For each grade and subject, this document provides a list of interim assessments available for the 2022–23 school year. Find more information about the content covered by the various interim assessments at contentexplorer. [smarterbalanced.org](smarterbalanced.org).  \n©2022 The Regents of the University of California | Rev. 10/24/22  \n1  \nTypes of Interim Assessments  \nSmarter Balanced offers different types of interim assessments based on the granularity of the content.  \nInterim Comprehensive Assessments (ICAs) are designed to measure a broader set of content than Interim Assessment Blocks (IABs) and provide a high-level overview of student performance in the same way as summative assessments. ICAs are built on similar blueprints to the full-form summative assessments. The ICAs may also be helpful as a source of information if a student is new to the state and educational records are not available, when prioritizing the allocation of  \nadditional instructional support, and as a mid-year progress check.  \nInterim Assessment Blocks (IABs) are assessments teachers can use throughout the school year to assess smaller bundles of content than ICAs. They are intended to provide educators and students the ability to check student performance at any given moment in time, and educators can use results to determine next steps for instruction. IABs assess between three and eight assessment targets. Since the IABs are more granular than the ICAs, educators can use IABs during the school year more consistently and frequently within the sequence of their curricula. There are typically 10 to 18 items on IABs.  \nFocused IABs assess no more than three assessment targets to provide educators a more detailed understanding of student learning. There are typically 10 to 15 items on Focused IABs.  \nThe ICAs, IABs, and Focused IABs draw from the same bank of interim items and performance tasks. Test questions are developed using the same rigorous methods as those items found on the summative assessment.  \nEach IAB and Focused IAB is associated with a Connections  Playlist that supports teachers as they determine next instructional steps for helping students based on their performance on the assessment. The playlists include links to instructional resources in Tools for Teachers that support the formative assessment process by providing tools, resources, instructional strategies, and accessibility strategies to use in the classroom.  \nINTERIM ASSESSMENTS AT A GLANCE  \nInterim Comprehensive Assessments  \nAssess a broad range of targets,  \nsimilar to the summative Examples:  \n• Grade 3 ELA  \n• Grade 3 Math  \nInterim Assessment Blocks  \nAssess 3–8 targets in ELA/literacy or Math  \nExamples:  \n• Grade 3 ELA, Read Literary Texts  \n• Grade 3 Math, Operations and Algebraic Thinking  \nFocused In","cbCaia8NtJ3Da38I","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaia8NtJ3Da38I","pdf",1066405,"English","# Types of Interim Assessments\n## Interim Assessments at a Glance\n## Interim Comprehensive Assessments (ICAs)\n## Interim Assessment Blocks (IABs)\n## Focused Interim Assessment Blocks\n## 2022–23 ELA/Literacy Interim Assessments","[{\"question\":\"What are the main types of 2022–23 interim assessments in Smarter Balanced?\",\"answer\":\"Smarter Balanced offers Interim Comprehensive Assessments (ICAs), Interim Assessment Blocks (IABs), and Focused IABs.
