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.
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.
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.
4
ESSA and Equity:
Accountability
• The standards are rigorous and will prepare children for successful
lives in the 21st century.
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.
• 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.

ESSA eliminated unnecessary double testing and allowed accelerated math students to participate in high school math Regents
Exams instead of the Grade 7 or 8 Math Test, which may lower the percentage proficient in Grades 7 and 8 as compared to other
grades. Note: Accelerated math course availability varies by district and school.

Conclusion
• All race and ethnicity groups made progress, continuing to
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.
