

Exit exams remain the same (HSPE, EOC)
CAA options remain the same


Class of 2013 had some relaxation of Collection of Evidence
rules that had been newly implemented – these will not
continue (COE limited to one submission per content area
throughout HS, and requires two attempts on general
assessment before submitting)
Schools will be recruited for Smarter Balanced field test
Trying to avoid students having to take current test AND field
test
 Should know by end of August how double testing can be
avoided
23

ESEA Waiver

Good for 2013-14

 Possible

 Possible ESEA reauthorization at federal
level
