State Testing March 2006
Grades 3-8(NJASK and GEPA)
2
District Factor Grouping
DFG results compare our children’s test results to those in districts of similar socioeconomic status. Community wealth and educational levels are primary criteria. Mendham Borough is a “J” district, the highest
DFG rating, so our children’s work is compared to similar districts, the most competitive level of comparison.
A few other J districts are Harding, Mendham Twnshp, Millburn, Mt. Lakes, and Tewksbury.

Nature of Comparisons
Comparing grade 3 and 4 results from the same year means comparing two different cohorts’ results.
Comparing grade 3 of last year to grade 4 of this year means we are comparing the same students’ results, but on different tests.

Special Education
The test results for students whose learning is supported by special education are included in these data.
Their results, when compared with special education students in other J districts, are generally above average.
32
So let’s summarize…
Our children’s overall proficiency is very strong.
33
And we see that…
Our largest interest is to address is Language Arts Literacy. The issues vary from grade to grade.
Our best performance is in areas of mathematics—especially in problem solving, in using mathematics.
34
Curriculum PlanningLanguage Arts Literacy
Implement instructional practices supported by the latest research
Provide on-going training utilizing the practices from Columbia University (Teachers College Writing Project)
Develop quarterly prompt, timed writing assessments that are aligned with writing units
Collect baseline, mid-year, and final writing assessments to check progress
Monitor writing units to ensure specific units are taught prior to the state test
35
Curriculum Planning
Mathematics K-4
Develop stronger pre-assessments to help identify strengths and weaknesses of students
Plan time to articulate about student work within and across grade levels
36
Curriculum Planning
Mathematics 5-8Recent changes to the math program
Rewrote math curriculum at grades 5-8 over the summer of 2006
Developed a basic skills assessment for each grade level to ensure mastery of fundamental skills
Developed pre-assessments and administered within the first week of school to help identify student readiness
37
Curriculum Planning
Mathematics 5-8Work to be done this year
Implement instructional practices that are supported by the latest research
Monitor newly implemented math sequence to ensure students receive the necessary support at each grade level
Provide time for teachers to analyze student work and share instructional practices
Develop unit tests that follow a similar format and weighting system as the state tests
Continue to train teachers in differentiated instruction

Finally, thank you for…
Being here because you care to know and to help, and
Sharing the opportunity to contribute to the growth of these excellent children and young people with us.
