“Weird” math assessment, based on the Common Core, described by 2 Utah students – see the video
June 4, 2014
Some students taking Utah’s SAGE assessment this spring experienced what they described as “weird” colors and sounds while taking the math assessment. SAGE is Utah’s new computer adaptive assessment. From interviews with students, it seems that not every student took the version of the assessment that subjected students to the weird colors and strange voices. Some students appeared to be taking a different version.
Washington State also has a computer adaptive assessment. Washington’s assessments are being developed by the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) headed by Washington State’s own assessment developers –the same people who worked on the WASL. It is not know yet whether the Washington state assessment resembles the Utah SAGE assessment.
Parents, if your child took the Common Core Assessments this year, please ask him or her to tell you about it. If your child had a similar anxiety-producing experience, please contact the person who produced the video below, and also contact us. Our contact e-mail is cure@curewashington.org.
