This year students in grades 5 and 8 will participate in a pilot of the new CA Science Test.  \nThese assessments are part of the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) System. Results from these assessments are just one piece of information to help teachers and parents understand how well a student is progressing towards mastery of the knowledge and skills needed for success in future coursework.  \nHere are some suggestions to help you better understand what your child will be tested on and how you can prepare your child for the assessments.  \n􀀹 FIND OUT THE FACTS. To start, watch for communication from your child’s school regarding the dates students will take the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments (SBAC) . Students usually take the ELA and mathematics tests on different days. Since the test includes questions that measure critical thinking and problem solving they do take longer than “fill in the bubble” tests given on paper. However, the tests are untimed, so students will have plenty of time to finish. For more information about the SBAC tests or scheduling, talk with your child’s teacher and principal.  \n􀀹 EXPLORE AT THE SBAC PRACTICE TEST. This will help you better understand the types of questions your child will be answering. You may want to walk through the test with your child to help familiarize him or her with the test format and features and answer any questions. To see a practice test, visit the California Department of Education’s (CDE’s) Smarter Balanced Practice Tests Web page at [http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sa/practicetest.asp](http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sa/practicetest.asp).  \n􀀹 KNOW WHAT YOUR CHILD SHOULD BE LEARNING IN ELA AND MATHEMATICS. To discover the learning expectations of your child’s grade level Language Arts and Math, explore at the CDE’s Parent Guides to Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments (SBAC) at [http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/ca/caasppssrinfo.asp](http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/ca/caasppssrinfo.asp. The guides outline the)[. The guides outline the](http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/ca/caasppssrinfo.asp. The guides outline the) skills and knowledge your child is expected to learn each year and include sample test items.  \n􀀹 USE YOUR CHILD’S TEST RESULTS FROM LAST YEAR TO IDENTIFY AREAS WHERE HE OR SHE MIGHT NEED ADDITIONAL SUPPORT. Talk with your child’s teacher to see what types of school supplemental activities or online resources are available for use at home too. Explore free online resources and activities that match your child’s performance in both subjects, such as “Be a Learning Hero Skill Builder” at [http://bealearninghero.org/skill-builder](http://bealearninghero.org/skill-builder) or “Khan Academy” at  \n[https://www.khanacademy.org](https://www.khanacademy.org)  \n􀀹 PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE! Homework is a great way to reinforce the skills and concepts your child learns every day in the classroom. Tools and resources to support parents in reinforcing the knowledge and skills student are expected to learn at each grade level in Language Arts and Math are available at [http://testscoreguide.org/ca/](http://testscoreguide.org/ca/)  \nAdapted from California Department of Education March 2017","cbCaii7eNuwA8i9v","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaii7eNuwA8i9v","pdf",226500,"English","# 5 Ways You Can Be Prepared\n## Find Out the Facts\n## Explore the SBAC Practice Test\n## Know What Your Child Should Be Learning\n## Use Last Year’s Results for Support\n## Practice!
