Smarter+Balanced+Assessment


 * A conversation was had about the Smarter Balanced Assessment on November 16th, 2012. Below is some highlights of the conversation.**


 * Notes:**


 * 1) Jason Gauthier**
 * Assessment will be taking over 2 days and 2 hours each day. Kent ISD did pilot the Smarter Balanced Assessment. The idea is that this assessment will take a short time. The test can be taken over a twelve week time frame. It would behoove schools to assess early in the 12 weeks. There is a question about what students have access on the assessment and the belief is that they will have access to what is need for the items. The assessment will rely heavily on mathematics.**
