Preparing for the
Smarter Balanced Assessments:
English Language Arts &
Mathematics
Karen Brown Smith
2014-15 Oregon’s Assessment of
Knowledge and Skills…
the statewide assessment system is
still called ‘OAKS’
School districts are at different
levels of implementing the
Common Core State Standards
With that in mind,
there is no one size fits all approach
for preparing stakeholders
AGENDA
 Oregon Statewide
Test Schedule
 Preparing for Oregon’s new statewide
summative assessments in English Language
Arts and Mathematics
 Oregon Statewide Assessment Accessibility
Supports
 Provide time to explore the resources we
talked about today
OBJECTIVE
 Recognize that
all school districts are at
different levels with regards to CCSS
implementation.
 Explore resources available to prepare staff,
students, and parents for Oregon’s new
statewide summative assessments in
English/Language Arts and Mathematics.
 Overview of Oregon’s accessibility supports
(formerly “accommodations manual”) for all
of the statewide assessments.
What this training is not
• This training today does not count as any
required training to administer statewide
assessments.
• We will not focus on information that you will
receive during your mandatory OAKS training
that ODE requires.
– This year ODE has pre-recorded training modules
that DTCs must watch prior to the DTC Training

Schedule
• You have a handout that displays the testing
schedule in timetable format
– The Smarter Balanced testing window opens March
10 (ELA and Math: includes CAT and PT)
• Test grades 3-8 after 66% of instructional calendar is
complete
• Test grade 11 after 80% of instructional calendar is
complete
• With this schedule in mind, when is the best time for you
to administer interim and formative assessments locally?

 Smarter’s ELA & Math Accessibility Supports
Training Modules
 Oregon’s statewide assessment accessibility

 IEP/504 Meeting- ISAAP Tool
 TIDE (Pre-Set Designated Supports and
Accommodations)

Smarter Balanced ELA & MATH
PRACTICE & TRAINING TESTS
 Practice Tests: Allow teachers, students and parents and
other interested parties to experience a full grade-level
assessment (Approx. 30 items each in ELA and Math, as well
as Performance Tasks)
 Training Tests: Designed to provide students and teachers
with opportunities to quickly familiarize themselves with the
software and navigation tools. All embedded universal tools,
designated supports and accommodations are available to use
on the training tests(CAT items only, no Performance Tasks).
Smarter Balanced ELA & MATH
PRACTICE & TRAINING TESTS DEMO
ODE highly recommends that every student take
both the practice and training tests before taking the
new summative assessments.
 The practice and training tests can assist IEP/504
teams to determine which universal tools,
designated supports and accommodations are
needed for each individual student to be successful
on the new assessments.

All accessibility supports a student receives on
the statewide assessments should mirror the
supports currently being provided in classroom
instruction and assessments.

OREGON ACCESSIBILITY
ODE developed an Accessibility Supports
training module that discusses testing options
for students. This is a required training for DTCs,
STCs, and Test Administrators.

SUPPORTS ON A STUDENT’S IEP
Accessibility Supports can be Addressed in Four
Sections of the IEP:
1. “Consideration of Special Factors” [Sec. 614 (d)(3)(B)].
2. “Present Levels of Academic and Functional Performance
(PLAAFP)” [Sec. 614 (d)(1)(A)(i)(I)].
3. “Participation in Assessments” [Sec. 612 (a)(16)].
4. “Supplementary Aids and Services” [Sec. 602 (33) and Sec
614 (d)(1)(A)(i)].

OREGON ACCESSIBILITY SUPPORTS:
UPDATE
 Interim Oregon Accessibility Manual (OAM) is posted
 Final TAM- per Smarter Balanced finalization of policies
and procedures.
 Accessibility supports may change in the future if
additional tools, supports, or accommodations are
identified for the assessment based on state
experience and research findings.
NEXT STEPS/CONSIDERATIONS
 To what extent are you familiar with the processes
and/or resources available to address the
linguistic, cognitive, and physical demands of the
computer-based statewide summative
assessments?
 To what extent do you feel prepared to engage in
a process that will ensure every student who
participates in the statewide summative
assessments in your district receives the Universal
Tools, Designated Supports, and Accommodations
that fulfill their needs?
