Good evening. Um, I'd like to reintroduce myself. Some of you weren't here last month, so this is my second official acting as the HBA president. My name is Elizabeth Sunda. I'm a science teacher here at Hartford High School and I've been here for this for 22 years. So, I just wanted to
reintroduce myself. Um, I know it hasn't even been seven days since graduation. Um, but it has been six days of a nice reprieve. Um, but I also wanted to thank you for the time you put in as well. I know your job is not always easy. Um, so I look forward to working with you all
of you. So, if you have any questions um for me at any point or any other reps that might come, if I don't like it. Um, but I just wanted you to know that I do value your time. Um, right now we have nothing really to update you on. I know
personally I have a a workshop coming up in July. I know we'll have some teachers coming in to work on new curriculum writing and things like that. Um, I also have um, thank you for approving my forensics trip. I think next week I'm doing three days down at NGIT. Um, but
other than that, I don't really have anything to So, thank you. And again, if at any time in discussion too while we're here, please uh Mr. Campbell, are you ready to give both principles report and curriculum
instruction or I'll I'll make the principal's report very brief. I'd like to thank Mr. Tal uh for doing such a fantastic job each and every year particularly last week uh along with Mr. Brauml for organizing just a flawless event that made the community very
proud. So uh congrats to our graduates, our teachers, our parents and thank you to our leadership for making it such a nice night. So, uh, moving along to curriculum, something a little bit less, um, exciting, uh, this presentation and
graduation photos, but nonetheless, very important. Um, we're coming up on 50 years that New Jersey has required students to show proficiency in math and English language arts. 1977, this began, so this is really nothing new. Okay. Um,
all juniors tested in March. And last week I sent a letter out to all the parents explaining that there are multiple ways to meet the graduation requirement. So it's not something that we want to panic about. Um students who did not perform well on the NJ GPA will
still meet this requirement. They can meet it through the PSAT or the SAT or uh about a fifth of our students meet through the graduation portfolio. So as I said one more thing here um the
students want to um accomplish this requirement and take this burden off their backs so their senior year can be relaxing and enjoyable. As such um we're going to offer it in July. Every student has to take this test but as I showed in
this slide there are multiple ways it can meet the requirement. We've got three or four students that missed sitting for it in March and we've got a few dozen students that would prefer to take the test in July and give it another crack. Now, if they don't do
well again, it's still not a problem because we're going to get them started on the portfolio in late September, early October, and hopefully by the time Thanksgiving comes, they're done with it. Right? We used this used to drag on into the spring and we're very pleased
with the efforts that we've successfully put into place to um have this requirement wrapped up for our students um certainly by Christmas in almost every instance. So um we make this exceedingly clear in our letter in uh 48
years no student who has ever cooperated with our efforts. We put that caveat there because sometimes we need students to work with us to make sure the portfolio is completed. Those student fails to graduate if they work with our efforts to support that. Okay. And the
portfolio process, it's a great assessment. Um it's actually really quality experience. You work with a teacher to guide your practice. You uh get assessed. You work on what you need improvement on and you kind of retest.
So, um, we're prepared to support all our students gradually. Now, here are our results. As you can see, I would call that a tie. Although we're 1/10th of a percent above in English language arts, we are essentially at the state
level. Uh, the glass can be seen here at half full or half. We're certainly pleased that we're at the state level, but it is by no means um reaching our level of satisfaction. So, we have continued work to do. This is the third year students have
taken this assessment. If you look at a three-year window, you'll see about a 7% increase from two years ago. Even though this past year, our our rate in math was down 1%. But the trend is showing some significantly positive growth along with
a 3% increase in English. So, we're at the state rate. We're improving. We're far from satisfied. Okay. Um, we are required to show this demographic data and I'll try and do it in a very condensed presentation. Everything on
the screen here is on our website for the community to look at live if they're so interested. You'll see those large portions blacked out. for privacy. If a demographic group has zero to nine students, we are not permitted to share
that information as it is somewhat narrowly um aligned to that group of students. Okay. Um I'm just going to highlight a few demographic groups here. First of all, participation. Our students very cooperative um and
that's very strong. Our female students in both English and math did show greater rates of proficiency. Um not dramatic here in math but still greater. Our economically disadvantaged students
and our students with disabilities that there's a gap there, right? Students without disabilities and students that are not economically disadvantaged far exceed their peers. However, the encouraging news here is this is the closest that gap has been in
the 3 years since the GPA started. Um, I was on a call for an hour today with the Department of Education with Mrs. Delaney working specifically on this how to further narrow this gap. Okay. Um, we
want to see a much greater alignment between students across the board and proficiency. And I think this should be likely is a goal for most districts. Looking at language arts, again, participation was very strong.
Strikingly higher level of proficiency for female students. This should come as no surprise. Adolescent girls read. They're far more interested in literature. And our effort is to adjust our curriculum through choice reading
and through other measures to make sure that what we have students read is appealing to our male students and that they're more engaged with reading and that this gap can be closed. Uh very similar trend here.
Socioeconomic status and disability does create a gap. Once again a language arts as well. We're not pleased with this gap. It has been narrowed since we began administering this assessment. So um again this demographic data is on our
website some strategies to improve across the board. Number one, when teachers give a common assessment that is aligned to the standards and then they meet and look at the results and they discuss how their students did on
that standard aligned assessment that moves the needle. Next, all students, not just those that can um excel, all students need to see and engage with testike uh questions. I don't think that
was widely done in most districts at a certain point because some of them are very challenging. Um and we've gotten much more um done a better job at ensuring that all students see these questions before the test. our PLC's, our teachers get together and they work.
Uh it's approved each year. They share best practices. Um and I'm happy to say number four, um I spent the morning today with um the administrators from our semi districts. We're meeting monthly. We're having some really good dialogue and we're excited to not just
share the best practices of say math and ELA at High Point, but to leverage the best practices of our colleagues and the middle schools um that are are in our region. So, we're working with them um to put our heads together and try and
collectively improve. Again, all of this is on the website. you can see the past three years um if you're sold on it a little bit. So, this just came out last week. We're required to publicly present. We put it on our website. We share the
results with the students. We offer students a chance to retest. Um and we plan to support our our kids and make sure yes um for NJM students is there an alternative for the NJ GPA or are they also expected to sit
for that? Uh excellent question. There is. So if you are um if your IEP uh has a certain exemption, you do not sit for the NJ GPA. There's a very small number of students that um don't sit for it. Again, remember the GPA, the requirement
which is absolute is that you sit for the GPA, not pass it. Approximately 1 to 2% of our students with IEPs um are not um appropriately placed in that assessment and they take the BLM. there
is a relatively small number of our students with with IP I think it was 1.75 so it was one or two students that took the uh the question all great thanks okay moving on to action items uh great
