In the spring 2015-2018, N.J. students took the PARCC. In the spring of 2019, N.J. students took the N.J.S.L.A. • English Language Arts and Literacy Assessments (ELA/L) in grades 3–10. • Mathematics Assessments in grades 3 – 8 and End of Course Assessments in Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II. Verona Public Schools N.J.’s Statewide Assessment Program: Year 5 In 2014, New Jersey adopted the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) to replace HSPA at the high school and previous NJASK in the elementary and middle school in language arts and mathematics.
Differences Between PARCC and NJSLA • The number of units for ELA will be reduced from three to two, resulting in a reduction of 75 minutes for grade three and 90 minutes for grades four through high school. • While there is a reduction in the number of units and test items, students will be assessed on the major claims of reading and writing and all subclaims. Verona Public Schools • Grades three to five math assessments will be reduced from four to three unitsresulting in a reduction of 60 minutes of testing time. • Grades six to eight math assessments will remain at three units, but the time allotted for each 80-minute unit will be reduced by 20 minutes per unit for a total reduction of 60 minutes in testing time. Within each unit, the number of test questions has been reduced. • Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II end-of-course tests will be reduced from three units to two units of 90 minutes each, for a total reduction of 90 minutes of testing time.
