• It was required by the Federal Government that the Common Core Standards be adopted in full.
• 15% of additional standards could be added by each state.
• In Math, California’s 15% is almost completely taken up by the insertion of 8th grade Algebra Standards 6

What is Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT)?
• Adapts to the student’s ability level• Assessment “engine” delivers short series of
moderately difficult grade items• Depending on student’s initial performance
delivers items that are either more or less difficult
• Process continues until student’s performance level is determined.

• The CMA will be dissolved.• Students with severe cognitive
disabilities: (1%) are not assessed with the SBAC
assessments and will still take the California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA).

Item Types• Selected-response• Constructed-response
o Complex thinking skills, comparison and contrast, cause and effect, patterns, conflicting points of view, categorizing, summarizing, interpreting information
• Extended constructed-responseo Assess knowledge and skills not easily accessed with selected
response or constructed response (e.g. extended written response)• Performance Eventso Each performance task could take place across more than one
sitting of 45-60 minutes each• Technology-enhanced
o Requires productive use of technology

Summative Assessments• Mandatory comprehensive assessment in grades
3 – 8 and 11 that supports accountability and measures growth
• Assesses the full range of CCSS in English language arts and mathematics
• Unless state law is changed, the CAHSEE will remain a graduation requirement.
• All other assessments (i.e. 2nd grade testing, end of course exams) would need to be developed and paid for by the state.
