Guidelines for Simplified Test Directions in the Test Administration Manual
The designated support for simplified test directions for Smarter Balanced English language arts (ELA) and mathematics allows the test administrator to simplify or paraphrase the test directions found in the test administration manual according to the Simplified Test Directions Guidelines. Students who need additional support understanding the test directions may benefit from this resource. This designated support may require testing in a separate setting to avoid distracting other test takers.
