This organization meets the minimum requirements to successfully provide Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) state required testing. My research consisted of an inventory of devices, along with device operating systems and the headphones, or any other attachments used with each device by the organization. SBAC provides minimum requirements for operating systems as well as devices on their website. The inventory was compared against the SBAC minimum requirements.
The findings of this research revealed our organization is prepared for successful administration of the state required testing. As the chart shows, the devices used by this organization meet or exceed the minimum requirements. In cases where requirements are exceeding, such as in operating systems and bandwidth capacity, it revealed that the organization is prepared for long term use of technology. For example, the organization recently upgraded to 1 gigabit of bandwidth capacity at each school site. This organization also participated in the pilot of SBAC in order to identify any potential unforeseen complications they may encounter. The goal of participating in the pilot was to become fully prepared. Currently, this organization is fully prepared to administer the SBAC.
