  1. State Testing March 2006 Grades 3-8 (NJASK and GEPA)

  2. District Factor Grouping • DFG results compare our children’s test results to those in districts of similar socioeconomic status. Community wealth and educational levels are primary criteria. • Mendham Borough is a “J” district, the highest DFG rating, so our children’s work is compared to similar districts, the most competitive level of comparison. • A few other J districts are Harding, Mendham Twnshp, Millburn, Mt. Lakes, and Tewksbury.

  3. Nature of Comparisons • Comparing grade 3 and 4 results from the same year means comparing two differentcohorts’ results. • Comparing grade 3 of last year to grade 4 of this year means we are comparing the same students’ results, but on different tests.

  31. Special Education • The test results for students whose learning is supported by special education are included in these data. • Their results, when compared with special education students in other J districts, are generally above average.

  32. So let’s summarize… • Our children’s overall proficiency is very strong.

  33. And we see that… • Our largest interest is to address is Language Arts Literacy. The issues vary from grade to grade. • Our best performance is in areas of mathematics—especially in problem solving, in using mathematics.

  34. Curriculum Planning Language Arts Literacy • Implement instructional practices supported by the latest research • Provide on-going training utilizing the practices from Columbia University (Teachers College Writing Project) • Develop quarterly prompt, timed writing assessments that are aligned with writing units • Collect baseline, mid-year, and final writing assessments to check progress • Monitor writing units to ensure specific units are taught prior to the state test

  35. Curriculum Planning Mathematics K-4 • Develop stronger pre-assessments to help identify strengths and weaknesses of students • Plan time to articulate about student work within and across grade levels

  36. Curriculum Planning Mathematics 5-8 Recent changes to the math program • Rewrote math curriculum at grades 5-8 over the summer of 2006 • Developed a basic skills assessment for each grade level to ensure mastery of fundamental skills • Developed pre-assessments and administered within the first week of school to help identify student readiness

  37. Curriculum Planning Mathematics 5-8 Work to be done this year • Implement instructional practices that are supported by the latest research • Monitor newly implemented math sequence to ensure students receive the necessary support at each grade level • Provide time for teachers to analyze student work and share instructional practices • Develop unit tests that follow a similar format and weighting system as the state tests • Continue to train teachers in differentiated instruction

  38. Finally, thank you for… • Being here because you care to know and to help, and • Sharing the opportunity to contribute to the growth of these excellent children and young people with us.

  39. So let’s summarize… • Grade 3: 91.6% in LA: 96.4% in Math • Grade 4: 92.7% in LA; 95.6% in Math • Grade 5: 94.6% in LA; 94.6% in Math • Grade 6: 87.6% in LA; 79.0% in Math • Grade 7: 97.5% in LA; 87.5% in Math • Grade 8: 98.3% in LA; 93.1% in Math
