为什么需要状态测试?为什么状态测试很重要?
州法律要求进行州测试( RCW 28.230.095)和联邦法律( 中小学教育法).
Statewide testing is important because it helps ensure all public school students receive a quality education, 不管他们在哪里上学, 因为它们是用相同的标准来衡量的. 这 information assists districts and schools in improving instructional practices and curriculum and gives families valuable information about how well their student is doing and where additional help might be needed.
考试成绩是关于你的学生在学校表现的一条信息. 连同成绩单和其他信息一起, test results let you know if your student is on track to succeed in higher grades as well as for college and career. 10年级学生, these results are used by some community colleges in 华盛顿 to measure if students are on track for college-level classes.
评估是如何组织的，需要多长时间?
Both the SBA English/Language Arts and Math assessments are administered online, and each is 组织分为两个部分:
第一部分:计算机自适应
Series of mostly multiple choice and short answer questions which may increase or decrease in difficulty level based on student responses, 估计需要1-2小时*.
第二部分:性能任务(PT)
Real-world scenario requiring multiple steps for 数学 and extended 写作 task in language arts, 估计需要1-2小时*.
各个学校在春季会给每个家庭发送具体的评估时间表.
* SBA和WCAS评估不计时，整体测试时间因学生而异.
WCAS是什么?
华盛顿科学综合评估(WCAS) 所有五年级、八年级和十一年级的学生在春天都要参加考试吗. The WCAS is administered online during the same window as 聪明的平衡 and uses the same state assessment platform.

我怎样才能让我的孩子为评估做最好的准备?
Our teachers’ engaging daily lessons are the most effective preparation for students because the assessments are designed to match classroom learning goals.
家庭可以采取 实践测试 at home if they’d like, and students tend to perform best when they are well fed and well rested. No additional family preparation is necessary other than a positive attitude and growth mindset.
更聪明的平衡评估如何以不同的方式呈现内容?
聪明的平衡 assessments are designed to require more complex thinking than previous state assessments required. 例如:
- 证据: Students must go beyond simply skim-reading or answering 写作 prompts with only personal opinion. 评估需要仔细阅读和基于证据的回应.
- 严谨: 学生们可能不太依赖消去过程. The assessment includes some multiple choice with more than one answer as well as other demands for higher-level thinking.
- 真实性: 将记忆中的公式应用于一组脱离上下文的数字可能是不够的. 聪明平衡要求学生将数学概念应用到现实生活中, 通常需要多个步骤.
- 写作: Writing is now assessed at all tested grade levels, with extended 写作 in English language arts. 甚至数学也包括一些简答题写作.
评估在网上进行. 这会改变学生参加考试的方式吗?
在线考试形式意味着考试可以:
- 互动: 不仅仅是选择题, 学生可能会被要求拖放答案, 完成图表或突出证据.
- 适应性: 评估 conform to ability; questions become more or less challenging for each student depending on answers.
- 支持: 在线平台为所有学生提供支持, 比如内置计算器, 笔用, 等.，以及为有特殊需要的学生提供更具体的住宿.
分数如何与家庭分享?
The state Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) mails hard copies of state test scores to school districts by the end of September, 该地区将它们分发给学校, 学校也会提供给家庭.

评分范围如何确定?
The 聪明的平衡 score reports will allow families to chart students’ grade-level growth over the years. 分数在2000到3000之间，成就等级在1-4之间. Teachers and community members helped set these levels initially by using data from 2014 field tests involving more than 3 million students.
聪明的平衡 is different enough that scores cannot be accurately compared to those of previous state tests, 但无论如何，家庭可能会忍不住将它们进行比较, 尤其是当学生的熟练程度发生变化时. Remember that scoring shifts are normal whenever more rigorous academics and their assessments are introduced; teachers and students need time to adjust. The 2015 scores are viewed as a baseline that will help our teachers (and families) measure future growth.
因为2015年的评估是新的, 教师和学校领导已经重新调整了他们的期望, 知道评分变化是正常的，老师和学生需要时间来适应. 例如，州政府官员已经做出了调整 毕业合格分数 维持目前的毕业率. Everybody is working together to ensure that students’ scores are viewed fairly as we grow into more challenging academic expectations.
