UPDATE: NEW JERSEYS NEW STATE ASSESSMENTS Jay Doolan, Assistant Commissioner Division of Educational Standards and Programs Timothy Peters, Director Office of State Assessments New Jersey Department of Education June 20, 2007

BACKGROUND... Assessment Advisory Committee convened December 2005; Committee consisted of representatives from key educational organizations (NJSBA, NJPSA, NJEA, etc.) and from business community, as well as DOE policy makers; Resulting RFP for Grades 3-8 sought to embody vision and priorities of Advisory Committee; RFP released January 26, 2007; contract awarded to Measurement Inc (and its partner Harcourt) June 6, 2007.

Key Themes of New Program Formative assessments: resources for locally administered, ongoing diagnostic and benchmark assessments to guide instruction; Professional development: training for teachers in assessment literacy and in making use of assessment resources and practices; Score reporting that provides schools more information about student achievement; Statewide summative assessments administered later in the year, i.e., May not March; Maximum transparency.

Additional Features Provision for eventually including performance assessments; Shorter, more diverse LAL reading passages; Increased use of web-based score reporting, and integration of statewide student ID; Provision for piloting online testing, with eventual transition to full online mode; Spanish-language versions of tests; Annual testing irregularity detection plan.

IMPLEMENTATION Grades 5- 8 implemented ; Grades 3-4 implemented ; Testing window for 2008: April 28-May 15; Scores reported to districts early July 2008; Professional development and formative assessment provided throughout each school year starting September 2007; Harcourts Learnia program is heart of formative assessment program – online diagnostic and benchmark assessments that allow focusing on specific content strands and impediments to learning.

BENEFITS AND GOALS Fuller integration by schools of assessment practices into daily instructional program; Continuity between formative and summative assessments; Consolidation and improved efficiency: by 2009, one contractor for grades 3-8; Promotion of student achievement through challenging test content, and more of it (more test items, and more open-ended content: e.g., shorter LAL reading passages allow us to use more passages and more test questions.).

High School Assessment Update High School reform initiatives currently underway will eventually transform HSPA; American Diploma Project favors end-of-course testing model; HSPA Science test will be replaced by Biology end-of- course test in May 2008; NJDOE piloting Achieve-developed Algebra II end-of- course test May 2008; HSPA tests for math and LAL to continue until new High School redesign and assessment policy completed.
