Smarter Balanced

This is a great article that I found about the new smarter balanced assessment that students will be taking this spring. It gives a brief introduction to what the new smarter balanced test is, compares it to the old OAKS test, and shows some sample questions. I found it interesting and also scary that Oregon officials estimate about two-thirds of students will fail this test the first year.
