Last week and this week, along with Kristin Teske, I worked with classrooms making sure that students were comfortable with the technology they'll be using to take the SBAC (Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium). Starting next week, students in grades 3-5 will be assessed in ELA (English Language Arts) and Math. There will be three testing devices used - laptops, ipads and desktops. Each device provides tools for students to use for their success: highlighter, strike through and flag for review. There is NO time limit for the assessments. We've all worked hard to remove underlining pressures that may create stress. This is state testing, required by the state for all students. It is recommended that all students attempt the assessment.
