  1. Reauthorization of the Statewide Pupil Assessment System andSMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) Update Transitioning to New Assessments

  2. California Current Assessments • Standardized Testing and Reporting Program (STAR) • California Standards Tests (CSTs) • Early Assessment Program (EAP) • California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA) • California Modified Assessment (CMA) • Standards-based Tests in Spanish (STS) • California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) • California English Language Development Test (CELDT) • General Educational Development Test (GED) • California High School Proficiency Exam (CHSPE) • National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) • Physical Fitness Test (PFT)

  3. Reauthorization of STAR • AB250 -- Requires the State Superintendent of Instruction to make recommendations for changes to STAR that reflect an assessment system that would meet the requirements of the current ESEA. • Plan : http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sa/ab250.asp • January 8th,2013 -- presented to the legislature • January 16th, 2013 -- presented to the SBE as an information item

  4. STAR in 2013-14 (requires new legislation) ELA (CST, CMA, CAPA) -Grades 3 – 8, 10 (CAPA only), 11 (CST only) Math (CST, CMA, CAPA) -Grade level exams in Grades 3 – 7 -Algebra in Grades 7 & 8, if applicable -General Math in Grade 8 in no Algebra -Alg. II or H.S. Summative Math for Grade 11 Science (CST, CMA, CAPA) -Grades 5, 8 & 10

  5. What will be eliminated? • Grade 2 (CST, CMA, CAPA) • Grade 9 ELA (CST, CMA, CAPA) • Grade 10 ELA (CST, CMA) • Grade 11 ELA (CMA & CAPA) • Grade 8 & 11 History • World History (9, 10 or 11) • EOC Math (except Alg. CST/CMA in 7 & 8, Alg. II & H.S. Math CSTs in Gr. 11) • EOC Science--all • Grades 2 - 11 STS (Standards Test in Spanish)

  6. Pilot Testing • Current Pilot: • 10,000+ items and performance tasks • Two million students • LBUSD: Burcham K-8, Cleveland, Garfield, Henry K-8, Lafayette, Monroe K-8, Muir K-8, Robinson, Cubberley • Past LBUSD Pilots: • CAMS: Technology Enabled (on computer) • Newcomb, Holmes, Hudson: Technology Enabled • CORE 8 Pilot: Performance Tasks

  7. The Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) Assessments for grades 3 - 8 and 11 aligned to the Common Core State Standards (ELA and Math) Operational in the 2014–15 school year Meets ESEA assessment requirements

  8. What’s Different?

  9. Six Item Types • Selected Response • Short Constructed Response • Extended Constructed Response • Performance Tasks • Technology-Enabled • Technology-Enhanced Which LBUSD assessments have these types of items?

  10. Common Assessment Formats • Paper and pencil testing • Computer based testing (CBT) • Uses fixed form but is administered using a computer • Computer adaptive testing (CAT) • Presents harder or easier questions, depending on how the student performs as the test proceeds • Can provide greater accuracy with fewer questions

  11. Computer Adaptive Testing • The system will adjust the difficulty of items throughout the assessment 11

  12. Computer Adaptive Testing20 Items

  13. To Take a Closer Look… • Access items on the Smarter-Balanced website http://www.smarterbalanced.org/sample-items-and-performance-tasks/
