development– Systems interoperability– Scoring needs– Translation methodology
14
Smarter Balanced Next Steps• Item development for spring 2014 field test• Hire a scoring service provider and build AI
scoring engine• Continue developing:
– CAT specifications– Reporting system– Digital library– Interim system
