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 21st century.”
The NJ High School Redesign Steering Committee
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 3 – 11.
• Students took PARCC Mathematics Assessments in grades 3 – 8 and End of
Course Assessments in Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II.

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.

Cherry Hill Data At A Glance
Cherry Hill Data At A Glance
• Cherry Hill PARCC ELA participation rates ranged from 92% in grade 3 to 47% in
grade 11 based on testing site. Districtwide there was in increase in participation
rates, however there is still a low participation rate in grade 11, below 50%. The low
participation rates in both 10th and 11th grades make overall interpretation of
student achievement based on PARCC difficult for the those grade levels for our
district.
• The State showed similar or improved scores from 2015 to 2016 for every subject,
every grade level except ELA 11. Cherry Hill results were more varied.
• In ELA, in grade levels 3-7, the percentage of Cherry Hill students scoring at a level
4 or 5, meeting or exceeding expectations, was higher than the State in each grade
level.
Cherry Hill Data At A Glance
• In Math, at all grade levels except grade 8, the percentage of Cherry Hill students
scoring at a level 4 or 5, meeting or exceeding expectations, was higher than the
State.
• Grade 7 and 8 Mathematics results exclude the results of 7th and 8th grade students
who took Algebra 1, Intro to Functions, or Geometry. Those students’ results are
included in the Algebra 1 and Geometry results.
• Increased student enrollment in Algebra courses in grade 8 in 2015-2016 reduced
the number of students taking grade 8 Math. This could be a primary reason for the
significant decline of the grade 8 Math scores.

What are Evidence Statement Tables?
Evidence Statement Tables describe the knowledge and skills that
an assessment item or a task elicits from students. These are
aligned directly to the Common Core State Standards.
What are Evidence Statement Reports?
Evidence Statement Reports are data reports provided to the District which
rank the standards in order based upon how students performed on questions
within each standard. The ranking goes from left to right, hardest to easiest,
based upon student performance.
‘Evidence Statement Reports are useless if only Administration has access to
them. We need to get them into the hands of teachers. These reports are not
about evaluating the teachers, but about evaluating the standards.’
-Robin Knutelsky, NJ Department of Education (June 2016)
Example of Evidence Statement Report
How can Evidence Statement Tables and
Reports be used to Inform Instruction?
• District and School Level Data
• Data by subgroups and categories
• Item analysis using Evidence
Statements
• Instruction
• Maps
• Data
• Reflection

• Using the PARCC report to

• Understanding the evidence

• Reviewing the standard and

Framing the Conversations About Evidence
Statement Tables & PARCC Results

•
•
What strengths, weaknesses and discrepancies do you see in the data?
What instructional practices or shifts are prevalent that link to the PARCC data?
Where might you now shift instructional practices?
Are there other assessments that link to the same findings confirmed in the
PARCC data?
• What additional professional resources are necessary to do your work?
