Visions In Education is offering free Smarter Balanced Prep classes for grades 3-8 and 11 in ELA and math. Make sure your student feels prepared to take the Smarter Balanced Assessments this year by signing up for the classes. Now open for enrollment, the classes are free and are offered in multiple locations throughout our service area. Students will become familiar with SBAC test-taking procedures through topics covering exposure to the technology that will be utilized and what to expect in the performance task portion of the test. The classes will also offer a short time for student and parent questions.
The Prep classes must have a minimum enrollment of five students, 48 hours prior to the date or it will be canceled. If a class is canceled, parents/guardians will be notified by email 24 hours in advance.
Prep Classes will be offered in Carmichael, Lodi, Concord, Fairfield, Rescue, Jackson, and South Lake Tahoe on a variety of dates towards the end of February and beginning of March.
Note: SBAC Prep Classes will not review grade-level content—test-taking procedures will be the primary focus.
