Five Key Messages for Smarter Balanced Assessments

1. New assessments are needed due to change in learning standards.

2. Smarter Balanced assessments are being jointly developed by 22 states and territories (less expensive, powerful design).

3. The name ‘Balanced’ is intentional – ongoing classroom based assessment as part of instruction will improve learning.

4. These tests will be more accessible to more students (translations, accommodations, supports).

5. 2015 results will set a new baseline of student performance in Washington.

Page 3: Riippi ppt

Smarter Balanced Assessments

Common Core State Standards specify

K-12 expectatio

ns 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

rand learning

Summative: College and career

readiness assessments for

accountability

Interim: Flexible and open

assessments, used for actionable

feedback

Formative Educator Resources:

Digital Library with instructional and

professional learning resources that include embedded formative

assessment processes Page 3

Accessibility Accessibility addressed in three categories:

Universal tools (for all students, at all times during administration) Designated supports (for any student as educator concludes need) Accommodations (specific to students with IEPs or 504 plans

documenting need)

Like the tests, Smarter Balanced leveraged collaboration amongst states and national experts to develop accessibility guidelines focused on students AND content constructs.

Smarter Balanced approach is consistent with recent USED guidance on supporting greater student access that results in valid test outcomes.

Accessibility, cont’

Smarter Balanced tests will have translations or glossaries in 10 languages and dialects, and American Sign Language.

The online testing platform embeds the tools, supports and accommodations within the system appropriate to a student’s need (e.g., text-to-speech, enlarged print, color contrast).

Greater accessibility also acknowledges occasional need to use non-embedded accommodations and supports (e.g., scribing, speech-to-text, read-aloud).

The interim assessments will have the same accessibility supports as the summative test administration.

2014-2015 Accessibility Guidelines:Plan for All Washington Testing

Our philosophy will be accessibility designed to optimize student testing experiences

A consolidated set of guidelines, adapted to testing formats (i.e., paper/pencil) Smarter Balanced’s well-developed, researched-based guidelines will

frame the approach to access for all state assessments.

State providing supports to educators in understanding and implementing new guidelines.

A student’s access needs do not change between tests, but implementation methods might need to change.

Practice Tests Always Available The practice tests, in English language

arts/literacy (ELA) and mathematics for grades 3 through 8 and 11, each include approximately 30 questions.

Practice tests are available to everyone – students, teachers, parents, the general public.

The Smarter Balanced Practice Tests continue to be updated with new questions and performance tasks.

New enhancements (released in May) include additional embedded universal tools, designated supports and accommodations.

Page 12: Riippi ppt

Working with Resources(before testing)

• Practice Test– All item types and Performance Tasks– Available to all on Web since May 2013– Updated periodically with new features– http://sbac.portal.airast.org/practice-test/

Field Test Update

Field test completed by 186,800 students in Washington, and 4,200,935 across the consortium

• Purpose of field test was to:

• Help ensure assessments are valid, reliable, and fair for all students

• Provide teachers, schools, and students an opportunity to participate in a practice run of the assessment system

• Evaluate performance of 20,000+ assessment items and performance tasks

• Set preliminary achievement standards that help determine student preparedness for college and career

Field Test Update, cont.’

Field testing was remarkably smooth Feedback regarding technology was very

positive!!! Small glitches but nothing widespread. Concurrent users not a factor No major local network issues. Bandwidth

seems to not have been a problem. Some device related problems. Districts have a sense of relief that things

worked out. Challenge for next year seems to be ironing

out glitches as well as scheduling problems due to inadequate number of devices at some schools.

Field Test Update, cont.’ What did we learn:

Content is a bigger problem than technology Familiarity with keyboarding and digital tools

(e.g., calculator) is important Scheduling (longer sessions vs. several shorter

sessions) is worth a significant discussion Consider having staff take practice test Interim assessments will provide a run-through

opportunity Rigor does not seem to be too shocking, but

certainly some sense of “harder”

After the Field Test: What Next?

Share “Best Practices” identified through field test.

Consortium has revised Test Administration Manual, etc.

Policy clarification for some things, for example: Can districts go against “recommendations” in

the TAM?

Improved systems, for example: The student data management system. The accommodations/designated support

collection system.

Working with new assessment delivery vendor, American Institutes of Research (A-I-R) to build the best delivery system possible.

OSPI Goals with Respect to Smarter Balanced Communications Clarify for districts where answers can be found

(OSPI or vendor).

Try not to overwhelm districts/schools with communication.

Iron out duplicate communications.

Manage local interpretations of issues. For example, google user groups sometimes promote information that does not impact all users or is incorrect.

Work out an emergency plan for crisis management situations.

Smarter Balanced + Higher Ed

Unprecedented movement to use mandatory high school tests in college placement

State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC) and Washington Student Achievement Council (WSAC) involved

Draft agreement to provide access to juniors who score a 3 or 4 on the SBAC ELA and math tests in to credit bearing courses All community colleges Some baccalaureates

Connects with movement to allow transcripts based on placement – not the old system with “all or none” based on Compass or Accuplacer exams

But Smarter Balanced is so Much More!

In addition to the spring test, we will be given access to:

Online “interim” tests using questions/items that teachers can use throughout the school year as part of teaching.

Other resources in a Digital Library for teachers to use for professional development.

Page 22: Riippi ppt

Digital Library

Educator resources for formative assessment practices

to improve instruction

August 11, 201427

Page 23: Riippi ppt

Digital Library Preview Period

June 3 – September 30, 2014

Test the initial software

application

Provide users access to an initial

set of resources that will grow

Page 24: Riippi ppt

The Digital Library: By the Numbers

• Open review June 6 – Sept 30 for all K-12 teachers in member states

• Currently 1,066 resources– Forums available on every resource

– State-of-the-art tagging and search features can quickly find resources by CCSS and other topics

• 141,233 authorized users a/o July 18

• After Sept 30: Access for teachers in subscribing states only

Page 25: Riippi ppt

Digital Library Basics• The Digital Library will be accessed through a single sign-on with

user permission levels so educators have access to all of the instructional and professional learning resources for each grade band (Grades K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12).

• There will be resources that educators can share or use with students and families, but students and families will not be able to access materials directly.

• All resources will have the formative assessment process embedded within them. But the Digital Library WILL NOT be a “bank” of formative assessment items alone.

• All submitted materials will be vetted through a Quality Criteria Review Process by reviewers across the nation.

• Each resource will be reviewed and rated by at least 3 trained educators

• If resources do not meet the quality criteria, they will not be included in the library Page 30

Page 26: Riippi ppt

Digital Library Functionality• Enables State Networks

of Educators and State Leadership Teams to submit, review, and publish resources

• Allows educators to view, download, and rate resources

• Uses state-of-the-art tagging and search to quickly find resources by CCSS and other topics

• Enables educators from across the Consortium to collaborate and share their knowledge

• Facilitates access to resources that are stored in participating libraries
