Analysis of 2009 Statewide Assessment Results Vincent Caputo Assistant Superintendent November 17, 2009
Overview of Statewide Assessments • New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge (NJASK 3 to 8) • Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science (Science in grades 4 and 8 only) • High School Proficiency Assessment – (HSPA - grade 11) – LAL and Math • End-of-Course (EOC) Biology Test • Biology Performance Assessment • End-of-Course (EOC) Algebra Test
Other Assessments • DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills) – primary grades • InView section of the Terra Nova - grade 2 • NJPASS 9 and 10 – LAL and Math • Future End-of-Course Tests to replace HSPA
New Proficiency Levels: Higher Standards for NJASK 3, 4 • Completely redesigned tests to provide better information on mastery of NJCCCS • “Raised the bar” • More students statewide in the “partially proficient” category
New Proficiency Levels: Higher Standards for NJASK 3, 4 • Example of impact: (grade 3 LAL) • 2008: 40 points; 16 correct for score of 200 • 2009: 50 points; 25 correct for score of 200 See table for comparisons of statewide proficiency rates
