Thinking About
Michigan’s new assessment program beginning in 2014-15:
What will it look & feel like?How will it differ from our past state assessment program (e.g., MEAP/MME)?How will we prepare our students?How will it correspond to our district’s balanced-assessment plan? What changes will we need to make?
4
What do we already know?
2 Types- Smarter Balanced (SBAC) & MI Developed (DRC) Summative- in the Spring (mandatory)
Formative/Interim- in the Fall & Winter (most optional)
SBAC tests & their performance tasks reviewed by all teachers 2 years ago
Practice & pilot tests in district (HS 2013 & Elem 2014)
Aligned to state standards (CC/GLCE/HSCE/DOK)
Computer-adaptive & tech enhanced (SBAC) Tech-enhanced only (MI Developed)
5
New Michigan Assessments:No Longer MEAP, MEAP-Access, Etc.
Smarter-Balanced Assessments (SBAC) 3-8th ELA & Math (CCSS)
MI Developed Assessments (DRC) K-2 ELA & Math (CCSS) 3-7th Science (GLCEs/HSCEs/DOK) 3-8th Social Studies (GLCEs/HSCEs/DOK) High School (MMC Science & Social Studies) High School ELA & Math (being developed)

Smarter-Balanced Assessments
10Sounds like a name for low-fat butter!
Smarter Balanced: The Basics
Math 3-8 & 11th ELA 3-8 & 11th
Embedded Writing (not a stand-alone test)
Computer-Adaptive & Technology- Enhanced Assessments
Smarter-Balanced: Timing
3-8th Grades Math (3.0-3.5 hrs including research/discussion)
Computer-adapted questions Performance tasks (not all on computers)
Writing Embedded ELA (3.5-4.0 hrs including research/discussion)
Computer-adapted questions Performance Task (not all on computers)
Writing Embedded

Selected Response (~1 hour) Performance Task (varies)
13
Smarter-Balanced: Practice for Tests
Click on Practice & Training Tests (2nd top tab). Scroll down to Take Practice & Training Tests. Click on Student Interface Practice & Training. Sign In (as a guest). Select a grade level and click yes. Start Math or ELA Training Test or Start
G3/G4/G5 Math or ELA Performance Test. You may also choose the longer Practice Tests.

Smarter-Balanced: Tech-Literacy
Back & Next icon Middle & right scroll bars Expand & collapse arrows Highlighting & strike through Zoom in & out Pause test Notes & flag icons Calculator Cursor back, forward, & delete Drag & drop Answer in boxes Sound buttons End test & submit buttons Return back to a section(from Lincoln Elementary School)

Smarter Balanced: Tips
Must answer all questions on page before moving to next. Can go back to edit. After pausing 20 min., answers saved & cannot be
changed. Scroll all the way down to see all questions. Answers saved automatically or by clicking on save. Students end test and submit when finished. Headphones & sound need to be working. All “hands on deck” to begin tests. Work on stamina, grit, & perseverance to show best effort.(from Lincoln Elementary School)

MI Interim Assessments: Additional Information
Pilots & Practice on New Test Formats
2012-2013 (Elem Knd- KEA) Spring 2013 (HS- DRC Social Studies) Spring 2014 (Elem 3,4, & 5- DRC SS & SBAC) Spring 2014 (Elem/MS/HS- DRC FI Social Studies) Spring 2014 (MS & HS ACT Aspire)
Purposes- Taken to better understand the tests, check our operating systems, learn about our students’ tech literacy skills, obtain tech grant $$, add to the information collected nationally/state-wide as pilot tests are evaluated, get student data (from some tests), etc.
21
MI Developed Assessments: Timing
Science 3-5, 7, 11th (1.0-1.5 hrs)
Social St 3-5, 8, 11th (0.8-1.5 hrs)
22
MI Developed Assessment:Online Training Tutorials & Practice Tests
Both are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED prior to testing! Look for DRC symbol on our computers. Click on Training or Practice. Select grade level. For Test Practice, select content area– e.g. Social
Studies. Type in user name & password displayed
universally on the screen.
MI Developed Assessments: Other Suggestions
Read the MDE Test Administration Manual for Elementary or Secondary grades at https://mi.drcedirect.com/.
Ensure that the Assessment Building Coordinator (principal) has Student Login Tickets prepared & delivered.
Remember that there are 2-parts to the tests (one ticket for both parts).
If students have practiced prior to taking the tests, the directions & reminders may be better remembered, purposefully used, & less troublesome during the actual testing period. We will also be able to delineate earlier which tech components are causing issues or perhaps enhancing the test layout for students.

Possible Discussion Questions
What are our hopes for students/teachers/parents? Compared to MEAP/MME/MI-Access Online vs. paper and pencil Data quality and feedback time
How will we prepare our students/ourselves? Math & reading fluency Depth of Knowledge Tech literacy skills Stamina & perseverance Performance tasks
What are our expectations concerning these assessments and the district’s future balanced-assessment plan? Will we need NWEA & other assessments? How may this impact progress monitoring? How might this help us review & check for student growth?
