  9. Smarter Balanced Draft Achievement Level Descriptors (ALDs) • A full description of the ALDs and an online survey for providing feedback are available on the Smarter Balanced achievement level descriptors Web page at http://www.smarterbalanced.org/achievement-level-descriptors-and-college-readiness/ • Not finalized yet (March 2013) • Describe four levels of achievement of knowledge, skills, and processes in both English–language arts/literacy and mathematics • “deep command,”“sufficient command,”“partial command,” or “minimal command” • Currently: "thorough," "adequate," "partial," and "minimal"

  10. SBAC Spring 2013 Pilot Test • Two components for school participation: • Scientific • Volunteer • There will be no scores or individual student data associated with either component. • The pilot test is untimed but depending on the grade, content area, and types of items administered, test times are expected to range from 2 to 3 hours of student testing time for either component.

  11. SBAC Spring 2013 Pilot Test –Scientific Component • A representative sample of schools selected by SBAC to yield critical data about the items developed to date, as well as how the system is functioning. • Testing window is February 20 through May 10, 2013. Selected schools will be assigned a 2-week period within the this window. • To search for selected California schools by county and district visit the CDE SBAC Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sa/smarterbalanced.asp – select the “Spring 2013 Pilot Test” hyperlink.

  12. SBAC Spring 2013 Pilot Test –Scientific Component • Grade level and content area to be assessed are predetermined as part of the sampling plan. • Training for scientific pilot test schools will include training modules and live webinars. • Training dates and times will be advertised soon.

  13. SBAC Spring 2013 Pilot Test –Scientific Component • Participation is not mandatory but is strongly recommended. • Selected schools will inform future item development and test design. • Opportunity for schools to tryout the online system and for students to interact with the new innovative item types. • SBAC is currently contacting selected schools to confirm participation. Selected schools that cannot participate should contact Data Recognition Corporation (DRC).

  14. SBAC Spring 2013 Pilot Test –Volunteer Component • Open to all schools in SBAC states. • Testing window is April 9 through May 10, 2013. • Schools can participate any time during the volunteer testing window. • Schools may volunteer by completing the volunteer survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SmarterBalancedPilot.

  15. SBAC Spring 2013 Pilot Test –Volunteer Component • Training modules and webinars for the volunteer schools will be posted on the SBAC Web portal at http://sbac.portal.airast.org/. • Volunteer schools can access modules and webinars at their convenience. • There will be no live pilot test training opportunities.

  16. SBAC Spring 2013 Pilot Test –Volunteer Component Incentives for participating in the volunteer component: • Chance for schools to tryout the online administration system. • Opportunity for students interact with the new innovative item types. • Choice of grade(s) and content area(s) tested.

  24. Assessments to Consider (by content area and grade level)

  25. SSPI Recommendations for Transitioning California to a Future Assessment System • California EC Section 60604.5 required the SSPI to provide the Legislature with recommendations for the reauthorization of the statewide pupil assessment program. • In forming recommendations, the SSPI was required to consult with certain stakeholder groups and consider the inclusion of 16 specific features in the assessment system.

  26. SSPI Recommendations for Transitioning California to a Future Assessment System • A report containing the SSPI’s recommendations was delivered to the Legislature on January 8, 2013. • The report includes: • an overview of the current statewide assessment system • current transition efforts • a summary of stakeholder feedback • 12 recommendations for the transition to a new assessment system

  27. Setting the Foundation • Recognize assessment is an integral part of a cycle of standards, curriculum, and instruction. • Recommend a system that promotes and models high quality teaching and learning. • Consider the input of thousands of stakeholders including students, parents, teachers, administrators, business leaders, and community leaders. • Consider the role the state should play in the assessment system and the value of local control. • Recognize the current fiscal climate but also the investment opportunity.

  28. SSPI Recommendation 1 Beginning in the 2013-14 school year, suspend portions of the STAR Program assessments and adjust the API to reflect suspension of such assessments.

  29. SSPI Recommendation 2 Beginning in the 2014-15 school year, fully implement the SBAC ELA and mathematics assessments.

  30. SSPI Recommendation 3 Use the grade eleven SBAC ELA and mathematics assessments as an indicator of college readiness.

  31. SSPI Recommendation 4 Develop and administer science assessments aligned to the new science standards, once adopted.

  32. SSPI Recommendation 5 Develop or use multistate consortia alternate assessments in ELA, mathematics, and science for students with severe cognitive disabilities.

  33. SSPI Recommendation 6 Determine the continued need and purpose of academic assessments in languages other than English once the SBAC assessments are operational.

  34. SSPI Recommendation 7 Assess the full curriculum using assessments that model high-quality teaching and learning activities.

  35. SSPI Recommendation 8 Invest in interim, diagnostic, and formative tools.

  36. SSPI Recommendation 9 Consider alternatives to the current California High School Exit Examination.

  37. SSPI Recommendation 10 Explore the possible use of matriculation examinations.

  38. SSPI Recommendation 11 Conduct comparability studies.

  39. SSPI Recommendation 12 Maintain a continuous cycle of improvement of the assessment system.
