Available SSRs are produced daily. Prior to this change, SSRs were produced only biweekly, on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
The Student Score Data Files are updated daily and can be requested by SSR availability date.
The Student Score Data File by Enrolled LEA, which is updated daily, will contain all students currently enrolled with the LEA as of the date of the file. This file can be used for purposes of course placement and EL reclassification of students who may have moved into the LEA.
Smarter Balanced
If a student’s response to an ELA WER item is identified with a condition code of “off-purpose,” the conventions trait is scored, but the traits of evidence/elaboration and organization/purpose are not scored, which means that the student will have the opportunity to receive credit for a response, affecting the student’s overall ELA score. Consistent with essays that do not have condition codes, item scores for conventions are included when calculating the total ELA score and the Writing claim score. The rule for off-purpose scoring of conventions is applied regardless of the writing purpose.
Assessment target results are reported at the aggregated level for groups of 30 students or more for targets with more than 10 items in the pool. Aggregate target reports will be available in CERS only within the Custom Aggregate Report feature.
SSRs include text comparing last year’s score and achievement level to this year’s.
CAST
On the CAST SSR, a new footnote—“There were not enough questions answered to report [Student name]’s achievement in all domains”—appears in the “Science Area Performance” section when a student does not answer enough questions in one or more domains to generate a score for the impacted domain(s).
