Measuring College and Career Readiness

PARCC RESULTS AND The 2015 BASELINE

DELRAN TOWNSHIP SCHOOL DISTRICT

A PRESENTATION TO PARENTS AND STAKEHOLDERS

JANUARY 12, 2016

“New Jersey will educate all students to prepare them to lead productive, fulfilling lives. Through a public education system that is seamlessly aligned from pre-school to college, students will gain the requisite academic knowledge and technical and critical thinking skills for life and work in the 21st century.”

PARCC - HOW DID WE GET HERE? A VISION FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION IN NEW JERSEY

2009: New Jersey adopted higher course taking requirements for all students. 2010: New Jersey adopted the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

RAISING STANDARDS

PARCC: How Did We Get Here? College and Career Ready Standards Arrive in New Jersey

“Align New Jersey high school standards and graduation requirements to college and workforce entry requirements.” – NJ High School Redesign Steering Committee (HSRSC - 2008) New Jersey has adopted standards that “are widely recognized as appropriate standards for college and career readiness.” - College and Career Ready Taskforce (CCRT - 2012)

NEXT STEPS: REPLACE HSPA

PARCC: How Did We Get Here? “Currently the New Jersey High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA) does not measure college or work readiness…Further, New Jersey colleges and universities do not use scores from the HSPA for admissions or placement, because the test does not reflect postsecondary placement requirements.” (HSRSC - 2008)

2015: New Jersey adopted the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) assessments in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics.

IMPROVING STUDENT ASSESSMENT

PARCC: How Did We Get Here? A System of Aligned Assessments “Replace HSPA with a series of end of course assessments in math… and a proficiency exam in language arts literacy that are aligned with the expectations of higher education and the workplace.” (HSRSC - 2008) Current tests should be “replaced with a system of end-of-course assessments.” (CCRT - 2012)

฀In 2015, New Jersey adopted the Partnership for Assessment

• f Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) to replace HSPA

and previous assessments in the elementary and middle school in language arts and mathematics. ฀Students took PARCC English Language Arts and Literacy Assessments (ELA/L) in grades 3 – 11. ฀Students took PARCC Mathematics Assessments in grades 3 – 8 and End of Course Assessments in Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II.

NEW JERSEY’S STATEWIDE ASSESSMENT PROGRAM

฀ Level 1: Not yet meeting grade-level expectations ฀Level 2: Partially meeting grade-level expectations ฀Level 3: Approaching grade-level expectations ฀Level 4: Meeting grade-level expectations ฀Level 5: Exceeding grade-level expectations

PARCC PERFORMANCE LEVELS

฀ Overall Performance

▪ Indicates the degree to which your child has met grade level expectations in mathematics ▪ Level 1 through Level 5

฀ Additional Information About Your Child’s Score

▪ Shows how your child performed in each of 4 or 5 areas ▪ 3 levels indicated by arrow symbols ▪ up arrow: meets or exceeds expectations ▪ sideways arrow: nearly meets expectations ▪ down arrow: below expectations

YOUR CHILD’S SCORE REPORT: ELA

Research Simulation Task (RST) For the RST, students are asked to analyze an informational topic presented through several sources. Students answer a series of questions and writing a response to a prompt, synthesizing information from multiple sources. Literary Analysis Task (LAT) For the LAT, students read and analyze two pieces of literature. Students write an analytic response to a prompt based on the literary texts. Narrative Writing Task (NWT) Students read a literary text from a grade-appropriate short story, novel or poem. Students write a narrative response to a prompt based on this literary text.

YOUR CHILD’S SCORE REPORT: ELA

GUIDE TO ELA/LITERACY RELEASED ITEMS: UNDERSTANDING SCORING Example of the Reading Comprehension trait from the grades 6-11 rubric: Reading Comprehension of Key Ideas and Details:

Score Point 4 The student response demonstrates full comprehension of ideas stated explicitly and inferentially by providing an accurate analysis and supporting the analysis with effective and convincing textual evidence. Score Point 3 The student response demonstrates comprehension of ideas stated explicitly and/ or inferentially by providing a mostly accurate analysis, and supporting the analysis with adequate textual evidence.

YOUR CHILD’S SCORE REPORT: ELA

Score Point 2 The student response demonstrates basic comprehension of ideas stated explicitly and/or inferentially by providing a generally accurate analysis and supporting the analysis with basic textual evidence. Score Point 1 The student response demonstrates limited comprehension

• f ideas stated explicitly and/or inferentially by providing a minimally

accurate analysis and supporting the analysis with limited textual evidence. Score Point 0 The student response demonstrates no comprehension of ideas by providing inaccurate or no analysis and little to no textual evidence.
