Posted 04/02/2013 09:17PM

Five Wethersfield schools are participating in the Smarter Balanced Pilot Test this week. This voluntary Pilot Test is the second of two large-scale tryouts of the new online assessment prior to implementation in the 2014-15 school year. The new Smarter Balanced assessment makes use of computer adaptive testing (CAT), which is more precise and efficient than the traditional paper-and-pencil assessments used in many states. Smarter Balanced assessments go beyond multiple-choice questions to include extended response and technology enhanced items, as well as performance tasks that allow students to demonstrate critical-thinking and problem-solving skills.
