SMARTER BALANCED ASSESSMENT
In schools across the country, teachers are implementing new
academic standards that provide consistent guidelines in English and math at
each grade level and help prepare students to graduate high school ready for
college and the workplace. These new
benchmarks challenge students to develop a deeper understanding of subject
matter, learn to think critically, and apply what they are learning to the real
world. The Smarter Balanced Assessment
measures critical thinking with questions that ask students to demonstrate
their research, writing, and problem solving skills
Take the practice test:
If your child took the Smarter Balanced Assessment as a
third of fourth grader at Mililani ‘Ike last year, you will be receiving information on their performance in the form of a Family Report.
To help you better understand this report, you can access the
