DATA … RESOURCES … SUCCESSFUL STRATEGIES
What Do We Know About the NJ State Data?
What are parents told? What can they access?
What PARCC data resources can teachers access?
PLDs: What are they; access for your class(es)
Analyze data; estimate new year results
Find RESOURCES to use with your students
Experience DIFFERENTIATED ACTIVITIES to
improve student engagement and understanding.
Year One Data Analysis Plan: DRILLING DOWN
Moving Forward with PARCC Data
Teachers can use spring 2015 data to
• Analyze
– their whole class
– each students’ performance by level
– each students’ performance by specific questions and
standards from their test. (available March 2016)
• find released test questions that match last spring’s test
• evaluate the instructional tools, strategies, methods and
interventions they are implementing in the classroom and
adjust, as needed.
• Teachers can access and use online content resources,
activities, games, strategies.
HOW do you MAKE SENSE of the DATA?
STATE-WIDE RESULTS
PARCC Statewide Results
•
•
•
In the 2014-15 school year, approximately 850,000 students
across New Jersey took the PARCC assessments.
… nearly 99% of New Jersey’s students took the PARCC test on
computer platforms, a percentage that led states in the PARCC
consortium and positions New Jersey schools to be a national
leader in integrating educational technology in classroom
instruction and preparing students for the technology
expectations in college and careers.
This in itself is a great success story in terms of improving
educational outcomes.

When you create an assessment:
• “Scaffold items in increasing difficulty to help
students incrementally apply mathematical
concepts and skills for solving multi-step word
problems.”
• “Use extended-response (ER) items to collect
evidence of students’ ability to reason
mathematically. Student responses serve as
classroom examples of meeting expectations.”

What Parents are Told about PARCC
and PARCC DATA:
What Parents are Told:
This test is just one measure of
how well your child is performing
academically.
Other information, such as grades, teacher feedback
and scores on other tests will help determine your
child’s academic strengths and needs.
What Parents are Told
How do the test scores this year
compare to those in past years?
The knowledge and skills tested this year are
different - and in some cases more rigorous than in the past. If your child’s score is different
than you expected, meet with your child’s
teacher to understand what that means and
how you can help your child improve his or her
performance.
How will my child’s school
use the test results?
Results from the test give your
child’s teacher information about his/her
academic performance.
The results also give your school and school
district important information to make
improvements to the education program and to
teaching.
HOW can I use the
Math Scores?
• The best way to make sense of these
• scores is to compare them to the average for
students who met the expectations and the
average for students in your child’s school,
district, and state.
• Also, look at the information below the scores.
How is your child doing in each area of
mathematics? Ask your child’s teacher how you
can give your child more opportunities to be
challenged and how you can support his/her
academic needs.

(sub claim A)
In this area, your child did as well as or better than
students who met the expectations.
(Algebra-II)
Students meet expectations by solving problems
involving rational exponents, writing and
interpreting algebraic expressions, rational and
radical equations, graphs of functions, creating
linear, quadratic, and exponential functions, and
making inferences and justifying conclusions
from data.
ADDITIONAL & SUPPORTING CONTENT
(sub claim B)
In this area, your child did almost as well as
students who met the expectations.
(Algebra-II)

systems of equations, trigonometric
functions, interpreting data, and probability.
Expressing Mathematical Reasoning
(sub claim C)
In this area, your child did as well as or better
than students who met the expectations.
(Algebra-II)
Students meet expectations by creating
and justifying logical mathematical
solutions and analyzing and correcting
the reasoning of others. (generic)
MODELING & APPLICATION
(sub claim D)
In this area, your child did as well as or better
than students who met the expectations.
(Algebra-II)
Students meet expectations by solving realworld problems, representing and solving
problems with symbols, reasoning

performance levels that delineate the knowledge, skills,
and practices students are able to demonstrate. These
levels are:

1. Which students were unable to demonstrate proficiency on
this assessment?
1. Which students are highly proficient and would benefit from
extended or accelerated learning?
1. Did one or more of my colleagues have excellent results in an
area where my students struggled? What can I learn from my
colleagues to improve my individual practice?
1. Is there an area in which none of us achieved the results we
expected and do we need to learn as a team to teach this skill
or concept more effectively?
