Smarter Balanced Practice Test



Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium has released practice tests for grades 3-8, and 11.  You can check them out here.  In order to see the entire test you will need to answer the questions.  A simple ABC or xxx will do. 

I will be meeting with a fabulous group of teachers today to look at the performance tasks.  We will decide what teachers and students need to do in order to prepare for these tasks.  I will update with the anchor charts!
