3.2 Introduction to Next Generation Assessments
Next Generation Assessment Consortia
There are many groups, including Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC), working to develop next generation assessments that accurately measure student progress toward college- and career-readiness. Consortia were awarded funding from the U.S. Department of Education in 2010 to develop an assessment system aligned to the College and Career Readiness Standards by the 2014-15 school year.
MIchigan is part of the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium.
