SBAC

The Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) is a state-led consortium working to develop next-generation assessments that accurately measure student progress toward college- and career-readiness.

SBAC is one of two multi-state consortia developing assessment systems aligned to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) by the 2014-2015 school year. The Clark County School District supports the Nevada adoption of the SBAC assessments.
