Smarter Balance Sample Items Template聪明的平衡样本项目模板.pptVIP

Beginning October 9, a new page on SmarterB will include information about the sample items and performance tasks. The page will include links to both the ELA/literacy and mathematics sample items. * Users can select mathematics or ELA/literacy items and cycle through them using the next and back buttons on the top right corner of the screen. * Users can view the items in a variety of ways—by grade band and by content claim across grades. * In addition, the sample items can be filtered by item type (technology enhanced and performance tasks) and by themes (connections across grades and difficulty progressions). Connections across grades: The Common Core State Standards include a sequence of concepts that build through the grades in a logical and coherent fashion. These sample items show how the vertical articulation of content in the standards will be evident in Smarter Balanced assessments. Difficulty Progressions: Computer adaptive tests require items that span a wide range of difficulty levels to provide precise measures of what students know and can do. These sample items show the range in difficulty for items designed to measure the same assessment targets. Capturing the full range of item difficulty across assessment targets is essential for creating high quality adaptive tests, and final difficulty estimates for items will be validated through field testing. * Each item also includes metadata: Item name Grade level Content claim Assessment targets Common Core State Standards Comments illustrating the purpose of items and how they differ from traditional assessments Scoring rubrics (downloadable PDF) Text complexity analysis for ELA/literacy items (downloadable PDF) * Selected response and technology enhanced items can be scored automatically. Some constructed-response items and performance tasks can be scored automatically; many will be hand-scored by professionally trained readers. * Smarter Balanced welcomes feedback on the sample items an
