AB 484: Accountability,Score Use, and Evaluation
8
• State Superintendent, with State Board approval, will not produce an Academic Performance Index in 2013-14 and 2014-15
• Restricts comparison of scores from MAPP and STAR
• Prohibits display of scores that would identify
students or teachers

Field Test Purpose
9
“A field test is not designed to be a valid and reliable measure of student achievement; rather, it is designed to help the test developers evaluate whether the tests, individual items, and the technology platform work as intended before the first operational administration.”
Deborah S. Delisle, U.S. Department of Education
www.smcoe.org
Smarter Balanced Spring 2014 Field Test
• March 18 – June 6, 2014• Specific school and student sampling structure is under
development (AB 484 requires Superintendent to develop a plan)
• Scientific sample comprised of 20% (10% ELA and 10% mathematics) of students across consortium states
• Data from the sample will be used to determine item reliability and validity and initial performance level scores
• All other students will participate by taking EITHER an ELA or Mathematics Smarter Balanced field test
www.smcoe.org
Benefits of Field Test Participation• Students: will have hands-on experience with the
functionality of a computer-based assessment
• Teachers and administrators: will gain valuable exposure to administration logistics during a trial run
• LEAs: will benefit from knowing wheretechnology gaps may exist to fully prepare for operational assessments

OutcomesParticipants will…
• Re-examine a “Balanced and Coherent System of Assessment” & its relationship to the emergent SBAC assessments
• Diagnose their district’s/schools’ readiness for SBAC implementation and identify areas of strength and for further growth/learning
• Identify common assessments that will be used to measure, monitor and report progress to stakeholders
www.smcoe.org
Agenda
1. A Balanced and Coherent System of Assessment: Some Reminders
2. Systems assessment – Where is your organization regarding the SBAC transition?
3. Common assessments/reporting in a “CST-free” zone
www.smcoe.org
CST Learning…• What have you learned (good or bad) about assessment
from your CST experience:
• Preparing students • Administering high-stakes tests• Analyzing/using CST data?• Educator PD regarding assessment
• What lessons should we take forward into our work to implement the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium Assessments?

Data Analysis Lessons from NCLB-Era“Data Analysis and the Next Generation Assessments,” Pon, Kathy.Leadership (ACSA) Jan./Feb. 2013 (p. 30-35)
Lessons learned:1. Assessment items have an influence on
teachers’ discussions about student understanding
2. Data analysis using inquiry-based protocols and facilitators promote effective analysis of student assessment information

Data Analysis Lessons from NCLB-Era“Data Analysis and the Next Generation Assessments,” Pon, Kathy. Leadership (ACSA) Jan./Feb. 2013 (p. 30-35)
Lessons learned:3. Teacher reflection that focuses on
understanding student thinking supports and informs instructional decisions
4. Data analysis must be connected to powerful instructional or programmatic modifications
5. The effective use of data is best supported by the strategic distribution of leadership throughout a district

A Balanced and Coherent System of Assessment

A Balanced System of AssessmentLarge Scale(Assessment of)
• Summative in nature• Norm referenced• Aptitude• Achievement
Essential Question:What have students already learned?
Mid-Scale(Assessment for)
• Formative processes with summative information
• Criterion-referenced• Often teacher or
district-made• Achievement
Essential Question:How can we help students learn more?
Small-Scale(Assessment for)
• Questioning• Achievement
Essential Question:How can we help students learn more?

Formative and Summative Assessment• Formative and summative assessments are interconnected. They seldom stand alone in construction or effect.
• The vast majority of genuine formative assessment is informal, with interactive and timely feedback and response.
• It is widely and empirically argued that formative assessment has the greatest impact on learning and achievement.
www.smcoe.org
Formative vs. Summative Assessment• Formative: FOR learning. It is taken at varying intervals
throughout a course to provide information and feedback that will help improve the quality of student learning and the quality of the course itself. Formative assessment provides information on what an individual student needs to practice, to have re-taught, and what to learn next.
• Summative: OF learning. It is generally taken by students at the end of a unit, semester, or year to demonstrate the “sum” of what they have or have not learned.

AssessmentOptional Interim Assessment Bank
Formative Assessment Practices
• Grades 3-8 and 11 • Secure items/tasks;
used for high school accountability and student readiness indicator
• Includes “up to” 6 performance tasks (3 in ELA, 3 in math) to be completed by end of 11th grade
• May be taken twice
• Uses non-secure items/tasks; purpose to monitor progress toward college-career readiness
• Results placed on same scale as summative
• Includes performance tasks
• Research-based on-demand resources for teachers to enhance classroom assessment activities
• Professional development materials include model units of instruction and assessment items, formative strategies

How SBAC-Ready is your organization?
• We will use CDE’s Guiding Strategy #3 (Transition to New Assessment Systems) to review one version of ideal and

Self Assessment1. Underline items your district has accomplished
thus far and calibrate/share with your table
2. Note items to still be accomplished
3. Discuss your assessment with a neighbor
4. Be prepared to share out common issues if time permits

Student Achievement Data• Performance on standardized tests (Title I)• Score on API• Share of students that are college/career ready• Share of English Learners that become English
Proficient (Title III)• EL reclassification rate (Title III)• Share of students that pass AP/IB exams• Share of students “college ready” on the Early
Assessment Program (EAP)
www.smcoe.org
Progress that could be Measured/Shared with Stakeholders
• Mathematics Assessment Resource Service (MARS)• CCSS-aligned benchmark assessments in ELA/Math• Standards-based grades• Diagnostic assessments• Access to higher-level course taking (where/when
relevant)• Re-designation criteria (other than CST, of course)• Others?
www.smcoe.org
DiscussionTurn to your table and…1. Discuss what measures your district is planning
to use with stakeholders2. Identify any common measures 3. What will have to happen to make these
measures more “legitimate” if you have questions about their standards-alignment?
4. Select one person in your group to share out
