Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium
Theory of ActionGoal
To ensure that all students leave high school prepared for postsecondary success in college or a career through increased student learning and improved teachingSmarter Balanced Assessment Consortium
SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium
Summative assessments using online computer-adaptive technologies
Efficiently provides accurate measurement of all students, better than a one size fits all approach
Assesses full range of CCSS in English language arts and math
Describes both current achievement and growth across time, indicating progress toward college- and career-readiness
Scores provide reliable state-to-state comparability, with standards set against national and international benchmarks
States and districts have option of giving the summative tests twice a year
SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium
Optional interim and formative assessments
Aligned to and reported on the same scale as the summative assessments
Helps identify specific needs of each student, so teachers can provide appropriate, targeted instructional assistance
Teachers involved in item and task design and scoring, with interim/formative assessments being non-secure and fully accessible
Provides students with clear examples of the expected performance on common standards
SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium
Online, tailored reporting system
Supporting educator access to information about student progress toward career and college readiness
Student performance history can be transported across districts and states
Although the backbone of the reporting system is provided by the Consortium, individual states retain jurisdiction over access permissions and front-end look of online reports
SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium
Benefits and efficiencies from economies of scale due to a multi-state consortium
Cost savings: SMARTER English language arts/Math estimated at ~$21 per student (compared to current ~$43 for WA)[Interim/formative an additional ~$7 per student]
Shared interoperable software platforms: Item generation, item banking, and adaptive testing no longer exclusive property of vendors
Agreed-upon protocols for accommodations for students with disabilities and ELL students
Assessment DesignThe Consortium will provide the following by the 2014-15 school year:3. Formative tools and resources4. Responsible flexibility5.
