The New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge September 2012 Score Interpretation Manual Grades 3 to 8 which is applicable to all the parents students and private tutors at all three Math Genie abacus math for kids schools in New Jersey in the United States of America, continues on to state the following, quote “Making Group Comparisons. The school and district reports allow for a relatively large number of group comparisons; the most meaningful comparisons are those made of similar groups on similar tasks. Consequently, committees are advised: (1) whenever possible, to compare groups with similar characteristics; (2) to compare performance on similar tasks (for example, the same cluster within the same content area); and (3) not to compare cluster scores from year to year. Narrative Reports. Some districts develop narrative reports to accompany their school and district report interpretations. Although such reports are optional, a narrative summary could be valuable when used as the basis for your testing report to your board of education and to the public. Any such reports should also be shared and discussed with the appropriate district personnel. Guidelines for communicating test information to parents/guardians, districts, and the media appear in a subsequent section of this manual; below, however, we offer a sample report outline, should a district opt to develop a written narrative. I. Background Information. A. Briefly describe the nature and purpose of the NJ ASK 3–8. B. Discuss the population of students who did and did not participate in the test. II. Cluster or Skill Narratives. A. Summarize strengths, weaknesses, and other comments from the completed interpretations. B. Complete these summaries for each content area. III. Summative Narratives. A. Synthesize cluster narratives for each content area. Include statements about general strengths and identified needs. B. Compare NJ ASK 3–8 results to other local test results in an effort to identify possible trends in student performance. IV. Recommendations. A. Prepare a list of recommendations that includes a statement of the needs and possible plans to address them. B. Develop a list of short- and long-range objectives for a total skills program (developmental and preventive/remedial). NOTE: Staff familiar with the test results and the interpretation process should be present when test results are presented to the public to answer questions and avoid misunderstandings or misinterpretations. Protecting Student Confidentiality. A number of federal laws protect student confidentiality in the reporting of data to the public” end quote.
