State Joins the SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium
Thursday, June 9th, 2011

California announced that the state will join the SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC), one of two consortia charged with developing a comprehensive assessment system aligned to the Common Core State Standards. California joins as a governing state, which precludes participation in the other consortium (PARCC) and gives the state an active role in all SBAC decision-making.
