Measuring College and Career Readiness

Standardized Assessment Results: Spring 2019 Administration Middletown Township Public School District September 25, 2019

• Middletown Township Public Schools have adopted several types of

standardized assessments in order to adequately measure and monitor student progress against grade level/end of course standards in order to inform instruction, assist in setting personal learning goals, and identify areas in need of intervention as well as enrichment.

• Please visit the District’s website for more information regarding the

specific types of standardized assessments used during the 2019-2020 school year- click here.

Middletown Township Standardized Assessments 2019-2020

• The State ended its membership of interstate consortium that produced the

Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College & Careers (PARCC) assessments.

• Effective Spring 2019, the New Jersey Statewide Assessments were called:

○ New Jersey Student Learning Assessments-ELA (NJSLA-ELA) ○ New Jersey Student Learning Assessment-Mathematics (NJSLA-M)

• The new NJSLA Assessments time and length of tests were reduced from the

prior PARCC Assessments:

○ ELA units were reduced from three to two (75 to 90 minutes less overall) ○ Fewer testing blocks in Mathematics (60 to 90 minutes less overall)

Reminder: Changes to Statewide Assessments

• High School students were required to take four assessments instead
• f six: ELA 9 & 10 and End of Course Mathematics in 9th & 10th grade.
• Students are required to take and pass ELA 10 and Algebra I or

demonstrate proficiency through the approved alternate menu of assessment options, e.g. ACT, SAT, ASVAB, or Accuplacer, as a graduation requirement.

• In order to utilize one of the alternate options listed above, students

must participate and earn a score on the ELA 10 and Algebra I assessments.

Additional Changes to Statewide Assessments

IMPORTANT APPLICATIONS OF STANDARDIZED TEST DATA

• Examine current programs and curricula to determine any strengths and weaknesses

that may exist based on trends in the data.

■ Possible gaps in content coverage ■ Evaluate rigor of our learning opportunities and assessment practices ■ Implications for grades K to 2

• Allows for teacher self-reflection of current practices and curricula implementation

based on trends in data.

• Identify and plan for remediation of deficits in students’ growth toward meeting grade

level/course expectations as well as enrichment for students exceeding expectations.

• Assist in differentiation of instruction, e.g. inform strategy and small group instruction.
• Personalize learning for individual students, as they collaborate with teachers to set

goals based on collective assessment/performance data.

• Inform each Learning Design Team’s analysis and development of school-specific goals.

• The NJ Student Learning Standards, which reflect the Next Generation Science

Standards, have been fully implemented in Grades K-12 as of September 2017.

• New State Science assessments were developed for use in grades 5, 8, & 11

and administered for the first time this past Spring following field testing in Spring 2018. No data is available at this time as the state is still in the process

• f grading the assessments following summer sessions with teacher

committees who worked on this task and in which Middletown teachers participated.

• As was the expectation, the new exams were more rigorous than other state

science assessments administered in the past.
