  1. Midland Park PUBLIC Schools 2011-2012 Assessment Profile Dr. Marie Cirasella, Superintendent of Schools Dr. John Schembari, Director of Curriculum, Instruction &Assessment Mr. Matthew Murphy, Principal, Godwin School Ms. Danielle Bache, Principal, Highland School Mr. Nicholas Capuano, Principal, Midland Park High School Ms. Barbara Gemza, Interim Director of Special Services Presented at the Midland Park Board of Education Meeting Of November 6, 2012

  2. NJDOE Assessments & New school accountability system • Standards-based assessments since 1975; • All students assessed in Grades 3-8 & 11; • Tested Areas: Language Arts, Mathematics, Science (Grades 4 and 8 Biology); • Classification of schools under NCLB Flexibility Request (Priority, Focus, Reward); • NJDOE replaces Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) benchmarks with Student Growth Percentile (SGP) measures for Grades 3-8, and with Graduation Rates for Grade 11.

  3. Student Growth Percentile (SGP) • Focuses on individual student’s academic achievement/progress over time (students at all proficiency levels must demonstrate growth); • Intends to determine rate (faster/slower) of student achievement/progress as compared to grade level students statewide with similar NJASK history; • Issues with an SGP model: • Test difficulty varies each year as different questions are used; • Performance/achievement varies each year as different cohorts of students are tested.

  4. Common core state standards • Adopted by NJ in 2010 (46 states and District of Columbia); • Mathematics, Literacy (ELA, Social Studies/History, Science)’; • Fewer benchmarked standards that allow international comparisons (CCSS). NJCCCS (2004) Grade 7 English Language Arts (ELA): Produce written and oral work that demonstrates comprehension of informational materials. CCSS(2011) Grade 7 English Language Arts (ELA): Determine two or more central ideas in a text and analyze their development over the course of the text; provide an objective summary of the text.

  5. Regional achievement centers(rac) • NJDOE shifts from a system of oversight/monitoring to service delivery and support; • RACs to support alignment of resources to eight proven turnaround principles: • Climate & Culture • Principal Leadership • Quality of Instruction • Standards-based Curriculum, Assessment, Intervention System • Use of Data to improve Student Achievement • Effective Staffing • Academically-focused Family & Community Engagement • Redesigning School Time

  6. PARCC: NJDOE Transition to “next generation” Assessment • Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Career (PARCC): • NJASK and HSPA administered through 2013-14; • PARCC Assessments administered in 2014-15; • Consortium of 23 states; NJ is a PARCC Governing State (May 2011); • PARCC will provide four assessments throughout instructional year; • Opportunities to share resources across states; • Other PARCC states: New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Massachusetts, Maryland.

  7. Education transformation task force report • Released on September 5, 2012; • 428 regulatory changes to be considered by Commissioner of Education and the State Bard of Education; • 46 statutory changes to be considered by the legislature; • Concrete recommendations to improve statewide accountability system.
