The Smarter Balanced Digital Library is an online collection of instructional, professional, and formative assessment resources aligned with the Common Core State Standards. The library content is created by educators and is intended to support the formative assessment component of the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) System. Resources are designed to support existing curriculum. Each submission is vetted by educators using quality criteria review and is designed to provide users with opportunities to learn from and use formative assessment practices to improve instruction.
The Digital Library’s over 3,000 resources provide subject- and gradespecific content for educators to use and customize based on the needs of
their students. The Digital Library also offers opportunities for professional growth by allowing users to share expertise through online forums, as well as access to professional learning resources that focus on topics for educator professional development.
