Is now easier to use
Teachers no longer have to create their
own assessments
Time Saver
Interim Benchmark (IBM)assessments
have been created for them for each
tested benchmark.
Multiple benchmark assessments (MBA)
were created to target District wide
winter diagnostic areas of concerns and
provide practice for the FCAT.
5
Interim Benchmark Assessments –
IBM’s

Reading
◦ Grades 3 – 10
◦ At least one test per benchmark
◦ 5 questions per test

Mathematics
◦ Grades 3 – 8, Algebra 1, and Geometry
◦ One test per benchmark
◦ 5 – 6 questions per test

Multiple Benchmark Assessments –
MBA’s

◦
Grades 3 – 10
Three Passages
Minimum of 3 benchmarks assessed
Benchmarks grouped by compatability
13 - 15 questions per test
◦ Grades 3 – 8, Algebra 1, and Geometry
◦ 10-15 questions per test
◦ Assessments were created based upon the district’s winter
diagnostic area of concerns – or -content/skills and the
number of objectives contained in each benchmark – or –
foundational benchmarks needed to master tested
benchmarks. (gaps)
◦ Ex. Fractions test of its own (I benchmark). Ex Algebra
created test on Linear equations and a test on inequalities
(Over 60% of the EOC)

◦ Elementary
 IBM assessments by big ideas
 MBA assessments based upon district diagnostic needs
◦ Middle School

All Test Codes have been assigned by
the district to all students in the
district.
 Teachers DO NOT have to assign the
test to their class/periods.
 Teachers give their student the test
code – student logs into CORE K12 –
student inputs test code – student
takes test.
 Results will automatically go to the
teacher
 Extremely Easy!!!

To access the test codes you will need to click
onto the West Area Capacity Team web Site.
An electronic flyer with the link on it will be
sent to you via e-mail.
You can forward the flyer to your teachers.
They simply have to press the control button
and click the link and they will access the test
code web site.
Only district personnel can access the web
site

Students need to take the IBM’s or MBA’s on a
computer
◦ If computer labs are not available, students can
take the test (paper/pencil) then log their answers
into the computer in their classrooms
◦ Use CORE K12 as a center (Rotation)

Teachers and Administrators should use
CORE K12 to progress monitor student
achievement


Principals should give all teachers their user
name and password to access CORE K12
Principals are the only ones who can access
and provide their teachers with their CORE
K12 passwords.
Make sure all teachers log into Core K12 –
During LTM – Professional Development Day
breakout session
Principals can contact Dr. Carla Kendal if they
need their CORE K12 password
