5 Understanding the PARCC Score Report and What s Next? Presented by: Anthony Grieco, Superintendent of Schools October 2016

6 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 preschool to college, students will gain the requisite academic knowledge and technical and critical thinking skills for life and work in the 21 st century. The NJ High School Redesign Steering Committee

7 New Jersey s Statewide Assessment Program 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 Students took PARCC Mathematics Assessments in grades 3 8 and End of Course Assessments in Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II.

10 Performance Level Setting: What is it? In the summer of 2015, educators and experts determined what score each student must earn on the assessment in order to achieve a particular performance level. States nominated a variety of stakeholders to participate in 12 in-person panels to review the assessments. Recommendations go to PARCC Governing Board for approval K-12 educators Postsecondary faculty Grade-Span Panels 10

11 Five Performance Levels PARCC uses five performance levels that delineate the knowledge, skills, and practices students are able to demonstrate: Place a purple frame around images Level 1: Did Not Yet Meet Expectations Level 2: Partially Met Expectations Level 3: Approached Expectations Level 4: Met Expectations Level 5: Exceeded Expectations

12 The Score Report 12

13 What Parents Need to Know About the Score Reports The PARCC tests replace the old state tests. They measure how well students are performing against the new state standards that guide math and English language arts instruction. The PARCC tests are only one of several measures, including report card grades and in-class performance, that are used to determine a student's academic achievement. They do not impact a student s GPA. The score reports are a valuable tool for parents and teachers. The report provides a deeper level of information that can be used to better understand where students are doing well and where they need additional support. This helps teachers and parents support students. 13

14 What Parents Need to Know About the Score Reports The PARCC tests moves away from multiple choice questions to ones that allow students to demonstrate a real understanding of what they know and can do by writing essays, solving real world problems, and reading and analyzing complex text all critical skills in the real-world. Your child s score may look lower this year because the tests measured more complex skills. A low score does not mean your child did not improve or learned less, but instead that the expectations have been raised for students. The first year s scores are a new baseline from which to progress from and measure against moving forward. 14

16 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?
