Common Core State Standards
TOM TORLAKSON
State Superintendent
of Public Instruction
• Common Core State Standards (CCSS)
describe what students should know and be
able to do in each subject in each grade.
• Standards are used to develop curriculum
and assessment programs.
• State Board of Education adopted CCSS
for English and mathematics in 2010.
• Forty-five states have adopted CCSS for
those subjects.

Smarter Balanced Assessment
Consortium
TOM TORLAKSON
State Superintendent
of Public Instruction
• California joined the multi-state Smarter
Balanced Assessment Consortium in June
2011 as a governing state.
• Smarter Balanced is working to develop
new assessments based on the CCSS.
• Assessments are designed to measure
student progress toward college and career
readiness.
5
Assembly Bill 484
TOM TORLAKSON
State Superintendent
of Public Instruction
• Assembly Bill (AB) 484 established the
California Assessment of Student
Performance and Progress (CAASPP) in
October 2013.
• CAASPP succeeds the Standardized
Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program.
• AB 484 requires that local educational
agencies (LEAs) participate in the Smarter
Balanced Field Test.
6
California Assessment of Student
Performance and Progress (CAASPP)
TOM TORLAKSON
State Superintendent
of Public Instruction
• CAASPP consists of assessments from
different testing programs:
– Smarter Balanced Assessments
– California Standards Tests (CSTs)
– California Modified Assessment (CMA)
– California Alternate Performance
Assessment (CAPA)
7
Required Assessments
for the 2013–14 School Year
TOM TORLAKSON
State Superintendent
of Public Instruction
• Smarter Balanced Field Test for English-language arts
(ELA) and mathematics:
– Grades 3–8: all students are expected to participate.
– Grades 9 and 10: only students selected for the
scientific sample are expected to participate.
– Grade 11: students selected for the scientific sample
are expected to participate. All others are
encouraged to participate.
• Exceptions:
– Students who participate in the CAPA
– For the ELA test only, English learners who have
been attending school in the United States for less
than 12 months
8
Required Assessments
for the 2013–14 School Year (cont.)
TOM TORLAKSON
State Superintendent
of Public Instruction
• Science for grades 5, 8, and 10
– CSTs
– CMA
– CAPA
• CAPA for grades 2–11 in ELA and mathematics
9
Optional Assessments
for the 2013–14 School Year
TOM TORLAKSON
State Superintendent
of Public Instruction
• Early Assessment Program (EAP) in grade 11
– Voluntary for students as it has been in previous
years
– All grade 11 students must have the option to
participate in the EAP
– Scores for individuals only—will not produce
school-, district-, or state-level scores from EAP
assessments
• Standards-based Tests in Spanish for
Reading/Language Arts in grades 2 through 11
– Voluntary for LEAs to administer to English learners
10
Field Test Purpose
TOM TORLAKSON
State Superintendent
of Public Instruction
“A field test is not designed to be a valid and reliable
measure of student achievement; rather, it is
designed to help the test developers evaluate
whether the tests, individual items, and the
technology platform work as intended before the first
operational administration.”
—Deborah S. Delisle
U.S. Department of Education
11
Benefits of
Field Test Participation
TOM TORLAKSON
State Superintendent
of Public Instruction
• Students: will have hands-on experience
with the functionality of a computer-based
assessment.
• Teachers and administrators: will gain
valuable exposure to administration
logistics during a trial run.
• LEAs: will benefit from knowing where
technology gaps may exist so they can fully
prepare for operational assessments.
12
Spring 2014
Smarter Balanced Field Test
TOM TORLAKSON
State Superintendent
of Public Instruction
• The Field Test will be administered March 25 through
June 6, 2014.
• Each school has been assigned a six-week window,
and can conduct testing anytime within that assigned
window.
• Ninety-five percent of student participants will take a
sample of items from both ELA and mathematics.
• The remaining 5 percent of student participants will take
a sample of items in one content area, either ELA or
mathematics.
• All students will complete one performance task in one
content area.
Note: CST, CMA, CAPA, STS, and EAP will be administered during
13
the traditional testing window.
Spring 2014
Smarter Balanced Field Test
TOM TORLAKSON
State Superintendent
of Public Instruction
• Field Test will be computer-based only;
no paper-and-pencil version will be
available.
• Because this is a test of the test, no
results will be reported.
14
Smarter Balanced Field Test
Item Response Types
TOM TORLAKSON
State Superintendent
of Public Instruction
The Smarter Balanced assessment system includes a
variety of item types:
• Selected-Response
• Constructed-Response
• Technology-Enhanced
• Performance Task
Sample items available on the Smarter Balanced
Web page at:
http://www.smarterbalanced.org/sample-items-andperformance-tasks/.
15
Selected-Response Items
TOM TORLAKSON
State Superintendent
of Public Instruction
• In Selected Response items, the students select
from a variety of potential answers – one or
multiple correct responses.
• Multiple choice
• One correct answer
• Multiple correct answers
• Two-part
• Matching tables
• Yes/no
• True/false
16
Constructed-Response Items
TOM TORLAKSON
State Superintendent
of Public Instruction
• Constructed response items require the student
to generate a response rather than select a
response.
• Short constructed-response items may require
test takers to enter a single word, phrase,
sentence, number, or set of numbers.
• Extended constructed-response items require
more elaborate answers and explanations of
reasoning.
• Constructed-response items allow students to
demonstrate their use of complex, analytical, and
thinking skills.
17
Technology-Enhanced Items
TOM TORLAKSON
State Superintendent
of Public Instruction
• Technology-enhanced items take advantage of
computer-based administration to assess a
deeper understanding of content and skills
than would otherwise be possible with
traditional item types.
• Technology-enhanced items include such
responses as:
– editing text
– drawing an object
– dragging and dropping an object
18
Performance Tasks
TOM TORLAKSON
State Superintendent
of Public Instruction
• Performance tasks consist of a variety of
questions and activities related to a single
theme or situation.
• The goals of these activities are to measure
students’ depth of understanding, research
skills, and complexity of analysis, which cannot
be adequately assessed with selected or
constructed-response items.
• Performance tasks encourage students to
apply their knowledge and skills to respond to
real-world problems.
19
Field Test Assessment Times and
Components
TOM TORLAKSON
State Superintendent
of Public Instruction
• The field test is not timed, but is estimated to take
approximately 3.5 hours
• Students taking both ELA and mathematics will complete
three components:
– ELA, approximately 25 questions
– Math, approximately 25 questions
– Performance task in either ELA or mathematics
• Classroom activity to prepare for the performance task
• Students taking either ELA or mathematics will complete two
components:
– Either ELA or mathematics, approximately 50 questions
– One performance task in the same subject as above
• Classroom activity to prepare for the performance task

administered until new alternate assessments are
developed.
