Virtually every state uses some form of these assessments to help gauge student achievement and readiness for college and career.  \nThe last decade has seen the assessment stakes raised to new levels, first through federal enactment of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) in 2002, and then with a state-led effort to establish a common set of educational standards beginning in 2009, known as the Common Core State Standards.  \nCommon Core State Standards  \nThe Common Core State Standards (CCSS) articulate the English language arts and mathematics knowledge and skills that students need to graduate. They were created through a joint effort of the National Governors Association and Council of Chief State School Officers; 45 states and the District of Columbia have adopted them.  \nCCSS are expected to strongly influence the direction of curriculum, encourage development of instructional materials aligned to them, and lead to the implementation of comprehensive assessment systems to measure student performance against them.  \nCommon Core Assessments  \nComprehensive assessment systems are the focus of much national attention and federal investment. The goal is for the nation’s public schools to transition to a new set of “next generation” online assessments in English language arts and mathematics that align to CCSS, beginning with the 2014–2015 school year.  \nTo accomplish this, the federal government has invested $370 million in two major state consortia—the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) and the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC)—as well as three smaller consortia focused on alternative assessments for student with special needs: Assessment Services Supporting English Learners Through Technology Systems; Dynamic Learning Maps Alternate Assessment System Consortium; and National Center and State Collaborative.  \nPARCC and SBAC  \nAssessments developed by PARCC and SBAC will serve the vast majority of U.S. public school students. Both consortia are designing assessment systems—a set of tools schools can use to identify whether students from grades 3–12 are on track for postsecondary success; where learning gaps exist; and how to address them before students enter college or the workforce.  \nBoth PARCC and SBAC assessments will be administered on an interim and summative basis. However, their approach to assessment differs significantly. PARCC is developing a ”fixed form”system, in which all testing questions are identical. SBAC is developing a computer adaptive system that adjusts the difficulty of questions based on a student’s response.  \nTwenty-one states and the District of Columbia are members of PARCC, encompassing 25 million students. Twenty-four states are members of SBAC, encompassing 19 million students. (North Dakota and Pennsylvania are members of both consortia.)  \nPARCC and SBAC pilot testing begins during the 2012–2013 school year, with a move toward full operational implementation in 2014–2015.  \nTechnology in Common Core Assessments  \nAs indicated, the new Common Core assessments will be delivered online. This means schools must have the hardware, software, and infrastructure necessary to support security and compatibility requirements in place for deployment in 2014.  \nPARCC and SBAC have gone to great lengths to survey and understand technology readiness in schools today. They have also designed technical specifications that accommodate the current installed base and build toward the future. The consortia’s expectation is that assessment development will mirror technological advancement and that online assessments will evolve over time.  \nTo that end, both consortia are identifying minimum and recommended technical specifications for 2014 and beyond.
