“A stronger, fairer New Jersey means one that

prioritizes outreach and collaboration when making

policy decisions,” said Education Commissioner Lamont O. Repollet. “My

staff and I went on a listening tour across the state to ensure that we

understood the scope of interest, and moved

forward having considered the needs of students, educators, and broader community members in

building the next generation assessment

system by New Jersey, for New Jersey.”

NJDOE: Purpose of the assessment system is to promote and measure

educational achievement at benchmark grade levels.

New Jersey has had statewide assessments since the 1970s.

In 2001, under the federal No Chi ld Lef t Behind Act , every state was required

to test students in grades 3 -8 and grade 11. That mandate is st i l l in ef fect .

In 2014, New Jersey transit ioned from its former NJ ASK and HSPA

assessments to the Par tnership for Assessment of Readiness for Col lege and

Careers (PARCC) assessments in mathematics and Engl ish Language Ar ts .

2018 marks the four th administrat ion of PARCC and the third oppor tunity to

compare year-to-year results .

The impor tance of ensuring s tate assessment par t ic ipat ion rates: r ich,

rel iable data stores.

THE DATA ANALYSIS PROCESS

What do we ask ourselves when it comes to data?

1. How will we use student achievement data as a tool to address student specific learning needs?

2. How will we use student achievement data to identify strengths, gaps, and trends that exist in our instruction?

3. How can we provide additional resources and support for our educators to meet the learning needs of all our students?

4

Plan meaningful instruction that meets the needs of all

students:

Teachers analyze and evaluate the score reports to identify which

skills represent areas of strength and areas in need of growth.

Help determine programs and support through the

Intervention & Referral Services (I&RS) and Child Study Team

(CST) for students that are having difficulties.

Provide parents with specific information on how their child

has performed on various subtests.

5

USES OF STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT DATA

PARCC Assessments now called the New Jersey

Student Learning Assessment (NJSLA.)

NJSLA to have reductions in testing time and testing

items:

ELA:

ELA reduced from 3 units to 2 units (75-90 minute reduction.)

ELA 11 has been eliminated.

Math:

Grades 3-5: reduced from 4 units to 3 units; 60 minute reduction.

Grades 6-8: still 3 units, time reduced by 60 minutes.

Algebra I End-of-Course test reduced from 3 to 2 units; 90 minute

reduction.

Students need to take only one Math test in High School.

WORLD-CLASS

INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN

AND ASSESSMENT

Mandatory large scale English proficiency

assessment administered K-12 for students

who are English Language Learners.

Assessed on 4 language domains: Listening,

Speaking, Reading and Writing.

Serves as one of multiple measures to

determine if students are ready to exit the

Language program.

Provides teachers with information they can

use to enhance instruction. 30

WHAT IS THE WIDA?

Students who speak English as a second language,

newly arrived in the country, or whose parents do not

speak English are screened for services.

Students who test into the program become part of a

push in/pull out supplemental program focusing on

language acquisition through and ESL/ELL teacher.

Students are given resources and accommodations

to help them learn.

Students are tested with the WIDA at the end of

every year to see if they graduate the program. The

following criterion are considered;

WIDA scores, other standardized assessments, teacher input,

grades, and observations. 31

ACTION PLANS FOR

IMPROVEMENT

34

ACTION PLAN FOR ELA/LITERACY

Through professional development & curricular revisions, focus is on:

Building a common vision & approach to reading and writing K -12:

Implementation of best practices in reading and writing to nurture

independence and transfer of skills;

modeling of strategies and methods to support differentiation;

Align curricula with the NJ Student Learning Standards (NJSLS) and

developmentally -appropriate sequencing of instruction.

Research, evaluate, and implement a program for grammar and

vocabulary at the elementary levels.

Continue to improve word processing skills and embed appropriate

technology into learning.

Establish and implement intervention programs:

After School Academic Support Labs grades 3-12.

Intense Intervention School Programs for identified at-risk learners in

grades K-12.

35

ACTION PLAN FOR MATHEMATICS

Through professional development and curricular revisions, focus is on: Mathematical practices at developmental stages:

Focus on Concrete, Representational, Abstract Learning Modalities;

Use of manipulatives to ensure sound foundational learning.

Grades 7-12 Professional Development: Alignment of NJSLS standards across the curriculum;

Review of evidence statements to identify gaps in the curriculum;

Department meetings, PLC’s, Professional Development, etc.

Modeling of strategy and methods to support differentiation.

Alignment with the NJSLS and developmentally -appropriate sequencing of instruction.

Discuss and research programs and strategies to increase math fact fluency, grades K-8
