9. A Balanced Assessment System Common Core State Standards specify K-12 expectations 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 and learning Summative: College and career readiness assessments for accountability Interim: Flexible and open assessments, used for actionable feedback Formative resources: Supporting classroom-based assessments to improve instruction

24. 8/16/2013 | Slide 24 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Assessment Directors’ Network What’s Happening This Year, 2013-14?  Exit exams remain the same (HSPE, EOC)  CAA options remain the same, except  New Biology COE ready for June 2014 submission for Class of 2015 and beyond (only after two attempts on Biology EOC)  Class of 2013 had some relaxation of Collection of Evidence rules that had been newly implemented – these will not continue ( COE is limited to one submission per content area throughout HS, and requires two attempts on general assessment before submitting )  Schools will be recruited for Smarter Balanced field test  Trying to avoid students having to take current test AND field test

25. 8/16/2013 | Slide 25 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Assessment Directors’ Network Smarter Balanced Field Testing  March - June 2014  Purpose: Evaluate items and tasks for Smarter Balanced pool… Statistical data analysis of 22,000+ items Divide items/tasks into secure (summative) pool and open (interim) pool Conduct standard setting for different performance levels (“cut scores”)  Sampling of about 10% of each state’s students for ELA and about 10% for math  States & Smarter Balanced developing ways to avoid double testing

26. 8/16/2013 | Slide 26 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Assessment Directors’ Network Smarter Balanced Field Testing  US Dept of Ed is allowing states to participate in the Smarter Balanced field test in 2013-14 in one of several ways ( pending ESEA Waiver approval ):  Students take current state tests and field tests (double testing), with school accountability coming from current state tests  Students take only field test, with school accountability coming from field tests (early adoption states – not Washington)  Blended model where some schools take current test only and some schools take field test only  If only field testing, school accountability is carried over from 2012- 2013

27. 8/16/2013 | Slide 27 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Assessment Directors’ Network Smarter Balanced Field Testing  Blended model is what Washington plans to use (in grades 3-8).  In September, elementary and middle schools will choose to: A. Administer current test only B. Administer field test only

28. 8/16/2013 | Slide 28 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Assessment Directors’ Network Smarter Balanced Field Testing  Administering field test only (grades 3-8):  Operations  Field test will be online  All grades at a school must field test, both ELA & Math  Testing window TBD (hopefully schools will have choice of two weeks within last 12 weeks, but may be an assigned 4 week window)  Minimal info will be available for individual score reports  No direct costs to schools for field test  More information coming from Smarter Balanced in the next month

29. 8/16/2013 | Slide 29 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Assessment Directors’ Network Smarter Balanced Field Testing  Administering field test only (grades 3-8):  School accountability  Percent meeting standard is carried over from state assessments in 2012-2013  Priority, Focus, and Emerging lists to be generated in same way, but 2014 proficiency score will be duplicative of 2013  New accountability index will be compromised because we won’t have new Student Growth Percentiles for 2013-14 (could just use same SGP for 2013 and 2014)

30. 8/16/2013 | Slide 30 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION Assessment Directors’ Network Smarter Balanced Field Testing  What about in High Schools?  All students need access to current tests (HSPEs & EOCs) for graduation  All 10 th graders will take Reading and Writing HSPE  All 10 th graders will take Year 1 Math EOC (unless previously passed)  All 10 th graders will take Biology EOC (unless previously passed)  Students who have previously not met standard can retake any or all  Field testing on Smarter Balanced CCR is available for all grades (Math and or ELA) – mostly need 11 th graders to field test, or students who have already fulfilled assessment graduation requirements  Field test will be online  Testing window TBD (hopefully schools will have choice of two weeks within last 12 weeks)  Minimal info will be available for individual score reports  No direct costs to schools for field test  More information coming from Smarter Balanced in the next month
