Understanding PARCC and other Assessments

Wall Township Public SchoolsNovember 17, 2015

This presentation will be updated as more information becomes available on Wall Township results from 2015. This presentation is current as of November 23, 2015.

Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) PARCC is a multi-state consortium that allows states to

pool resources and expertise to develop a meaningful, comparable, high-quality assessment that can be used to guide efforts to continually improve the educational system by supporting teaching and learning, identifying struggling schools, informing teacher development, and providing parents with feedback on their own child’s strengths and challenges

Why did NJ change to the PARCC? Discrepancies emerged between student proficiency rates

as reported by NJ’s state tests and the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)

About 32% of NJ students entering 4-year colleges and 70% of first-time students entering 2-year colleges require one or more remedial classes before they can begin taking credit-bearing coursework

New Jersey’s tests, and the HSPA in particular, gave parents and educators a false sense of achievement

PARCC is aligned to the Common Core State Standards which were adopted by New Jersey

A Closer Look at the HSPA Problem

National Measures New Jersey Measures

In 2013, 41% of NJ’s 12th grade students met the NAEP definition of College and Career Readiness in reading

Of the graduating class of 2015 who took the SAT, 44% met the College Board’s benchmark of College and Career Readiness by achieving a composite score of 1550 across the three sections of the test

Of the graduating class of 2015 who took the ACT, 43% met the ACT’s benchmark of College and Career Readiness by meeting individual performance levels in four subject areas of the ACT

Over 90% of 11th grade students were proficient or advanced proficient on the 2014 HSPA in LAL

Approximately 80% of 11th grade students were proficient or advanced proficient on the 2014 HSPA in math

ACT, SAT and AP Results in Wall Township In 2014 78% of the students took the ACT or SAT 60% of the graduates in 2015 indicated that they would be

attending 4 year colleges, 27% indicated that they would be attending 2 year colleges (87% overall)

34% of the students in Wall met the ACT measure of college and career readiness

56% of the students who took the SAT scored 1550 or higher, an 10% increase in four years 2010-2011: 45.8% 2011-2012: 54.6% 2012-2013: 50.9% 2013-2014: 56.8% 2014-2015: 56.0%

What about PISA? Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is a triennial

international survey which aims to evaluate educational systems worldwide by testing the skills and knowledge of 15-year old students

Since the year 2000, every three years, fifteen-year-old students from randomly selected schools worldwide take tests in the key subjects: reading, mathematics and science, with a focus on one subject in each year of assessment. In 2012, some economies also participated in the optional assessments of Problem Solving and Financial Literacy.

Students take a test that lasts 2 hours. The tests are a mixture of open-ended and multiple-choice questions that are organized in groups based on a passage setting out a real-life situation. A total of about 390 minutes of test items are covered. Students take different combinations of different tests.

70 countries/economies participated in the 2012 PISA. Approximately the same # are expected to participate in 2015.

US Performance on the PISA- 2012 Mathematics Below average- ranked 27th (Mean score was 481)

Mean score was 494 overall Top performer (China) mean score was 613

Comparable with Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Norway, Portugal, the Russian Federation, the Slovak Republic, Spain and Sweden.

25% of the US students did not reach baseline Level 2 on the PISA US students show particular weaknesses in performing mathematics

tasks with higher cognitive demands, such as taking real-world situations, translating them into mathematical terms, and interpreting mathematical aspects in real-world problems

An alignment study between the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics and PISA suggests that a successful implementation of the Common Core Standards would yield significant performance gains also in PISA.

US Performance on the PISA- 2012 Reading Average-ranked 17th (Mean score was 498)

Mean score was 496 overall Top performer (China) mean score was 570

Comparable with Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Norway, Portugal, the United Kingdom and Viet Nam.

PISA Observations Socio-economic disadvantage has a notable impact on student performance

in the United States: 15% of the variation in student performance in the United States is explained by students’ socio-economic status. In other words, in the United States, two students from a different socio-economic background vary much more in their learning outcomes than is normally the case in these other countries/economies.

Disadvantaged students show less engagement, drive, motivation and self-beliefs than advantaged students.

Punctuality and attendance at school have strong associations with performance across all countries. Some 30% of 15-year-old students in the United States reported that they had arrived late for school at least once in the two weeks prior to the PISA test, slightly below the OECD average of 35%, and some 20% of students in the United States reported that they had skipped a day of school in the previous two weeks, above the OECD average of 15%. Those who had skipped a class or a day of school scored 24 points lower in mathematics, on average, than those who hadn’t.
