Measuring Student Proficiency

in Grades 3-8
English Language Arts
and Mathematics
August 22, 2019
ESSA and Equity
• NY’s ESSA plan aims to ensure that all students succeed and thrive
in school no matter who they are, where they live, where they go
to school or where they come from.

• NY’s ESSA plan is a set of interlocking strategies to promote


educational equity by providing support to districts and schools
as they work to ensure that every student succeeds.

• NY’s ESSA plan goes beyond ELA and math to include


science and social studies, acquisition of English proficiency by
ELLs and MLLs, and chronic absenteeism.

2
ESSA and Equity:
Strategies
• State assessments are one part of NY’s overall strategy to determine
the level of equity in schools and allocate resources but assessments
are not the only part.

• NY’s ESSA strategies to foster equity include to:


 Address disparities in training for teachers to help them be effective in
the classroom;
 Provide students more access to rigorous high school coursework;
 Make schools equally welcoming environments for all students;
 Increase fiscal transparency in school building spending;
 Place emphasis on importance of early learning as a strategy for lifelong
academic and social emotional success;
 Expand opportunities for parent and family engagement; and
 Use multiple measures to allow students to demonstrate proficiency in
state learning standards.

• NYSED will collect data for these ESSA indicators to see if


improvements in equity are being realized.

3
ESSA and Equity:
Assessments

• State assessments:
o Provide important information to teachers, administrators
and parents about how students, schools and school
districts are performing for planning purposes.
o Identify where the gaps in achievement persist
o Establish a foundation to determine which grades,
schools and groups of students need additional support.

• NY’s ESSA plan will evolve over time to add additional


measures of school quality and student success.

4
ESSA and Equity:
Accountability

• New York’s ESSA Plan:


 Is about equity – ensuring all students have access to a high-
quality education
 Recognizes and rewards strengths
 Incentivizes creating and expanding coursework and programs
that lead to student success; and
 Provides targeted help where help is needed.

• In 2019, identified 106 Target Districts, 245 Comprehensive


Support & Improvement and 125 Targeted Support &
Improvement schools

• In 2019, identified 562 Recognition Schools


5
Next Generation
Learning Standards
• Deliberate, inclusive and transparent approach with educators to
develop our Next Generation Learning Standards.

• The standards are rigorous and will prepare children for successful
lives in the 21st century.

• Work continues through partnerships with BOCES and Teacher


Centers to develop resources and professional learning
opportunities to provide deeper learning for teachers.

6
Next Generation Learning Standards &
Assessment Projected Timeline
• September 2017: Adopted Next Generation Standards
• 2017-2018 School Year (New Baseline): New two-day
assessments measuring the current standards; new performance
standard-setting process; professional development on Next
Generation Standards;
• 2018-2019 School Year: Two-day assessments measuring the
current standards; professional development continuing on Next
Generation Standards;
• 2019-2020 School Year: Two-day assessments measuring the
current standards; professional development continuing on Next
Generation Standards;
• September 2020: Full implementation of the Next Generation
Standards;
• Spring 2021 (New Baseline): New tests aligned to Next Generation
Learning Standards and new performance standard-setting process.

7
Computer-Based Testing
• More than 194,800 students took the operational tests on computer at 1,100 schools in
New York State offering grades 3-8 tests
 More than 185,000 students took the ELA tests on computer
 More than 130,000 students took the math tests on computer

• Some students encountered technical difficulties on the ELA test. NYSED paused testing
to address the difficulties and held the contractor accountable. Math CBT went more
smoothly.

• The Department remains committed to transitioning to CBT to:


 Provide access to technology and improved instructional tools for all students;
 CBT will allow NY to transition adaptive testing for special populations; and
 Help prepare students for the world we live in

• Maintain CBT in 2019-20 with additional measures in place to help ensure testing goes
smoothly:
 Maintain CBT as an option for districts/schools that have started implementation.
 Balance the number of students taking tests throughout the testing window.

slowly close the achievement gap
• Emphasis on fostering equity and closing gaps will continue
through:
 implementing NY’s ESSA plan;
 our My Brother’s Keeper movement;
 a renewed focus on IDEA compliance;
 placing emphasis on importance of early learning;
 expanding opportunities for parent and family engagement; and
 educating the whole child through social emotional learning,
culturally responsive-sustaining education and school climate
initiatives.
