Each content area test will consist of: A computer adaptive testing component A performance task (PT) component 14 7 10/20/2014 Computer Adaptive Technology Faster results Turnaround in weeks compared to months Shorter test length Fewer questions compared to fixed form tests Increased precision Provides accurate measurements of student growth over time Tailored to student ability Item difficulty based on student responses Greater security Mature technology Larger item banks mean that not all students receive the same questions GMAT, GRE, COMPASS, ACT, MAP 15 Testing Schedules Subject & Grade Level ELA & math, grades 3-8 ELA & math, grade 11 Science for CST, CMA, CAPA, in grades 5, 8, and 10 Requirement Testing window shall not begin until at least 66% of a school’s annual instructional days have been completed, and may continue up to the last day of instruction… March 4 – June 4 Testing window shall not begin until at least 80% of a school’s annual instructional days have been completed, and may continue up to the last day of instruction… April 15 – June 4 The testing window shall be administered during a window of 25 days that includes 12 days before and after completion of 85% of the instructional days.

ICAs and IABs use the same universal tools, designated supports, and accommodations. They will be available to all California teachers ICA and IAB use is optional. January 2015 20 10 10/20/2014 Interim Assessment Blocks IABs assess fewer sets of skills and: Use the same targets, by grade level, as the summative blueprints. Consist of short, focused sets of items. Provide information about a student’s strengths and needs in relation to the standards. Offer varied blocks by grade level and subject area. 21 Rollout of ICAs and IABs Initial item pool will be limited in depth. Initial ICAs and IABs will be in a fixed format As the item pool grows, ICAs and IABs will become available as computer-adaptive tests (CATs). 22 11 10/20/2014 Administration of ICAs and IABs ICAs and IABs will only be administered online. The same teacher registration process as the summative assessment will be used. ICA and IAB administration will use the same test delivery interface as the summative assessment. Testing intervals are determined locally. There are no restrictions on the number of times ICAs and IABs may be administered. The items are not secure. 23 Grades Supported Interim Assessments Interim assessments are available for grades 3 through 8 and for high school; however, administration is not constrained by grade level: The grade 5 ICAs/IABs, for example, can be administered to grades above or below grade 5 High school IABs, because they test content appropriate across grade levels, could be given in grades 9, 10, 11, and/or 12. 24 12 10/20/2014 Scoring and Results of the Smarter Balanced Interim Assessments Items are scored by the Smarter Balanced test delivery engine. Scoring of human-scored constructed-response items and performance tasks is a local responsibility. Score reports are generated once the constructed-response item scores and performance task scores are input into the system. 25 Use of Interim Assessment Scores Interim assessment results are reported locally, not to the state. Interim assessment results are not intended to be used for state and federal accountability. Results will be exported from the test management system and imported into the student data management system 26 13 10/20/2014 Questions? What the Digital Library Is Not … A bank of assessment items A library for general public (will require registration and login) A learning management system in which educators can register for training or receive credit by completing specific online courses A site to freely post resources 28 14 10/20/2014 Criteria for Resources Aligns with CCSS Incorporates formative assessment practices Demonstrates high-quality instruction Addresses learner differences Is engaging and user-friendly 29 Digital Library 15 10/20/2014 Tour of the Digital Library Digital Library Front Page 31 Tour of the Digital Library Filter Example 32 16 10/20/2014 Tour of the Digital Library Resource Card Example 33 Tour of the Digital Library Resource Page 34 17 10/20/2014 Tour of the Digital Library Collaboration Page 35 Tour of the Digital Library Flag Page 36 18 10/20/2014 Preparing for Smarter Balanced Data Readiness: CALPADS • CALPADS is the sole source for student enrollment, demographic, and program participation data for the student registration system known as the Test Operations and Management System (TOMS). • Updates to these data must be made in CALPADS.

Perform a pre-administration check of assigned designated supports. 7. Check the test administration interface to confirm student has assigned accessibility support. 50 25 10/20/2014 Preparing Students for the tests Practice and Training Tests Practice Tests Provide students with grade-specific testing experience similar in format and structure to the Field Test, including available supports. Training Tests Allow teachers and students to experience the features, functionality, and item types in computerbased testing. A training test is available for each of three grade bands (3–5, 6–8, and high school) and contains approximately 6–9 items per band, per content area. • Practice tests and training tests are available at http://sbac.portal.airast.org/ca/practice-test-ca/ 52 26 10/20/2014 Practice and Training Tests (cont.)
