2. VISION FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION IN NEW JERSEY 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 21stcentury. 2

3. RAISING STANDARDS College and Career Ready Standards College and Career Ready Standards Align New Jersey high school standards and graduation requirements to college and workforce entry requirements. NJ High School Redesign Steering Committee (HSRSC - 2008) 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. New Jersey has adopted standards that are widely recognized as appropriate standards for college and career readiness. - College and Career Ready Taskforce (CCRT - 2012) 3

4. NEXT STEPS: REPLACE HSPA 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) 4

5. A System of Aligned Assessments A System of Aligned Assessments IMPROVING STUDENT ASSESSMENT 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) 2015: New Jersey adopted the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) assessments in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics. Current tests should be replaced with a system of end- of-course assessments. (CCRT - 2012) 5

6. NEW JERSEYS STATEWIDE ASSESSMENT PROGRAM In 2015, New Jersey adopted the Partnership for Assessment of 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. 6

7. PARCC CONSORTIUM PARCC CONSORTIUM The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) is a consortium of states that develop assessments to measure student achievement in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics. Arts/Literacy and Mathematics. English Language In addition to New Jersey District of Columbia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, New Mexico, Ohio, and Rhode Island participated in the 2014 2015 PARCC administrations. New Jersey, Arkansas, Colorado, 7

8. SETTING A NEW BASELINE SETTING A NEW BASELINE The PARCC assessments are based on the grades 3 8 and high school Common Core State Standards (CCSS). They focus on the skills students need in today s world, including critical thinking, problem solving, and reasoning. Because the PARCC assessments measure these complex skills, which are different from previous state tests, scores on the PARCC test will look lower. 8

10. SPRING 2015 ADMINISTRATION SPRING 2015 ADMINISTRATION The 2015 spring administration of PARCC English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics assessments included two test windows. The first window was for administration of the Performance Performance- -Based Assessment (PBA). Based Assessment (PBA). The second window was for the administration of the End End- -of of- -Year (EOY) assessment. Year (EOY) assessment. A student must have participated in both windows to receive a summative PARCC score. 10

11. SPRING 2015 SPRING 2015 PERFORMANCE BASED ASSESSMENT (PBA) PERFORMANCE BASED ASSESSMENT (PBA) The PBA administration occurred after approximately 75 percent of instructional time was complete. The ELA/L PBA focused on writing effectively when analyzing text. The mathematics PBA focused on applying skills and concepts and solving multi-step problems that required abstract reasoning, precision, perseverance, and strategic use of tools. 11

12. SPRING 2015 SPRING 2015 PARCC END OF YEAR (EOY) PARCC END OF YEAR (EOY) The EOY administration occurred after approximately 90 percent of instructional time was complete. For the EOY, students demonstrated their acquired skills and knowledge by responding to machine-scored item types. 12
