What is the SBAC & CAASPP ELA Performance Task?
The CAASPP (California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress) and SBAC (Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium) ELA performance task is a critical component designed to assess students' mastery of language arts skills in a real-world context. Unlike traditional testing formats, the ELA performance task requires students to read complex texts, analyze information, and synthesize their findings into comprehensive written responses. This task is crafted to evaluate a range of abilities from critical reading to analytical writing and is typically composed of several components, including a research section where students must gather information from multiple sources, and a writing section where they must articulate their arguments or explanations clearly and coherently.
