2. VISION FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION IN NEW JERSEY
“New Jersey will educate all students to prepare them to lead productive, fulfilling lives. Through a public education system that is seamlessly aligned from pre- school to college, students will gain the requisite academic knowledge and technical and critical thinking skills for life and work in the 21st century.”

3. Raising Standards
2009
New Jersey adopted higher course taking requirements for all students
2010
New Jersey adopted the common core state standards in English Language Arts and Mathematics

4. Raising Standards: NEXT STEPS
Replace HSPA
“Currently the New Jersey High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA) does not measure college or work readiness…”
“Further, New Jersey colleges and universities do not use scores from the HSPA for admissions or placement, because the test does not reflect postsecondary placement requirements.” (HSRSC )
2010 through 2015
New Jersey reviewed and then adopted a new statewide assessment

5. NEW JERSEY’S STATEWIDE ASSESSMENT PROGRAM
2015
New Jersey administered the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) to replace HSPA and previous assessments (NJASK 3-8) in the elementary and middle school in language arts and mathematics.
Students took PARCC English Language Arts and Literacy Assessments (ELA/L) in grades 3 – 11.
Students took PARCC Mathematics Assessments in grades 3 – 8 and End of Course Assessments in Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II.
