sciencepractices in the context of disciplinary core ideas and crosscuttingconcepts.This poses a significant design challenge.  \n▶ Multi-component tasks that make use of a variety of response formats will be bestsuited for this.  \n▶ Selected-response questions,short and extended constructed response questions,and performance tasks can all be used,but should be carefully designed to ensurethat they measure the intended construct and support the intended inference.  \n2.Students will need multiple and varied assessment opportunitiesto demonstrate their proficiencies with the NGSS performanceexpectations.  \n# Next Generation Science StandardsImplementation Time Line\n\n*Tentative Dates        \nLegend:  \nCAST -California Science Test  \nCAA-California Alternate Assessments

\n·Emphasize importance of group-level results topromote improvements to teaching and learning.  \n·Provide models of high quality,CA NGSS-alignedassessment items.  \n·Create incentives for schools to provide scienceinstruction in every grade,not just in testedgrades  \n·Measure the range and depth of NGSSperformance expectations by leveraging thestate's distinctly large student population.  \n·Minimize testing time and costs.  \n# CA NGSS Design Features (continued)\n\n·This is a two-stage adaptive assessment.  \n·Uses partial matrix sampling of content  \nTOM TORLAKSON  \nState
