Data Analysis
Examine test scores:
• in comparison to comparable districts
• from a multi-year perspective
• from a longitudinal perspective
• from a building perspective
• in conjunction with local assessments
Recognize areas of strength and areas of need
Evaluate the curriculum
Setting Priorities & Moving Ahead
• Design ongoing local assessment that will drive the curriculum
• Align measurable building objectives with test improvement priorities
• Balance test improvement strategies with good pedagogy
• Continue to align staff development with needs of the district
• Use multiple measures of performance
What Does It All Mean?
• NCLB No Child Left Behind
• AYP Adequate Yearly Progress
• NJASK New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge
• HSPA High School Proficiency Assessment
• APA Alternative Proficiency Assessment
• LEP Limited English Proficient
• IEP Individualized Education Plan
• AHSA Alternative High School Assessment
Background
• No Child Left Behind Act 2001
– Signed into law on January 8, 2002
• This law represents the most significant changes to the Elementary and Secondary Schools Act (ESEA) since its enactment in 1965
• August 2011: States allowed to apply for waivers
Introduction
NCLB contains four major education reforms:
►Increased focus on accountability
►Increased flexibility and local control
► Expanded educational options for parents, and
► Focus on research-based methods and practices
Guidelines for Assessing Students
Goal:All students will be assessed
• 95% of each student group must participate in the assessment process
• Students enrolled for <1 year will not be included in the accountability process
• Students with severe disabilities must be assessed utilizing the APA
• Out-of-district students are included in their home school’s accountability process
• LEP students must also be assessed
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)
Student progress is also assessed by student groups:
• Ethnicity: (American Indian, Asian, Black, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, White, Other)
• Income: (Economically Disadvantaged/Non-Economically Disadvantaged)
• LEP
• Special Education

Areas to address moving forward
• Special Ed. Subgroup
• DFG alignment in HSPA/EOC Biology
• Aligning curriculum with Common Core standards for ‘14-’15 testing cycle
• Setting expectations for students/parents K-8 ( stress reduction)
What are we doing to improve instruction?
• Focus on Literacy
• Reading Specialist and training
• Systematic staff development
– Implementation of K-5 LA Program Evaluation Recs. (Year 2)
– Assessment – Linking assessment to instruction
– Writing process
– Word study
– Reading comprehension/fluency
– Using online data analysis tool
– Align curriculum with Common Core Standards
– Performance Tracker
Goal: To Leave No Child Behind
• Objective: Meet Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) with all subgroups.– Strategies:
• Determine level of proficiency required for 2012 administration of NJ standardized tests.
• Identify sub-groups in each building who are ‘at-risk’ for not meeting AYP.
• Develop specific objectives to meet the needs of sub-groups.
• Identify resources and personnel needed to achieve objectives.
• Ensure success on APA
