Smarter Balanced Interim Assessments

Wednesday, September 28, 2016

Webinar presented by OPI and Measured Progress

Overview

The interim assessments are one component

of the Smarter Balanced assessment system

and are designed to support teaching and

student learning throughout the year and

provide information to inform instruction.

The items are developed under the same

conditions, protocols, and review procedures

as those used in the summative assessments.

Interim Basics Available on demand

No cost to schools

May be used in grade levels other than

enrolled grades

Same accessibility options as the end-of-the

year summative

No limit to the number of times they can test

Non-secure item bank: educators may

access questions and student responses 5

Two Types

IABs (Interim Assessment Blocks)

Small sets of related concepts

Provide detailed information for instructional purposes

Electronically scored (except some performance tasks which

require local hand scoring)

ICAs (Interim Comprehensive Assessments)

Same content as summative on a smaller scale

Two parts

Electronically scored section

Performance tasks which required local hand scoring

Both parts must be completed before scoring and reporting

6

Recommended Steps for Use

After loading the secure browser

IABs (except performance tasks)

IAB performance tasks (after hand scoring training)

ICAs (after hand scoring training)

7

Examples of the Use of IABs

− A teacher recently changed his instruction

to emphasize reading informational text. A

block is used to augment his formative

information regarding the degree to which

students learned the skill he emphasized.

− A team of teachers uses a block to become

informed about how a group of students is

performing in geometry before and after

instruction.
