What is the SRA? • Is a state developed alternative to the HSPA; if students do not score proficient on the HSPA, they MUST pass the SRA process in order to graduate • Consists entirely of extended, open-ended items called Performance Assessment Tasks (PAT) in Language Arts Literacy and Mathematics
Upcoming Changes… • Standardize the SRA by having state test vendors assign and distribute the performance tasks to the districts • Improve the validity of scoring by establishing regional, vendor-supervised scoring centers, staffed by trained NJ teacher-scorers • Rename the SRA to reflect more fairly its close relationship to the CCCS on which the HSPA itself is based: i.e., Alternative High School Assessment (AHSA)
