Smarter Balanced Consortium

The Smarter Balanced Consortium focuses on elevating educator involvement through various initiatives, including the State Leadership Team (SLT) and State Network of Educators (SNE). With over 400 applications for only 90 slots, our selection criteria emphasize diversity in geography, content area, and experiences with special populations. Educators develop and review formative assessment materials while participating in rigorous training aligned with Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Our Item Development and Quality Review Teams, along with Instructional Leaders, provide essential professional development to ensure successful implementation across districts for all students.
