Current Activities
 Interim Assessments
 Digital Library
 Preparation for the Summative Assessment
Interim Assessments
• Interim Comprehensive Assessments
(ICAs)
– Assess the same claims and standards
as the summative assessments.
• Interim Assessment Blocks (IABs)
– Assess smaller sets of assessment
targets.
– Address specific content areas.
– Are more flexible.

 ICAs Table of Hand Scoring Requirements by
Subject and Grade
 IABs Table of Hand Scoring Requirements by
Subject and Grade
Examples of Interim Rollout
 Inglewood USD: Administering the ICAs to all
Grade 3-8 and Grade 11 students
 Many districts planning to use the IABs either
before or after the Spring Summative Test
 Most districts administering in order to plan for
use of the Interims in 2015-16
Digital Library
 New Digital Library Help Desk:
855-631-1510
 New Assessment Literacy Modules:
 Purpose: Deepen understanding and use of
formative assessment by the instructional
community
