This week we will talk about the new Smarter Balanced Test. We will review the test process, allowable resources, and test-taking strategies. We will also spend some time taking the practice test.
1) Open Smarter Balanced Secure Browser
2) Review basics of signing-in and instruction process.
3) Review allowable resources (what you are allowed to use during the test).
4) Learn about test rules and the new tool/navigation bar.
5) Complete a sample reading and math question together, reviewing tips and tricks.
Smarter Balanced Resources for home:
-Practice Test Portal (Note-the test does not provide right/wrong answers so have a parent review)
-Smarter Balanced Website
-Online Resources (testing manuals/instructions, accommodations, etc.)
-Sample Test Problems (PDF but include answers)
