SBAC Technology Skills and test Prep
What is the SBAC Test?
Smarter Balanced is a state-led consortium who developed assessments that align to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) that accurately measure student progress toward college and career readiness. The Consortium consists of educators, researchers, policymakers, and community groups to help all students thrive in a knowledge-driven global economy.
The Smarter Balanced assessment system is a computer adaptive test (CAT) for both the mandatory summative assessment and the optional interim assessments. Computer adaptive testing adjusts to a student’s ability by basing the difficulty of future questions on previous answers, providing more accurate measurement of student achievement, particularly for high and low-performing students.
The bottom line is that our students need to be prepared. This test requires many technology skills, in addition to students needing to be proficient at word processing. These skills are currently being taught during the computer rotation at Doral-Pebble. This website was created for students and parents to have resources and websites to use to allow students to prepare for the SBAC assessments..
