The Big Picture
“The future belongs to a very different kind of person with a very different kind of mind – creators and empathizers, pattern recognizers and meaning makers. These people…will now reap society’s richest rewards and share its greatest joys.”
Daniel H. Pink, A Whole New Mind

But are we modeling the collaboration that we need to be teaching kids?

Student populations are transient.

"The world is small now, and we're not just competing with students in our county or across the state. We are
competing with the world," said Robert Kosicki, who graduated from a Georgia high school this year after
transferring from Connecticut and having to repeat classes because the curriculum was so different. "This is a move
away from the time when a student can be punished for the location of his home or the depth of his father's pockets."
Excerpt from Fox News, Associated Press. (June 2, 2010) States join to establish 'Common Core' standards for high school graduation.

Common Core State Standards
• Define the knowledge and skills students need for college and career
• Developed voluntarily and cooperatively by states; more than 40 states have adopted
• Provide clear, consistent standards in English language arts/literacy and mathematics

The Assessment Challenge
How do we get from here... ...to here?
All studentsleave high school
college and career ready
Common Core State Standards
specify K-12 expectations for
college and career readiness
...and what can an assessment system
do to help?

Concerns with Today's Statewide Assessments
• Each state bears the burden of test development; no economies of scale
Each state pays for its own assessments
• Students in many states leave high school unprepared for college or careerBased on state standards
• Inadequate measures of complex skills and deep understandingHeavy use of multiple choice
• Tests cannot be used to inform instruction or affect program decisions
Results delivered long after tests are given
• Difficult to interpret meaning of scores; concerns about access and fairness
Accommodations for special education and ELL students vary
• Costly, time consuming, and challenging to maintain securityMost administered on paper

• Item difficulty based on student responsesTailored for Each
Student
• Larger item banks mean that not all students receive the same questionsIncreased Security
• Fewer questions compared to fixed form testsShorter Test Length
• Turnaround time is significantly reducedFaster Results
• GMAT, GRE, COMPASS (ACT), Measures of Academic Progress (MAP)Mature Technology

Responding to Common Misconceptions about Adaptive Testing
• Can students return to previous questions if the test is adaptive?
• Will the test give students questions from higher and lower grades if they are performing very high or very low? – Do all adaptive tests work this way?
![Page 19: A Smarter Balanced System for Supporting Mathematics Teaching and Learning](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568164cb550346895dd6eadb/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
K-12 Teacher Involvement
• Support for implementation of the Common Core State Standards (2011-12)
• Write and review items/tasks for the pilot test (2012-13) and field test (2013-14)
• Development of teacher leader teams in each state (2012-14)
• Evaluate formative assessment practices and curriculum tools for inclusion in digital library (2013-14)
• Score portions of the interim and summative assessments (2014-15 and beyond)
![Page 20: A Smarter Balanced System for Supporting Mathematics Teaching and Learning](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568164cb550346895dd6eadb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Higher Education Collaboration
• Involved 175 public and 13 private systems/institutions of higher education in application
• Two higher education representatives on the Executive Committee
• Higher education lead in each state and higher education faculty participating in work groups
• Goal: The high school assessment qualifies students for entry-level, credit-bearing coursework in college or university

Performance Tasks
The use of performance measures has been found
to increase the intellectual challenge in
classrooms and to support higher-quality
teaching.

Universal Tools, Designated Supports, and Accommodations
• Universal tools are access features of the assessment that are either provided as digitally-delivered components of the test administration system or separate from it. Universal tools are available to all students based on student preference and selection.
• Designated supports for the Smarter Balanced assessments are those features that are available for use by any student for whom the need has been indicated by an educator (or team of educators with parent/guardian and student).
• Accommodations are changes in procedures or materials that increase equitable access during the Smarter Balanced assessments. They are available for students for whom there is documentation of the need for the accommodations on an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or 504 accommodation plan.

Grade 7 Example
• In grades 6 and 7, proportional relationships are a crucial pivot from multiplicative reasoning to functional thinking; sets stage for 8.F.
• Meanwhile, probability in grade 7 has potentially misleading grain size—uses almost twice as many words as for proportional relationships standards.

Shift #2: Coherence Think Across Grades, and Link to Major Topics Within Grades
• Carefully connect the learning within and across grades so that students can build new understanding on foundations built in previous years.
• Begin to count on solid conceptual understanding of core content and build on it. Each standard is not a new event, but an extension of previous learning.

Slide 45
Student A drags three of shape B, which is equal in area to the shaded region. This student probably has good understanding of cluster 5.NF.B he knows that 3 x 3/2 is equal to 3 iterations of 3/2. Calculation of the product is not necessary because of the sophisticated understanding of multiplication.
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to multiply and divide fractions.
![Page 46: A Smarter Balanced System for Supporting Mathematics Teaching and Learning](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568164cb550346895dd6eadb/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Slide 46
Student B reasons that 3 x 3/2 = 9/2 = 4 ½. She correctly reasons that since the shaded area is equal to 3/2, the square is equal to one whole, and drags 4 wholes plus half of one whole to represent the mixed number.
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to multiply and divide fractions.
Note that unlike the previous chain of reasoning, this requires that the student determines how much of the shaded area is equal to 1.
![Page 47: A Smarter Balanced System for Supporting Mathematics Teaching and Learning](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568164cb550346895dd6eadb/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Slide 47
Student C multiplies 3 x 3/2 = 9/2. She reasons that since the shaded area is 3/2, this is equal to 3 pieces of size ½. Since 9/2 is 9 pieces of size ½, she drags nine of the smallest figure to create her model.
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to multiply and divide fractions.
This chain of reasoning links nicely back to the initial development of 3/2 in 3.NF.1 “understand a fraction a/b as the quantity formed by a parts of size 1/b, illustrating the coherence in the standards across grades 3-5.

Grade 3 – Number Line
3.NF.A.3b Express whole numbers as fractions, and recognize fractions that are equivalent to whole numbers. Examples: Express 3 in the form 3 = 3/1; recognize that 6/1 = 6; locate 4/4 and 1 at the same point of a number line diagram.

• Students can use appropriate concepts and procedures for application even when not prompted to do so.
• Teachers provide opportunities at all grade levels for students to apply math concepts in “real world” situations, recognizing this means different things in K-5, 6-8, and HS.
• Teachers in content areas outside of math, particularly science, ensure that students are using grade-level-appropriate math to make meaning of and access science content.
