  2. Questions • What is SBAC? • Who is being tested? • What is the schedule for testing? • What are the access tools and accommodations available for students? • What are the similarities/differences between CMT and SBAC? • What does the SBAC test look like? • What are we doing to prepare for SBAC?

  3. What is SBAC? • The Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium is one of two multistate consortia that has developed an assessment system based on the new Common Core State Standards (CCSS) • Three components: • Summative assessments – spring 2014 • Interim assessments – spring/fall 2014 • Formative tools – spring 2014

  4. A National Consortium of States

  5. What Elementary Students are Being Tested? • Grade 5 ELA and Math – March 18 – April 4 • Grade 4 ELA and Math – April 7 – April 25 • Grade 3 ELA and Math – April 28 and May 16 • **Grade 5 Science CMT – March 18

  6. What is a Computer Adaptive Test? • Based on student responses the computer program adjusts the difficulty of questions through the assessment • Advantages: • Provides accurate measurements of student growth over time • Item difficult is based on student response • Shorter test length • Turn around time is significantly reduced • CAT will start in spring 2015

  7. CMT v. SBAC Testing Times *includes 30 minute in-class performance task
