The ELA and Mathematics assessment will each have two parts. These parts consist of CAT Test (Computer Adaptive Test) and a Performance Tests.  \nCAT Test (Computer Adaptive Test)  \n􀁸 Item Types:  \no Selected Response (Multiple Choice)  \no Technology-Enhanced/Enabled Items  \no Short Constructed Response  \n􀁸 Performance Task  \nThere are several technology skills that can be taught to better prepare students for the Smarter Balanced. These skills include:  \n􀁸 Keyboarding  \n􀁸 Mouse Skills  \n􀁸 Navigation  \n􀁸 Drag & Drop  \nRecommended Teacher Prep  \nIt is recommended that you take the Smarter Balanced Training Test and Practice Test so that you have knowledge of what the students will be required to do.  \n􀁸 Training and Practice Tests  \nRecommended Lesson Schedule:  \nEach SBAC Tech Skills lesson should be 20 minutes in length. You can check the student's understanding and mastery of this skill by asking the three guiding questions provided in each lesson. The following activities target these technology skills, and whenever possible align with the ELA and/or Math CCSS.  \n􀁸 Introduction by teacher about the day’s activities and expectations  \n􀁸 Keyboarding activity (15 minutes)  \n􀁸 Lesson (20 minutes)  \no Mouse Skills  \no Navigation  \no Drag & Drop  \n􀁸 Closure  \nLessons and Resources:  \nBelow are the associated teacher resources.  \nRecommended Timeline:  \n\n| Lesson | Lesson Overview |\n| --- | --- |\n| 1: Week of Dec. 8th | 1.
