◼ New Jersey has ended its membership in the interstate consortium that developed and used the PARCC assessment. ◼ Effective Spring 2019, the required New Jersey statewide assessments were called: ▪ New Jersey Student Learning Assessments – English Language Arts (NJSLA-ELA) ▪ New Jersey Student Learning Assessments – Mathematics (NJSLA-M) ◼ With this change came adjustments to the time and length of the assessments: ▪ Fewer ELA Units(75-90 minute reduction in time) ▪ Fewer Math Units (60-90 minute reduction in time)

REMINDER: 2019 CHANGES TO STATE ASSESSMENTS

SLIDE 3

◼ In March 2019, the NJDOE issued a notification that 11th grade students would no longer be required to take the end-of-course statewide assessments (NJSLA) in either ELA or Mathematics ◼ Effective Spring 2019, required NJSLA assessments are: ▪ ELA 09 ▪ ELA 10 ▪ Grade 9 Math End-of-Course ▪ Grade 10 Math End-of-Course ◼ IMPORTANT: For graduation, students are required to take and pass ELA 10 and Algebra I -or- demonstrate proficiency through the approved alternate menu of assessment options

▪ **To qualify for alternate pathway, students must take and receive a score on the ELA 10 and Algebra 1 assessment

Subgroup Performance and Alternate/Other Assessments

◼ Many subgroups related to Race/Ethnicity have fewer than ten students, which prevents us from disaggregating their data for confidentiality purposes. The following trend analysis can be made: ▪ Across all grades, the percentage of students meeting and exceeding expectations in the Hispanic and Black Racial/Ethnic subgroups has shown growth in ELA and Mathematics. ◼ Of the subgroups related to Program, Section 504 and LEP have fewer than ten students. Trend analysis: ▪ Section 504 & LEP performance has risen in ELA year-to-year ▪ Section 504 performance in Math has remained steady, while LEP performance in Math has declined.

▪ ACCESS for ELLs (ACCESS) is the collective name for WIDA's suite of summative English language proficiency assessments ▪ ACCESS is taken annually by English language learners in Kindergarten through Grade 12 in WIDA Consortium member states ▪ The assessments measure students' academic English language in four language domains: Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing ▪ Students' ACCESS scores reflect proficiency levels ranging from Level 1 (Entering) to Level 6 (Reaching). ▪ Educators use ACCESS results, along with other WIDA resources, to make decisions about students' English academic language and to facilitate their language development.

  • Designed for students with the most significant cognitive

disabilities for whom general state assessments are not appropriate, even with accommodations.

  • Offer these students a way to show what they know and can

do in mathematics, English language arts, and science.

  • Help parents and educators establish high academic

expectations for students with significant cognitive disabilities.

  • Results can inform teachers’ instructional decisions while also

meeting statutory requirements for reporting student achievement as required by state accountability programs.

Interventions and Implications for Practice

slide-17
SLIDE 17
  • Ongoing analysis of formative and summative assessment data

○ Analyze all performance reports, evidence statements, etc. ○ Strategically plan instruction and interventions based on results

  • Digital assessment and instructional platforms

○ Provides opportunities to practice online assessment skills ○ Provides actionable data to drive responsive instruction

  • Focused professional development for teachers to enhance

understanding of standards and best instructional practices

  • Continue to review/revise/refine curricula to ensure appropriate

standards alignment with a suggested scope and sequence of instruction.

  • Implemented new curricular resources to ensure alignment,

promote higher-level thinking, and enhance instruction

  • AP Institute

○ Title IV funding to provide more opportunities with practice exams

  • Spring 2018 6-week “boot camp” to brush up on skills prior to

NJSLA, funded through Title I. This was successful and will be repeated.

  • Academic Support Instruction for academically at-risk students
  • Title I after school programs

○ Small group targeted instruction in ELA and Mathematics

  • Teachers in each content area are available after school one day

a week for direct support for students in their subject.

  • Homework help before and after school daily

Implications for Practice: Data Analysis

Evidence Statement Analysis tables allow us to compare our performance on an item-by-item basis with state performance and adjust our instruction to address areas of need. **Note - this is a sample from PARCC, NJSLA reports look similar and remain embargoed.

◼ Increase in students scoring 3 or higher on all Advanced Placement exams. ▪ 8% growth from Spring 2018 → Spring 2019 ◼ 97% Graduation Rate-working with individuals with disabilities to achieve this accomplishment through their IEPs ◼ 2016 → 2018: 200 point increase in the scores on the PSAT; 100 point increase on the SAT ◼ 83% of students attending 2 and 4 year colleges from the Class of 2019 ◼ NMSQT Semifinalist from the Class of 2019 ◼ Alumni data - 75% of our graduates from the Class of 2017 returned to college for their second year-this is a significant statistic as the national retention rate for students returning for a second year of college is 33%. HHRS graduates are PREPARED!

◼ A smooth transition for 7th graders due to the Peer Mentor program; seniors met monthly with their students and bonded with them through fun activities and learning experiences-program has expanded this year with more planned activities and two days of training for the mentors ◼ All students, staff and parents trained in Lifelines curriculum (suicide prevention) and it was taught at all levels in health classes ◼ Character Strong software to improve culture and climate of the

  • school. Bullying incidents declined in the 2018-2019 school year

◼ Student recognitions in the Arts: three Basie nominations; Garden State Film Winner; two finalists in the NJ Teen Arts Festival; Bronze and Silver awards in SkillsUSA for Digital Video and Promotion Bulletin Board
