Tools for Teachers

On May 28, 2020, the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium decommissioned the Digital Library to prepare for the launch of Tools for Teachers, which became available for preview on June 16, 2020. Tools for Teachers is an online collection of resources that supports K–12 teachers in their use of the formative assessment process to adjust teaching for improving student learning. To learn more, visit the Tools for Teachers Resources web page.

Additional resources and features will be available for the official grand opening, scheduled for September 30, 2020..

California Educator Reporting System

The Interim Assessment Reporting System and the Online Reporting System (ORS) make up the foundation of the new California Educator Reporting System (CERS). Over the next couple of years, as more summative test results are made available in CERS, it will become the one-stop shop for interim and summative assessment results for all CAASPP and ELPAC assessments, as the ORS will eventually be retired.

CERS will include results for all assessments, which makes reporting more accessible to all educators. The CERS timeline table shows the schedule for making test results available in CERS.
