I am looking at the item details for an ELA IAB my 10th students took last year. It was a focused IAB, for Research and integrating knowledge.  The item detail  says they are  11th grade standards. So when their score  says near or above standard, does it mean at the 10th or 11th grade?

Where can I find the Interpretive Guide?

Not all of the types of tech tools that were on the CAASPP assessments this year were not a part of the interim assessments. In many cases, the math assessment became more of a technology assessment rather than a mathematic assessment. Will this be updated this year so that students are more familiar with the tech tools prior to the end of year assessments?

I work for a homeschool charter and our Assessment Director would for our school to pilot the interim assessments this year. We do not have a specific site where we meet with the students as most teachers meet their students in parks, their homes or coffee shops. Regarding security, would it be ok for our teachers to give the Interims in these locations? We rent locations for the Summative Assessments.

This was the response to a question about question security:

"They can be used in class, but they cannot be posted in a third-party website such as a school learning management system (LMS)"

I am an online teacher. So, all of my instruction is through an LMS-Newrow. I also utilize Google Classroom. So, from this response, it appears I could not utilize the IAB question in warm-ups, exit tickets, etc. Is this correct? If so, this puts my students at a disadvantage.

Do the CAASPP assessment creators follow the priority learning suggestions from Achieve the Core or other experts?  Our district followed the priority learning guidelines to guide our instruction in ELA and math. For example, in the priority learning guidelines for this last year in 3rd grade, it states to eliminate creating scaled graphs so we did.  However, students had to create a scaled graph on the CAASPP assessment.
