Smarter Balanced is 1-1 on adding new members this year (IN will use item bank; IA governor over-ruled participation) .  \nMost states are ‘going at it alone’ again, especially with grade 3-8 tests…  \nThe majority of states are working with AIR (10), DRC (6) or other vendors (16) .  \nSAT and ACT are on the rise in high schools, including in consortia states…  \nMore states are moving to using SAT or ACT as their HS accountability test—now 13 states total, of which 6 are Smarter Balanced or PARCC consortia members—despite concerns about whether how well these tests measure state learning standards.  \nExperts are worried about these trends…  \nAs more states venture out on their own or choose off-the-shelf tests, experts we interviewed for this project question quality, standards alignment, comparability and vendor capacity.  \nKey: Throughout these slides, PARCC participating states are indicated in orange typeface and Smarter Balanced participating states are indicated in blue typeface  \nNote: See research methodology and list of expert interviewees on slide 17  3   \nWhat is a high-quality test? In 2014, CCSSO articulated criteria for state leaders to use in making sure their assessments matched the depth, breadth and rigor of newer state academic standards (which now emphasize problem-solving, critical thinking and writing)  \nCCSSO encourages state officials to use these criteria as “they develop procurements and evaluate options for high-quality state summative assessments aligned to college-and career-readiness standards.” Researchers, evaluators and advocates also have used these criteria to  \nindependently review different summative assessment options in the marketplace.  \nA  \nMeet Overall  \nAssessment Goals and Ensure Technical Quality  \n􀂃 A.1 Indicating progress toward college and career readiness  \n􀂃 A.2 Ensuring that assessments are valid for required and intended purposes  \n􀂃 A.3 Ensuring that assessments are reliable  \n􀂃 A.4 Ensuring that assessments are designed and implemented to yield valid and consistent test score interpretations within and across years  \n􀂃 A.5 Providing accessibility to all students, including English learners and students with disabilities  \n􀂃 A.6 Ensuring transparency of test design and expectations  \n􀂃 A.7 Meeting all requirements for data privacy and ownership  \nB  \nAlign to Standards  \n– English Language Arts/Literacy  \n􀂃 B.1 Assessing student reading and writing achievement in both ELA and literacy  \n􀂃 B.2 Focusing on complexity of texts  \n􀂃 B.3 Requiring students to read closely and use evidence from texts  \n􀂃 B.4 Requiring a range of cognitive demand  \n􀂃 B.5 Assessing writing  \n􀂃 B.6 Emphasizing vocabulary and language skills  \n􀂃 B.7 Assessing research and inquiry  \n􀂃 B.8 Assessing speaking and listening  \n􀂃 B.9 Ensuring high-quality items and a variety of item types  \nC  \nAlign to Standards-Mathematics  \n􀂃 C.1 Focusing strongly on the content most needed for success","cbCainKIj8ttofX9","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainKIj8ttofX9","pdf",1502845,21,"English","# The State of State Assessments\n## Consortium vs. non-consortium approaches\n## High-quality test criteria (CCSSO)\n## Assessment goals and technical quality\n## Alignment to standards (ELA and Mathematics)\n## Valuable reporting and administration best practices\n## State-specific criteria and sources","[{\"question\":\"What proportion of states still use consortia test items, and what does the document say about test quality?\",\"answer\":\"Forty percent of states are still using consortia test items.
