next generation assessments

Delaware will administer the Smarter Balanced Assessment.
  • Taken during the final weeks of the school year, the summative assessments for each grade and subject will have two major components: Performance Tasks, and a comprehensive end-of- year (EOY) Computer Adaptive Assessment, both described below.   All of these assessments will provide students with information regarding their achievement, growth, and progress toward college- and career-readiness by the end of high school.
  • The Performance Tasks (PTs) component will be delivered via computer and will generally require 90-120 minutes per content area to complete.  These tasks evaluate aspects of the CCSS that are difficult to assess through more traditional items, will be organized around real-world scenarios and complex tasks.   PTs will involve student-initiated planning, management of information and ideas, interaction with other materials, and production of an extended response such as an oral presentation, exhibit, product development, or an extended written piece.
The Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) component will consist of approximately 40-65 questions per content area.  CAT will include selected-response, constructed-response, and technology-enhanced items.
