“Casserian Engeri.” ��The traditional greeting of the Masai tribe in Africa.

It means, 

“And how are the children?” 

They do not ask each other, “How are you?” or “How’s your day?” but rather they ask about the next generation.

The Masai believe that monitoring the well-being of their children is the best way to determine the future health and prosperity of their whole society.

The New Jersey Student Learning Standards for English Language Arts (NJSLA–ELA) assessments emphasize the importance of close reading, synthesizing ideas within and across texts, determining the meaning of words and phrases in context, and writing effectively when using and/or analyzing sources. Reading and writing are referred to as major claims, with sub claims pertaining to the different aspects of each of the two major claims.

The New Jersey Student Learning Assessment for Mathematics (NJSLA-M) measures student

proficiency with grade or course level skills, knowledge, practices, and concepts. The NJSLA-M

includes the four sub claim categories of Major Content, Additional and Supporting Content,

Reasoning, and Modeling. On each assessment, students will face a mixture of objective items

assessing content and practice and constructed-response items requiring the application of

grade or course appropriate reasoning and modeling.

• Level 5: Exceeded Expectations

• Level 4: Met Expectations

• Level 3: Approached Expectations

• Level 2: Partially Met Expectations

• Level 1: Did Not Yet Meet Expectations
