[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what are the good tests out there?[/quote] Some people say the SmarterBalanced test is better (i think it sounds like a food product). It's online too, adaptive (e.g. if you get a question right it gives progressively harder questions to see where a child's proficiency taps out, so to speak). But I think they have been losing states too. I think most states are going to end up hiring Pearson to develop new tests for their state, which will be slightly different than other states, but branded as the Arizona test, the Maryland test, etc. And Pearson will collect money from everyone. [/quote] I'm a teacher and worked as a scorer for both tests and definitely liked Smarter Balanced better, at least on the grading side. The task seemed more reasonable and the criteria more age appropriate and not as rigid. [/quote]
