About the SD SBAC
South Dakota is a Smarter Balanced governing state and administers the consortium's summative as its statewide assessment in grades 3 through 8. South Dakota's math content standards remain the South Dakota Content Standards for Mathematics, which the state adopted from CCSS-M in 2010 and has lightly revised since; alignment to CCSS-M is still essentially direct, so Briveli classifies the framework as common-core. The summative includes a computer-adaptive section and a performance task that requires students to apply reasoning across a multi-step scenario.
Test delivery runs through the Cambium Test Delivery System used across the Smarter Balanced consortium. Item types include multiple choice, multi-select, equation editor, drag-and-drop, hot-spot, and the rubric-scored performance task. Score reports place students in four achievement levels with Level 3 as the ESSA bar, and break out four claim-level scores: Concepts & Procedures, Problem Solving, Communicating Reasoning, and Modeling & Data Analysis. Briveli weights practice toward Concepts & Procedures in K-5 and shifts toward Problem Solving and Modeling claims in grades 6-8.
