We all know that it takes a scaled score of 200 to pass the NJ ASK (AKA to be "Proficient") and 250 or higher to be "Advanced Proficient." But what more can we learn about our students' strengths and needs by ANALYZING their NJ ASK results in more depth? Do your students need help with paraphrasing, inference, open-ended questions, or particular writing tasks? Do you know which students need help with which skill?
This FREE SAMPLE of analyzed 7th grade NJ ASK LA results shows how you can sort and analyze your school's NJ ASK data, grade by grade, to identify students' key areas/skills in need of improvement. By identifying their needs, you can plan more effective interventions.
To apply the analysis strategies shown in this sample and save time when analyzing other grades, you will want to download the Replacement Headings for Grades 3-8 NJ ASK Results. These headings tell you what each category was worth and what scores to use to target students who need help. By simply re-saving/renaming your overall results spreadsheet (which you received from NJDOE) as "Grade 3 Results," "Grade 4 Results," etc., and pasting in these replacement headings, you can then follow the directions listed at the bottom of the FREE SAMPLE.
