Parent Guide to understanding California student assessments
Key Ways Parents Can Support SBAC Success:
- Practice at Home: Utilize the Smarter Balanced Practice and Training Tests to familiarize students with the computer-adaptive format, including technology-enhanced questions, without the pressure of a real test.
- Prioritize Physical Health: Ensure your child gets plenty of sleep, especially the nights before testing, and provides a healthy, nutritious breakfast to improve focus.
- Reduce Test Anxiety: Discuss the test calmly, explaining that it is a tool for teachers to see what students have learned, not a grade-based penalty. Promote a positive attitude and avoid cramming, which causes stress.
- Encourage Daily Habits: Encourage reading daily to strengthen literacy skills needed for all subject areas.
- Ensure Good Attendance: Avoid scheduling appointments during the school's testing window, which often runs over three or four days.
- Practice Test Strategies: Remind children to read instructions thoroughly and to use all available time
