The new tests, which were developed by the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium with the help of educators from across the country, gauge how well students are mastering the standards—and ultimately how ready they are for the next grade and for college careers after graduation.  \nWHY NEW ASSESSMENTS?  \nTeachers and principals talk a lot about tests, or assessments, which are used to measure students’ academic knowledge and skills. This document highlights the end-of-year summative assessments, which judge (1) student progress toward mastering state standards and (2) program and school effectiveness. For other assessments used, see box at right.  \nNew summative assessments will address longstanding concerns that parents, educators, and employers have had about current state assessments—namely that they measure ability to memorize facts, rather than the skills to think critically and apply knowledge.  \nMore than 200 colleges and universities across the country have agreed to use students’ scores from the Smarter Balanced high school test as part of college placement. This means that high school students who take the test in 11th grade have an opportunity to jumpstart their college coursework and bypass remedial courses.  \nFor more information, and a list of participating colleges, visit  \n[smarterbalanced.org/higher-education](smarterbalanced.org/higher-education)  \n\n| Types of assessments |\n| --- |\n| Classroom-based: Individual tests given by teachers as needed throughout the year to assess knowledge and skills in specific areas |\n| Interim: The same test repeated at set intervals to measure student growth overtime |\n| Summative: End-of-year assessments administered by the state to measure student performance against a common set of standards\u003Cbr>This document addresses summative assessments. |\n\nTHIS GUIDE INCLUDES:  \n■ Overview of the Smarter Balanced assessments, which measure student proficiency against more rigorous standards  \n■ Overview of accountability for students, teachers and schools  \n■ Additional resources for parents  \nWhat is different about the new summative assessments?  \nThe new assessments for English language arts and mathematics will enable educators to deepen their understanding of student progress from grade to grade—and just as importantly, identify any gaps in progress so they can address them well before students enter college or the workforce. More than 4,700 educators have contributed to the development and continuous improvement of Smarter Balanced assessments as a resource to improve teaching and learning.  \nNew English language arts assessments:  \n■ Ask students to read more complex fiction and non-fiction texts and use evidence from these texts to answer questions, make inferences and present persuasive arguments  \n■ Emphasize literacy across all subjects, not just English  \n■ Test writing at every grade level  \nNew mathematics assessments:  \n■ Go beyond multiple-choice questions and present students with multi-step problems, conceptual questions and real-world applications  \n■ Ask students to not only get answers correct, but also explain how they arrived at those answers  \n■ Cover fewer topics in greater depth, focusing on the most critical areas  \nBenefits of new assessments:  \n■ Scores provide students, parents and teachers with insight into college and career readiness early enough to address issues and provide extra support where needed.  \n■ The new assessments are designed to provide accurate measures of achievement and growth for all students, including those with disabilities and English language learners—allowing these students to perform to their potential. The goal is to make the assessments more accessible and to produce results that are valid for all students. The intention is not to give any students an advantage over other students.
