Assessment for Learning

45* States, DC, and US Virgin Islands Islands

3*Washington and Idaho have adopted the CCSS conditionally/provisionally** Minnesota has adopted the CCSS in ELA only

Race to the Top Assessment Program

In September 2010, the U.S. Department of Educationawarded $350 million of Race to the Top Funds asgrants to the two consortia:• Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC)• Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and

Careers (PARCC)Task: To design and develop common K-12

Mathematics and English language assessment systems aligned to common, college-and career-readiness standards.

SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium

• Alabama• *California• *Connecticut• *Idaho• *Kansas• *Maine• *Missouri• *Nevada• North Carolina• Ohio• *Oregon• South Carolina• *Utah• *Washington• *Wisconsin• Wyoming

• Colorado• Delaware• *Hawaii• Iowa• Kentucky• *Michigan• *Montana• *New Hampshire• North Dakota• Pennsylvania• South Dakota• *Vermont• *West Virginia

* Governing States

Caveats• These assessment consortia are state-led

initiatives with many players-Many decisions have not been made yet-Some decisions are in flux

• The federal role is to provide support to the states for the development of innovative assessments

• There will be new assessments in 2014-15 -How innovative will the new assessments be?

Intention of SBAC Design

To strategically “balance” summative, interim,and formative assessment through an

integratedsystem of standards, curriculum, assessment,instruction, and teacher development, whileproviding accurate year-to year indicators of students’ progress toward college and careerreadiness.

Current vs. CCSSCurrent STAR Assessments

• Grades 2-11, writing at 4th and 7th

• Only paper & pencil option• Taken around 85% of the

instructional days• Only multiple choice• Part of the state and federal

accountability system

Proposed CCSS Assessments• Grades 3-8 and 11, Grades 9 and 10

available for states that choose to use them

• Delivered via computer (Paper and pencil option available for 3 years) and are computer adaptive

• Taken during the final 12 weeks of school

• Performance tasks and comprehensive end-of -year computer adaptive assessment which will some selected response items

• Accountability system has not been established yet

Proposed Elements to the Common Assessment

• Online testing• College and career-readiness assessment aimed at 11th

grade• Rapid reporting system to inform instruction• Teachers involved in developing and scoring tests• Item types– Short constructed response– Extended constructed response– Technology enhanced– Performance tasks– Selected response

Proposed Assessment System Components

• Summative assessment (computer adaptive) -supports accountability and measures growth

• Interim assessment (computer adaptive)-Optional comprehensive and content cluster

assessment -Learning progressions-Available for administration throughout the year

• Formative process and tools-Optional resources for improving instructional

learning-Assessment literacy

The System(Possible Scenario)

Proposed Timeline• 2011

• 2012

• 2013

• 2014

• 2015

Development of formative tools, processes, andpractices underway; Specifications for summativeand interim assessments developed

Summative and interim item developmentcompleted ; Interim item pool become available foruse

Field testing of items for adaptive summativeassessment completed

Preliminary achievement standards proposed and otherpolicy definitions adopted

Operational summative assessment administered; Finalachievement standards verified and adopted

Center for K-12 Assessment & Performance Management at ETS

Novice – short items focused on skills and routines

Apprentice – medium performance tasks with scaffolding

Expert – long tasks with high cognitive load and/or complexity.

Types of Tasks in Mathematics

SBAC’s Specifications for Math

• Written by Hugh Burkhardt and Alan Shoenfeld as commissioned by Linda Darling Hammond for SBAC.

• 60% of the SBAC will be assessed using performance assessment and scored using an analytic point scoring rubric (fashion after MARS rubrics)

• 40% will be machined scored.
