  16. No Test Scores – How Did We Get Here? • NCLB of 2001: Mandatory Annual Exams of Literacy and Math, such as Benchmark and End-of-Course • By 2009, governors and education commissioners from 48 states, two territories and District of Columbia recognized the need for greater consistency between states’ standards and assessments and began the process of developing the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). • The CCSS for the state of Arkansas were adopted by the Arkansas State Board of Education on July 12, 2010. The implementation of the standards were phased in over a three year period.

  17. No Test Scores – How Did We Get Here? • Full implementation of CCSS was carried out during the 2013-14 school year. • As CCSS were being implemented, students were being assessed on the AR Benchmark Assessment, which measured performance based on the prior standards, in part because there was not yet an assessment that measured performance on the new standards. • Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) was awarded one of two contracts to develop an assessment to measure student achievement of the CCSS.

  18. No Test Scores – How Did We Get Here? • Arkansas students were scheduled to take PARCC for the first time during the 2014-15 school year. Right before testing time, however, a bill was filed, (HB1241) in Arkansas’ State Senate to delay the PARCC Assessment until 2017-18 school year. • Instead, modifications were made, allowing PARCC to be administered during the 2014-15 school year, limiting the state from entering into any future contract with PARCC for more than one year . June 30th, 2015, PARCC contract ended. • We will get PARCC test scores sometime in November. • 2015- 16: Our students will take the ACT Aspire (3-10); ACT (Grade 11)

  19. No Test Scores – How Did We Get Here? • 2015-16 will be the 3rd consecutive year where students are assessed on a different test. • The frequent switch of state test selections minimizes the effective data on Arkansas students due to the lack of consistency on the content being assessed and how these skills are being measured. • Lack of consistent data can make it difficult for teachers to intervene with students who are struggling academically because schools will not know how to effectively interpret the results to identify students’ academic needs.

  20. ADE Releases 2014-15 Statewide PARCC Assessment ResultsNOTE: Students who score at Level 4 met grade level expectations, and those who score at Level 5 exceeded expectations. These students are likely to be prepared for success in college and careers.
