Smarter Balanced Survey

Posted on April 29, 2014 by in News, Op-Ed

The Smarter Balanced test is intended to demonstrate the students’ overall knowledge of the required curriculum throughout the whole year. This year’s 11th graders were given a field test to evaluate the efficiency of the questions to determine the necessary questions that will be in next year’s test that will be scored.

The test includes a series of questions on English Language Arts and Mathematics due to each student’s level of understanding. The Smarter Balanced Test is aligned to the Common Core, that substitutes the CST’s multiple choice questions to critical thinking skills. Students have been taking the test from Apr 21 to May 1, and have realized the big difference between the CSTs and the Smarter Balanced Test.

A short survey has been conducted to show the effect the test has on students. We encourage students to take this survey, to the see the positive and negative outcomes.
