ADMINISTERING THE SBAC:AN OVERVIEW FOR TEACHERS
SUCCESSFULLY PREPARING ALL STUDENTS FOR THEIR FUTURES12033 SE 256TH STREET, KENT, WA 98030 | WWW.KENT.K12.WA.US
• For Smarter Balanced Organization– To see how it works– Test the online system– Test administration logistics– To ensure validity, reliability and fairness
• Which questions work/don’t• Accuracy of test questions
– To set preliminary standards• Establish scoring and reporting scales
• For KSD– To see how it works– Test the online system– Test administration logistics– To gauge our readiness – To work out the bugs BEFORE it’s high-stakes– To practice
WHY ARE WE DOING THIS?

TEST ORGANIZATION• 3 Parts
– Non-performance (similar to MSP – multiple choice/fill-in-the-blank)– Classroom Activity (teacher led – scripted)– Non-performance (students research and apply knowledge based on
activity)• Non-performance/performance completed on computer• Untimed• Math
– Non-performance is all in 1 part• English Language Arts
– Non-performance is in 2 parts (research and application)

TESTING IMPROPRIETIES, IRREGULARITIES OR BREACHES
• Impropriety – low risk of impacting student performance or test security– A student logs in with another student’s SSID– The teacher answers a students question about a test item during the test– The teacher leaves the testing room or puts a student in charge
• Irregularity – potentially affects student performance or test security– Failure to monitor student behavior – teacher is reading email or doing other “teacherly” work– Failure to remove or cover classroom displays that provide information regarding the content
being tested– Paraphrasing, omitting, revising or rewriting the script of directions contained in the test
administrator’s manual• Breach – poses a treat to the validity of the test
– Test materials are stolen or missing
• Improprieties and Irregularities must be reported to Razak within 24 hours• Breaches must be reported to Razak immediately
