    2. When? Grade 5: April 16 – Parent Letter and Practice Test Booklets Go Home Grade 3 & 4: April 23 – Parent Letters and Practice Test Booklets Go Home NJASK 5: May 3, 4, 5, and 6 NJASK 3 & NJASK 4: May 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 (Grade 4 Science) The testing dates and lengths are different for each grade.The testing dates and lengths are different for each grade.

    3. Why? NCLB (ESEA)- “No Child Left Behind” –2002 Every state must have an assessment for annual tests in Language Arts and Math in grades 3-8. Assess every student in science by 2007- 08 at least once in each of these grade spans: 3-5, 6-9, 10-12. Have all students attain a level of proficiency by the 2013-2014 school year.

    4. How is data used? To analyze and compare data over the years to identify areas of strengths and weaknesses To examine test scores to identify areas of strengths and weaknesses on a grade level and for individual students. To analyze data and plan instruction based on student needs To integrate test taking strategies across the curriculum To use in addition to OTHER district and school assessments in order to learn more about our student’s academic levels (IST, Accelerated Math, Enrichment)

    5. What?

    6. WRITING

    7. Writing Prompts The speculative prompt presents a brief scenario which students use as a springboard for writing a story, drawing on stories they have read as well as on their own experiences to develop ideas for their composition. There are two formats for assessing expository writing: one will introduce a topic in a brief verbal prompt and ask students to develop a composition about that topic; the second format uses a poem to introduce a topic. That topic is elaborated further by a brief verbal prompt that students will use as a basis for writing their composition.

    8. Example Writing Prompts

    9. Example Writing Prompts

    10. In 30 Minutes… Create an opening “hook” Create characters, setting and plot (Speculative) Dialogue State and explain the main problem and solution (if any) Do all tasks while using high level vocabulary, descriptive adjectives and verbs, specific nouns, figurative language, varied sentence structure, and other advanced writing techniques Spelling and Grammar All scores based on a 5 point rubric

    11. Writing Rubric (10 Points Total)

    12. At BC, we prepare our students for writing by… Writer’s Workshop (Leads, Supporting Ideas, Organizations, Grammar, Spelling) Provide multiple opportunities to practice (Timed Writing) Evaluate assessments and data to make instructional decisions Provide instructional support as needed Provide opportunities to free write or self select topic Integrate writing into other content areas (science, social studies) We hold conferences with our writers Share and celebrate our writings Review their writings from the beginning of the year

    13. Parents can prepare our students for writing by… Review your child’s writing Provide ample opportunities for students to practice Time the students’ writing once in a while Try writing one yourself and share your writing with your child. Score the writing with the students using the rubric Allow children to discuss with you openly about areas for improvements Have students use a Writing Journal Have students read their writings over again throughout the year Write about Non-Fiction topics, Editorial and Opinions

    14. READING

    15. Reading Multiple Choice Questions

    16. Reading Open Ended Question

    20. MATH

    21. Third Grade Multiple Choice Questions These problems are from the first section of the test. Students get a short amount of time (about a minute to 2 minutes per problem) to solve. Some are exact answers, some are estimates.These problems are from the first section of the test. Students get a short amount of time (about a minute to 2 minutes per problem) to solve.

    22. Fourth Grade Multiple Choice Sample 1st section - 1-2 minutes per problem1st section - 1-2 minutes per problem

    23. Fifth Grade Multiple Choice Questions

    24. Short Constructed Response Examples A lunch menu has 3 beverage selections: water, juice and milk. The menu also offers 2 sandwich selections: turkey and peanut butter. How many different meals of one beverage and one sandwich are possible? (correct answer: ?) A bag contains 5 red marbles, 8 blue marbles, and 7 green marbles. Arturo reaches into the bag and removes one marble. What is the probability that marble is red? (correct answers: ?)

    25. Extended Constructed Response Examples The ECR items require students to construct their own written or graphical responses and explain their responses. These questions are the most difficult and require multiple steps or procedures to solve all parts of the problem.

    26. Extended Constructed Response Question

    27. How will these be scored? Short Constructed Response: Answers are right or wrong 1 point each Student work to get the answer will NOT be assessed. Extended Constructed Response (Rubric Used) Scored on a 3 point scale - partial credit is awarded Students can receive up to 2 points for a proper execution of strategy with a small computational mistake Student work can be looked at and assessed.

    28. Extended Constructed Response Question Let’s do this problem individually first, (DON’T OPEN YOUR FOLDERS!!) so that we know what to expect from the students. (Give teachers time to solve the problem.) Does anyone want to share what they did to get the answer? Read over the scoring rubric together.Let’s do this problem individually first, (DON’T OPEN YOUR FOLDERS!!) so that we know what to expect from the students.

    33. Parent can prepare our students for math by… Allow students to use various strategies to answer questions Use rubric to score their response to OE questions Have students create questions for an answer Have students answer questions using pictures, numbers and words (if applicable) Have students find more than one answer for a given problem (making change) Review materials from the beginning of the year frequently
