Smarter Balanced offers different types of Interim Assessments based on the granularity of the content they assess.  \nInterim Comprehensive Assessments (ICAs) measure similar content to the summative assessment and may be helpful for determining the knowledge and skills of students who are new to the district or the state. ICAs can also provide information about students’ knowledge and skills after a significant period of instruction.  \nInterim Assessment Blocks (IABs) and Focused Interim Assessment Blocks (FIABs) are assessments teachers can use throughout the school year to assess smaller bundles of content. They are intended to provide educators and students the ability to check where they are at that moment in time, and educators can use results to determine next steps for instruction. Since the IABs are more granular than the ICAs, educators can use IABs and FIABs during the school year more consistently with the sequence of their instruction.  \nFocused IABs (FIABs) assess no more than three assessment targets to provide educators with amore detailed understanding of student learning.  \nEach IAB and FIAB is associated with a Connections Playlist that supports teachers in determining instructional next steps to help students based on their performance on the assessment. The playlists include links to instructional resources in Tools for Teachers that support the Formative Assessment process by providing tools, resources, and instructional strategies to use in the classroom.  \nInterim Assessment Items  \nWays in which Interim items are the same as the Summative items:  \n▪ All items were developed using the same process/criteria as Summative items  \n▪ Assess Hawai ʻ i Common Core Standards  \n▪ Use Universal Design principles and accessibility resources  \n▪ Provide evidence of student progress towards meeting the Hawai ʻ i Common Core Standards in English Language Arts (ELA)/Literacy and Mathematics  \nWays in which Interim items are different from Summative items:  \n▪ Separate, open, semi-secure item pool  \n▪ Assessments are fixed form (all students see the same questions and will see them again if the assessment for each subject is taken multiple times)  \nInterim Comprehensive Assessments (ICAs)  \n▪ Provide for five opportunities per school year  \n▪ Use the same test blueprint as the full-length Summative Assessments administered prior to Spring 2021 in Hawaii, and assess the same claims (content areas within a subject) and standards  \n➢ Note that the ICAs continue to follow the full-length summative CAT blueprint; they do not use the Smarter Summative Assessments shortened CAT blueprint in use in Hawai’i beginning in Spring 2021.  \n▪ There are ELA/Literacy and Math ICAs for grades 3 through 11, now including grades 9 and  \n10. These ICAs consist of two components for ELA/Literacy: a CAT, and a Performance Task (PT), both of which must be completed to receive a score. For Mathematics, there is no PT component.  \n➢ Note that for the grades 9 and 10 ELA ICA all of the items are the same as the grade 11 ICA. For Math, the grades 9 and 10 ICAs are the same fixed form and both contain 26 of the 32 items found on the grade 11 ICA. However, the grades 9 and 10 ICAs will be scored based upon grade level cu","cbCaiggS9j0Yo8lT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiggS9j0Yo8lT","pdf",378379,"English","# Overview\n## Interim Assessments Purpose\n## Interim Assessment Types\n# Interim Assessment Items\n## Similarities to Summative Items\n## Differences from Summative Items\n# Interim Comprehensive Assessments (ICAs)\n## Opportunities Per School Year\n## Grade Coverage and Components\n# Interim Assessment Blocks (IABs) and Focused IABs (FIABs)\n## Opportunities and Target Granularity\n## Reporting Categories\n# Interim Assessment Security\n## Intended Use and Restrictions","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of Smarter Balanced Interim Assessments?\",\"answer\":\"They provide feedback about student performance throughout the year to inform and improve instruction.\"},{\"question\":\"How do Interim Assessment items differ from Summative items?\",\"answer\":\"Interim items use a separate, open, semi-secure item pool and fixed form, where students see the same questions if the assessment is taken multiple times.\"},{\"question\":\"What reporting results are provided for IABs and FIABs?\",\"answer\":\"Results are reported as “Below Standard,” “At/Near Standard,” and “Above Standard.”\"}]","Smarter Balanced Interim Assessments - 2023-2024 School Year Fact Sheet | PDF",1791063691]
