Balanced Assessment 3rd Grade ELA  \nAs 2015 approaches and we transition to the Smarter Balanced Assessments, many teachers and administrators have been asking for information. What is the implementation timeline? What kinds of items will be on the test? What do assessment items look like? How are the tests scored? How will technology be utilized? While not every detail is known, information is available.  \nFirst, an implementation time line:  \nSMARTER Balanced Summative Assessment Development Timeline  \n\n|  | June 2010 |\n| --- | --- |\n\nCommon  \nCore State Standards (CAS)  \nReleased  \nFrom [http://www.smarterbalanced.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/TaskItemSpecifications/ItemSpecifications/GeneralItemSpecifications. pdf](http://www.smarterbalanced.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/TaskItemSpecifications/ItemSpecifications/GeneralItemSpecifications. pdf)  \nItem Types  \nSBAC assessments are made up of four item types: Selected-Response, Constructed-Response, Technology-Enhanced, and Performance Task. A description of those items follows.  \nSelected-Response Items (SR)  \nTraditionally known as Multiple Choice, selected-response items include a stimulus and stem followed by three to five options from which a student is directed to choose only one.  \nConstructed-Response Items (CR)  \nThe main purpose of a constructed-response item is to address targets and claims that are of greater complexity. They ask students to develop answers without suggested answer choices.  \nTechnology-enhanced Items/Tasks (TE)  \nTechnology-enhanced items can provide evidence for ELA practices that could not be as reliably obtained from traditional SRs and CRs. Technology-enhanced items may stand alone or may bea tool used as part of the Performance Task and/or Constructed-Response items. Several TE template specifications have been designed for use in the ELA domain, including reordering text, selecting and changing text, selecting text, and selecting from drop-down menus.  \nPerformance Tasks ( PT)  \nThe ELA Performance Tasks focus on reading, writing, speaking and listening, and research claims. They measure capacities such as depth of understanding, interpretive and analytical ability, basic recall, synthesis, and research. They may take place over time.  \nClaims  \nThe Smarter Balanced summative assessments in ELA are designed to measure the full range of student abilities in the Common Core State Standards or Core Academic Standards (CAS) for language arts and literacy. Evidence will be gathered in support of four major claims: whether students can (1) Read Analytically, (2) Write Effectively, (3) Speak and Listen Purposefully, and (4) Conduct Research. Students will receive an overall ELA composite score. For the enhanced assessment, students will receive a score for each of the four major claim areas. (Speaking isnot part of the summative assessment, but may be part of the interim assessment. )  \nClaim 1 – Students can read closely and analytically to comprehend a range of increasingly complex literary and informational texts.  \nClaim 2 – Students can produce effective and well-grounded writing for a range of purposes and audiences.  \nClaim 3 – Students can employ effective speaking and listening skills for a range of purposes and audiences.  \nClaim 4 – Students can engage in research/inquiry to investigate topics, and to analyze, integrate, and present information.  \nGlossary  \nDistracter: the incorrect response options to an SR item.  \nDistracter Analysis: the item writer‘s analysis of the options or rationale for inclusion of specific options.  \nItem: the entire item, including the stimulus, question/ prompt, answer/options, scoring criteria, and metadata.  \nKey: the correct response(s) to an item.  \nOptions: the responses to a selected-response (SR) item from which the student selects one or more answers.  \nScoring Rubric: the descriptions for each score point for an item/task that scores more than one point for a correct r","cbCailuhkHtpKMR2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailuhkHtpKMR2","pdf",921818,83,"English","# SMARTER Balanced Assessment 3rd Grade ELA\n## Implementation timeline\n## Item types and technology-enhanced tasks\n## Claims and scoring framework\n## Glossary terms\n## Sample item (ELA.03.CR.1.04.019)","[{\"question\":\"What is the implementation timeline for SMARTER Balanced ELA assessments?\",\"answer\":\"The document provides an implementation timeline, including a development reference for June 2010 and notes about release timing for common components.\"},{\"question\":\"What item types are included in the SMARTER Balanced ELA assessment?\",\"answer\":\"It includes four item types: Selected-Response, Constructed-Response, Technology-Enhanced items/tasks, and Performance Tasks.\"},{\"question\":\"How are ELA claims measured in the summative assessment?\",\"answer\":\"The summative assessment gathers evidence for four major claims: read analytically, write effectively, speak and listen purposefully, and conduct research, with an overall ELA composite score and enhanced scores by claim area.\"}]","SMARTER Balanced Assessment 3rd Grade ELA - Items Overview - Implementation Timeline | PDF",1790991985,209]
