The California Department of Education (CDE) has updated three Parent Guides to the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments. The guides provide sample test items in English language arts/literacy and mathematics and explain how student achievement is reported to parents. In addition, they are grade-span specific, focusing on the concepts and skills to be mastered by students in:
- Grades 3-5
- Grades 6-8
- Grade 11
All three Parent Guides are posted on the CDE CAASPP Parent Guides: Smarter Blanaced Assessments Web page at: http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/ca/sbacparentguides.asp
