  8. Next Generation Assessments • Aligned to the Common Core State Standards • Created with expectations linked to international benchmarks. • Measure student achievement and growth in literacy and mathematics in grades 3-12. • Designed to support students in developing essential 21st century skills to get students College and Career Ready.

  9. What Skills will students need to be “College and Career Ready?”

  10. Implementation Timeline NC COMMONCORE EOG 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 Smarter Balanced Assessments 2014-2015

  11. Using Technology to Assess How can we use technology to assess greater depth in understanding?

  12. Using Technology to Assess How did the student demonstrate her ability to make meaning and draw inferences in this example?

  13. Authentic Tools Write an example (or draw a picture) of an authentic online tool on a sticky note. Generate as many examples as you can (use a different sticky note for each).

  21. Turn and Talk What changes in instruction are needed in order for our students to be successful with Next Generation Assessments?

  22. Brain Break

  23. How do you think this student did on this exam?

  24. Teacher Comment… “There were two possible answer choices: A (True) and B (False). You chose C for all 100 questions in an obvious attempt to get lucky with at least a quarter of the answers. It’s as if you didn’t look at a single question. Unfortunately, this brings your final grade in this class to failing. See you next year and may God have mercy on your soul. P.S. If all else fails, go with B from now on. B is the new C.”

  25. Next Generation Assessments How will Next Generation Assessment items be scored?

  26. What About Technology? NC is an active participant in the SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) • Test Administration, • Validation and Psychometrics, • Technology Approach, and • Transition to Common Core SBAC workgroups.
