00:48	everyone . Welcome to our inaugural Edge Shorts session .
00:52	The purpose of this session is to provide all the
00:55	information available about 2020 s back assessments such as changes
01:00	in blueprints in term assessments available testing Windows and remote
01:05	administration possibilities in the next 10 minutes we will be
01:09	exploring the crucial areas of this year's smarter , balanced
01:13	assessments . In the 2021 aspect tests , the assessment
01:21	structure remains the same , so it will still include
01:25	a C A T computer , adaptive tests with tech
01:29	enhanced items such as drag and drop graph , numeric
01:34	response equation editor and more and a P T performance
01:40	task to assess problem solving and critical thinking skills .
01:45	Students will see both C . A . T S
01:48	and P . T s in the math and ELA
01:50	assessments . All students in grades 3 to 8 and
01:54	11 are required to take the smarter , balanced superlative
01:58	the S back cat or computer based tests just difficulty
02:02	levels of questions throughout the assessment . Based on each
02:06	student's response . Performance tasks require students to utilize their
02:11	skills across multiple standards and topics . They include a
02:15	set of questions centered on a common concept to demonstrate
02:19	all around knowledge of the subject . The testing time
02:26	for each grade aspects . Formative assessments vary , the
02:30	shortest of which takes 2.5 hours and is for grades
02:33	3 to 5 . Math , the longest one is
02:36	for up to four hours and is for Grade 11
02:39	math . This duration includes time allotted for both cat
02:43	and PT segments . Each grade level exam for both
02:46	math and ELA combined takes 6 to 7.5 hours .
02:52	However , some states such as California are planning to
02:55	reduce the testing time with shorter versions of the assessment
02:59	. Further details on this are awaited . Stay tuned
03:03	to the Edge sort of Facebook group for more updates
03:10	. There are several resources to help students prepare for
03:13	the superlative . The smarter balanced release items are also
03:18	available in the Department of Education websites to familiarize students
03:22	with the items . There are also some commercially available
03:26	programs to help prepare students for the assessments with rigorous
03:30	practice and targeted remediation for their skill gaps . Use
03:35	these available mimicking items as bell ringers in classroom work
03:39	during regular classroom sessions to improve student performance . Driver
03:45	media was with supplemental study resources to students in all
03:49	your r t I groups to address their weaker areas
03:57	. The smarter balanced internal assessments are designed to prepare
04:01	students for the superlative and allow teachers to check student
04:05	progress throughout the year . Educators can use the results
04:09	to develop informed instructional plans to help students meet the
04:13	career ready standards . The s back . Interim assessments
04:17	are made available as the interim comprehensive assessments or I
04:23	see a s . These are similar to some motive
04:26	and , if needed , can also act as substitute
04:29	indicators of students . His performance in the absence of
04:32	end of year tests , the interim assessment blocks or
04:37	I A B s . These are claim level tests
04:40	that help teachers assess students in the classroom periodically per
04:44	their plan curriculum . These evaluate at least 4 to
04:48	8 targets and provide domain level overviews . The focused
04:54	interim Assessment blocks or F I A B s .
04:57	These assess three or fewer targets focused on instruction in
05:01	about a week . Typically , students have up to
05:05	five opportunities to take the I C . A s
05:08	and each I A B and each f i A
05:11	B throughout the school year . All these interim assessments
05:15	are untimed tests . The I , C A s
05:18	I , A Bs and F i A B s
05:20	are fixed form tests , which means that all students
05:24	in the class attempt the same items . A student
05:27	who takes an interim assessment more than once we'll see
05:30	the same items each time . The testing window for
05:37	these smarter balanced some motives vary across all the administering
05:42	states . This year's window will start as early as
05:45	February 2021 in some states and end as late as
05:49	May 2021 . In a few this year , Smarter
05:56	Balanced has launched its smart tool for teachers , which
06:00	is a platform to discover standards , aligned lessons and
06:03	strategies designed by educators . Smart tools for teachers includes
06:09	differentiated lessons and activities that are available across grades and
06:13	content areas . Let's now have a look at some
06:20	of the available guidance to complete this year's standardized testing
06:25	. It is recommended that all students and staff always
06:28	wear a mask during testing , L . E .
06:31	A s should work with their local stakeholders to ensure
06:34	public health and safety norms are followed . Different configurations
06:38	and settings are being explored to conduct testing during the
06:41	pandemic period . Few of these include group testing .
06:47	In this setting , test stations are each 6 ft
06:50	apart and staggered . The teacher station is at the
06:53	front of the room , at least 6 ft from
06:55	the nearest student . Hand sanitizers are also to be
06:59	available at the entrance of the room , one on
07:03	one testing . This setting is laid out on two
07:06	tables separated by a transparent divider on one side of
07:10	the divider . The test examiner device with the test
07:13	administrator interfaces with an attached monitor on the other side
07:18	of the divider . The student has a monitor that
07:20	duplicates the same content . Remote paper . Pencil administration
07:28	is the least secure imposes more challenges for students and
07:32	the testing coordinators . This testing method is only advisable
07:36	only when both in person and remote computer based testing
07:40	is not feasible . In California , especially , it
07:44	is only being considered for the E . L .
07:46	P A C assessments this academic year . Answer books
07:51	and other materials should be shipped and tracked through UPS
07:55	or FedEx . Parents can also pick them up from
07:58	school . It is imperative to inform parents and guardians
08:02	that these are not to be open until the time
08:05	of testing . Students should contact the testing coordinator through
08:09	phone or , ideally , a video communication app during
08:13	the assessment for speaking and listening components . The test
08:18	examiner will score the student during the assessment through the
08:22	call as a recording is not a possibility . If
08:30	schools choose the computer based assessment option students is online
08:34	. Monitoring is necessary for remote test administration parents or
08:39	guardians . Consent is imperative to allow students to participate
08:43	in this option . In this option , assessment ,
08:46	delivery and access for students testing interfaces are through Web
08:50	browsers , depending on the students . As a grade
08:53	level , the S spec tests can be conducted on
08:56	a local device or shared with the student using Web
08:59	meeting applications by the test examiner . We hope this
09:04	was helpful . It is now time for our Q
09:06	and A sections . Feel free to share your questions
09:09	in the comments . Thank you so much for joining
09:12	us today in our ed short session on 2021 s
09:15	back tests . We'll return soon with more updates .
