Other Smarter Balanced Provided Support Documents

The Smarter Balanced website offers a few other support documents and resources.

Practice and Training Test User Guide: This document guides you through the tests. It also addresses the "TA (Test Administrator) Practice and Testing Site" option.

Activities: SB has provided some sample activities to practice the class-activity-before-the-test piece. All grade levels can be accessed here, but the single high school activity can be accessed directly here.

Performance Task Scoring Guides: There are multiple documents for each grade level, but the one that will probably be most helpful is the ELA Performance Task/Braille Performance Task. It explains how students earn points for each questions.

Performance Task Writing Rubrics: SB has provided their rubrics for all four possible writing types found in the Performance Task. They can be found at the bottom of this page.
