HSPA DATA

THE HIGH SCHOOLS ACCOMPLISHMENTS ON STATE TESTING CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO A SCHOOL WIDE (ADMINISTRATION, STAFF AND STUDENT) YEARLONG COMMITMENT TO PRIORITIZE AND REWARD STUDENT SUCCESS.

PREPARING FOR PARCCAdopting the NJDOE ELA Model Curriculum

Using NJDOE Model Curriculum Assessments (aligned to PARCC)

Incorporating exemplar texts as outlined in the common core appendix

Incorporating common core aligned writing activities across the curriculum

Utilizing testing data to identify at risk students (PARCC preparation course)

Supplementing the math curriculum with “Assistments” skill builders in areas of Algebra, Geometry, and Algebra II

Summer Enrichment- Wiki dedicated to PARCC prep including resources, sample items, tutorial and practice test http://narlmathsci.wikispaces.com/PARCC+Prep

Continuing to provide opportunities for students to familiarize themselves with computerized/online assessments

Incorporating common core activities in the Social Studies Curriculum especially by requiring text analysis of exemplar informational texts
