BACKGROUNDINFORMATIONONTHESTATEWIDEASSESSMENTPROGRAM

In1975, theNewJerseyLegislaturepassed thePublicSchoolEducationAct “toprovide to all children inNewJersey,regardlessofsocioeconomicstatusorgeographiclocation,theeducationalopportunitywhichwillpreparethemtofunctionpolitically,economicallyandsociallyinademocraticsociety.”Anamendmenttothatactwassignedin1976toestablishuniformstandardsofminimumachievementinbasiccommunicationandcomputationskills.ThisamendmentisthelegalbasisfortheuseofatestasagraduationrequirementinNewJersey.

Beginningin1981–1982,ninth-gradestudentswererequiredtopasstheMinimumBasicSkillsTest(readingandmathematics)asoneoftherequirementsforahighschooldiploma.Studentswhodidnotpassbothpartsofthetesthadtoberetestedonthoseparts.

In 1983, the Grade 9 High School Proficiency Test (HSPT9), a more difficult test in reading, mathematics, and writing, was adopted to measure the basic skills achievements of ninth-grade students. The first due-notice administration of the HSPT9 occurred in 1983–1984; the test was first administered as a graduation requirement in1985–1986.

In 1988, the New Jersey Legislature passed a law that moved the High School Proficiency Test from the ninth gradetotheeleventhgradeandaddedanearlybenchmarkassessmentwiththeGrade8EarlyWarningTest(EWT).Althoughbothtestsweredesignedtoberigorousassessmentsofessentialskillsinreading,mathematics,andwriting,theEWTwasintendedtobeusedonlyforplacementpurposesandprogramplanning.TheGrade11 High School Proficiency Test (HSPT11) was to serve as a graduation requirement for all New Jersey public schoolstudentswhoenteredtheninthgradeonorafterSeptember1,1991.Threeyearsofdue-noticetestingwereconductedfrom1991–1993toallowschooldistrictstimetomodifycurriculaandpreparestudentsforboththeeighth-gradeandgraduationtests.

In1995,thegovernorcalledforthedevelopmentandadministrationofafourth-gradeassessmentthatwouldbealignedtothestatestandardsandserveasatooltoevaluatestudentachievementintheknowledgeandskillsdefined by new educational content standards. These standards, the Core Curriculum Content Standards, were adoptedin1996bytheNewJerseyStateBoardofEducationtodescribewhatallstudentsshouldknowandbeabletodobytheendofgradesfourandeightanduponcompletionofaNewJerseypublicschooleducation.TheCoreCurriculumContentStandardsinformedthedevelopmentofthreenewstatewideassessments:(1)thefourth-grade Elementary School Proficiency Assessment (ESPA), which was administered from 1997–2002, (2) a new Grade Eight Proficiency Assessment (GEPA), which replaced the EWT in 1998, and (3) a new High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA), which replaced the HSPT11 as the state’s graduation test following three years of field testing. The HSPA was administered to eleventh graders as a graduation test for the first time inMarch2002.

Also, as a result of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) requirement, this year, students in fifth, sixth, and seventh gradeswillbeadministeredtheNewJerseyAssessmentofSkillsandKnowledge(NJASK)2006.TheNJASK2006,liketheotherstateassessments,isalsoalignedwiththeCoreCurriculumContentStandards.TheNJASK2006 will assess fifth-, sixth-, and seventh-grade students in language arts literacy and mathematics.
