Measuring
College and
Career Readiness
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 pre-school to college, students will
gain the requisite academic knowledge and
technical and critical thinking skills for life and
work in the 21st century.”
College and Career Ready Standards
RAISING
STANDARDS
“Align New Jersey high school standards
and graduation requirements to college
and workforce entry requirements.” – NJ
High School Redesign Steering
Committee (HSRSC - 2008)
2009: New Jersey
adopted higher
course taking
requirements for all
students.
New Jersey has adopted standards that
“are widely recognized as appropriate
standards for college and career
readiness.” - College and Career Ready
Taskforce (CCRT - 2012)
2010: New Jersey
adopted the
Common Core State
Standards in English
Language Arts and
Mathematics.
“Currently the New Jersey High
School Proficiency Assessment
(HSPA) does not measure college or
work readiness…Further, New
Jersey colleges and universities do
not use scores from the HSPA for
admissions or placement, because
the test does not reflect
postsecondary placement
requirements.” (HSRSC - 2008)
NEXT STEPS:
REPLACE HSPA
A System of Aligned Assessments
“Replace HSPA with a series of end of
course assessments in math… and a
proficiency exam in language arts
literacy that are aligned with the
expectations of higher education and
the workplace.” (HSRSC - 2008)
Current tests should be “replaced with
a system of end-of-course
assessments.” (CCRT - 2012)
IMPROVING
STUDENT
ASSESSMENT
2015: New Jersey
adopted the
Partnership for
Assessment of
Readiness for College
and Careers (PARCC)
assessments in
English Language
Arts/Literacy and
Mathematics.
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.
PARCC PERFORMANCE LEVELS
◼ Level 1: Not yet meeting grade-level expectations
◼ Level 2: Partially meeting grade-level expectations
◼ Level 3: Approaching grade-level expectations
◼ Level 4: Meeting grade-level expectations
◼ Level 5: Exceeding grade-level expectations

freshman met or exceeded expectations in PARCC Algebra I yet 67% received Cs or better in their course.
* Based on an overall 84% match rate at a student-level between NJSMART course roster collection and PARCC
Algebra I assessment data.

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?
