1. Measuring College and Career Readiness PARCC RESULTS: YEAR ONE ROXBURY SCHOOL DISTRICT JANUARY 4, 2016

2. “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 21 st century.” VISION FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION IN NEW JERSEY

3. 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. RAISING STANDARDS College and Career Ready Standards “Align New Jersey high school standards and graduation requirements to college and workforce entry requirements.” – NJ High School Redesign Steering Committee (HSRSC - 2008) New Jersey has adopted standards that “are widely recognized as appropriate standards for college and career readiness.” - College and Career Ready Taskforce (CCRT - 2012)

4. 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 - 2008)

5. 2015: New Jersey adopted the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) assessments in English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics. IMPROVING STUDENT ASSESSMENT A System of Aligned Assessments “Replace HSPA with a series of end of course assessments in math… and a proficiency exam in language arts literacy that are aligned with the expectations of higher education and the workplace.” (HSRSC - 2008) Current tests should be “replaced with a system of end- of-course assessments.” (CCRT - 2012)

6.  In 2015, New Jersey adopted the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) to replace HSPA and previous assessments 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.

22. QUESTIONS TO GUIDE PARCC DATA REFLECTION  How will we use PARCC data to identify strengths and gaps that exist in curriculum and instruction?  How will we use PARCC data to inform the conversations of our educators?  What can we learn about where additional professional resources are needed to meet the learning needs of all students?

24. District and School Level Data: Math, ELA, reading and writing, and also by grade levels Disaggregated data, by subgroups Disaggregated data by categories, (i.e., standards sub-claims) Item analysis Student-level analysis YEAR ONE DATA ANALYSIS PLAN: DRILLING DOWN
