Among the ideas he tossed out was converting a little-used horseshoe pit into a bocce court. Ideas and contact in- formation can be sent by mail to P.O.

Smarter Balanced tests go above and beyond filling in multiple choice bubbles and actually showcase students’ thoughts and explana- tions for how they solve problems.” To gauge students’ ability to analyze infor- mation, think critically and communicate their knowledge, the system re- quires students to solve real-life tasks. Problems are encountered, howev- er, when teachers don’t fully understand the test’s design or what is required of the students to success- fully complete it. To alleviate teachers’ apprehensions, WestEd, a non-profit research and development agency, worked with Stanford Center for Assessment, Learning and Equity to develop the Building Edu- cator Assessment Litera- cy (BEAL) project.

A recent report pub- lished by WestEd compar- ing pre- and post-work- shop educator surveys shows a significant in- crease in the understand- ing of Common Core and how the Smarter Bal- anced assessments con- nect to student readiness and classroom teaching. Teachers noted that the training helped to clarify the tests and they became more comfortable with how and what Smarter Balanced tests measure. “I’m really proud of the results,” Arnold said. “This change can be over- whelming for teachers and (the BEAL) program takes the mystery out of it.” annetteutz1@gmail .com or follow at twit ter.com/AnnetteUtz ESTABLISHED 1880 Previously the Silverton Appeal Tribune & Mt.
