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
