The Common Core State Standards help ensure that students experience real academic rigor at the K-12 level. The Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium partnered with AACRAO to develop a user guide for the new assessments aligned to these higher standards.
The Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium is one of two multi-state consortia that have built new assessment systems aligned to the Common Core State Standards. This guide is designed to serve two purposes: 1) provide practice recommendations on how to use the new assessment data; and 2) outline specific guidance shared by technology solution providers for how to incorporate the new test scores into the various technology systems.
