Recommendation 1 Develop and administer three state computer-based summative assessments in History/Social Science in elementary, middle and high school. • Middle school - inclusive of geography • High school - inclusive of civics • Innovative item types inclusive of constructed
response items to ensure the measurement of critical thinking skills and analysis.

Recommendation 2 The CDE shall provide state-supported formative assessment resources that are aligned with California Next Generation Science Standards (CA NGSS) in the Digital Library. • Commission, collect, and vet formative assessment
resources (e.g., rubrics, interdisciplinary classroom activities, performance tasks) for inclusion into the Digital Library (DL).
• Utilize trained State Network of Educators to vet resources, as well as measurement experts as appropriate.
• Consult with Smarter Balanced regarding the inclusion of CA NGSS resources in the DL.

Recommendation 3 The CDE shall vet state-supported resources and tools that support implementation of a comprehensive assessment system and provide those resources for local use. • Extensive stakeholder feedback supports the need to
begin the vetting of assessment resources and tools (e.g., rubrics, classroom activities, performance tasks, assessments) in several content areas.
• Potential for U.S. Department of Education (ED) state assessment audit grant assuming the grant allows for local assessment audits.
• If the grant is not available for this purpose, the CDE shall utilize a survey to prioritize the collection and vetting of other content area. 7

Recommendation 4
Provide regional assessment support to schools and districts on the implementation of the comprehensive assessment tools and resources. • Collaborate with a regional network as a means to
provide localized support and professional development to schools and districts.
• Support might be conducted via the already existing Regional Assessment Network.
• CDE would provide presentation material and training for the regional network to support schools and districts.
