Interim assessments provide teachers with an additional tool that measures students’ mastery of specific content and skills aligned to the Connecticut Core Standards for English language arts (ELA) and mathematics and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).

2024年8月6日 · What Interim Assessment Blocks (IABs) are offered? Math IABs assess specific concepts. These concepts are directly related to the domains at each grade level. The Connecticut Core Standards (CCS) for Mathematics require that mathematical content and mathematical practices are connected.

2020年8月20日 · Check student progress throughout the year and develop instructional next steps with these flexible benchmark tests for use in grades 3-8 and HS.

Our assessment system provides accurate measures of achievement and growth toward college and career readiness benchmarks while challenging students to think critically and solve real-world problems. colleges across the country use Smarter Balanced test scores to determine college course placement.

Assessment Blocks (IAB), and Focused Interim Assessment Blocks (FIAB). Figure 1 describes the number of assessed targets and examples of ICAs, current IABs and FIABs

The Smarter Balanced Interim Assessment Blocks (IABs) are one type of interim assessment being made available by the Consortium; the other types are the Interim Comprehensive Assessment (ICAs) which are similar in structure and follow the same blueprint as the summative assessment, and the Focused Interim Assessment Blocks (FIABs) which are snap...

Practice tests, used in all Smarter Balanced states and territories, are available in grades 3-8 and high school. They are similar in format and structure to the actual test and include about 30 questions. Each state and territory has their own practice test, so be sure to use the one where you live (see the list on the right).
