Balanced,  \nConnecticut SAT Day and NGSS Field Test  \nA Report to the Board of Education  \nDr. Susie Da Silva, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction, PK-12  \nPaul Ribeiro, Assistant Principal, DHS  \nOctober 9, 2018  \nOverview    \n◉ Smarter Balanced Assessments (SBA)  \n○ Computer Adaptive Test (CAT): A computer adaptive test adjusts the test to each student by basing the difficulty of future questions on previous answers.  \n○ Purposes of the State Assessment  \n○ Scale Scores, Achievement Levels, Performance Category, & Growth  \n○ District Results (by grade)  \n○ DRG A performance  \n◉ CT Day SAT  \n○ Paper and Pencil test  \n○ District & DRG A Performance  \n◉ NGSS  \n○ Computer-based test (not adaptive during the Field Test 2018)  \n○ Field Test-Spring 2018  \n○ No results or feedback expected  \n SBA: Purposes of the Assessment   \nUseful for these Purposes:  \n• Provide an annual snapshot of student achievement that should be used along with other information, such as class work and other tests, when making educational decisions  \nNot Useful As:  \n• A sole measure of student achievement, program evaluation or school, district, and state accountability systems  \n• The sole source of guidance for curriculum or instruction  \n Purposes of the Assessment   \nNot Useful As:  \nA substitute for a wide variety of other relevant ways to assess student learning, such as:  \n• classroom assessments  \n• teacher observations  \n• student work portfolios  \n• universal screening  \n• frequent progress monitoring  \n• detailed diagnostic assessment or evaluation  \n SBA Achievement Levels    \nFour Achievement Levels  \n●Level 1 = Does not meet the achievement standard  \n●Level 2 = Approaching the achievement standard  \n●Level 3 = Meets the achievement standard  \n●Level 4 = Exceeds the achievement standard  \nSBA Performance Categories,  \n Scale Scores and Achievement   \nLevels  \n• Students also receive a “performance category” for each area of knowledge and skills within a subject  \n• A general indication of students have strengths and weaknesses in their achievement (on SBA) within each subject area  \n• The Smarter Balanced overall scale scores fall along a continuous vertical scale (from approximately 2000 to 3000), these scores can be used to illustrate students’ current level of achievement and their growth over time  \nSBA:Math by Grade % at or above  goal  \n\n| DPS Smarter Balanced performance by grade | Math 15-16 | Math 16-17 | Math 17-18 |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Grade 3 | 82% | 81% |
