Getting Ready for Smarter Balanced Assessment
Getting Ready for Smarter Balanced Assessment
Administered by ESD 112
Presenters
- Marilyn Melville-Irvine
Description
This class is designed for teachers in grades 3-10 who are seeking an opportunity to revisit (or visit for the first time) the Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA). We will cover how to teach writing and reading strategies that promote success on SBA and in the classroom. Opinion, Explanatory, and Narrative writing expectations will be the focus as well as the close reading strategies necessary to support all three types of writing. We will review practice tests and implications for instruction.
A recent ESD survey shows that many teachers feel that they have not built a strong background in SBA and would welcome an opportunity for greater depth of understanding. Some worktime will be available for teachers to plan instruction that helps kids be ready.
Event Notes
Teachers should bring with them samples of texts/units currently used in their classrooms. Also, they should feel free to bring electronic devices to use during class.
