SBAC Timeline
• 2013/2014: – Comprehensive field exams available– Digital library created
• 2014/2015:– Full implementation of SBA for Grades 3 – 8 and
11(EOC continues as graduation requirement)
• Computer Adaptive Testing
Administered by computer, a Computerized Adaptive Test (CAT) dynamically adjusts to the trait level of each examinee as the test is being administered.

A Balanced Assessment System
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 Interim assessments
Flexible, open, used for actionable
feedback(Optional)
Summative assessments
Benchmarked to college and career
readiness
Teacher resources for formative
assessment practices
to improve instruction(Optional)

How will these tests be different from our current assessments?
• Smarter Balanced assessments will go beyond multiple-choice questions and include short constructed response, extended constructed response, and performance tasks that allow students to complete an in-depth project that demonstrate analytical skills and real-world problem solving.
