Starting in Spring 2015,
Michigan will implement the new assessment system from the Smarter BalancedAssessment Consortium. We will use these assessments for our federal
accountability in Math and ELA for grades 3-8 and 11.
A successful implementation
of the new assessment system requires planning on all levels: district, school,
and classroom. Educational leaders should attend this one-day session to
explore and become familiar with the new assessment framework and to begin to
plan for a successful implementation on the district and school levels.
Together, we will explore and
answer
- What opportunities will districts, schools, teachers, and students have to access and use the SBAC assessments before 2014-15?
- To what extent will educational leaders and teachers be involved in the piloting and review phases of development?
- What tools will be offered as part of the Balanced Assessment system? What type of PD will be provided?
- What will happen to our students’ proficiency scores on these new assessments?
- What will happen to the ACT? When is it going away? Will there be a MEAP assessment in 2014?
- What support will teachers need in transitioning to the new assessment system?
- What needs to happen with my district or school’s technology plan so that we are ready for the new assessments?
- What do our parents and guardians need to know about the new assessment system?
Pair this session with
“Smarter Balanced – ELA" on October 19 to ensure you are fully informed and
ready to plan for implementation with fidelity.
Please Note:
This is an updated repeat of the May 2012 Smarter Balanced Math session. If you
attended that session, you should NOT register for this session. You should
plan to attend the "Smarter Balanced (Math): Updates, Opportunities, and
Need-to-Knows" session scheduled for April 24, 2013.
