The Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) recently released the Content Specifications for Mathematics and is seeking comments on this important component in the development of the next generation of assessment aligned to the Common Core State Standards. This document provides the basis for the development of the new assessments that will be used in Michigan and about 30 other states. It is important that Michigan educators take time to review and provide feedback through the survey provided.

Website links to a press release, the SBAC Content Specifications for Mathematics, the survey, and a webinar which provides further information about the documents is available at: http://www.k12.wa.us/SMARTER/Resources.aspx.

Here is a link to a video by the authors of the Mathematics Common Core State Standards where they talk about the key characteristics of the standards.

Attached is the MDE memo describing how MEAP and MME will support the transitioning from content expectations to the Common Core State Standards.
