Purpose: To accelerate learning for every student, strong day-to-day instructional practices must be at the center of supporting students to become skilled readers, writers, and thinkers. This report provides data on the proportion of points earned on the ELA exams by New York State Next Generation Learning Standards, divided between Multiple Choice (MC) and Constructed Response (CR). This data should be used in conjunction with other information to identify which areas of instruction students may understand or need more instruction on. It is encouraged to use other formative data from your classes to further pinpoint why groups of students might be misunderstanding instructional standards as this report only contains what was correct/incorrect. This report should be used to strengthen core instruction by addressing weak areas and maintaining strong areas.

Disclaimer: The "% of Total Possible Points" is based only on the raw score on the exam. An increase or decrease in the raw score does not necessarily mean the scale score or percent proficient will change in the same direction. The reason for this is that raw scores do not reflect changes in the difficulty of the questions from year to year while scale scores do. Consequently, raw scores can only be compared to each other within the same year and grade/subject.

Frequently Asked Questions

13
What does each column represent?
14
The columns in the report without bold text represent the different standards tested on the exam. Each standard is divided further into multiple choice ("MC") and constructed response ("CR"). Each standard has a standard number and an unofficial short title. Hover your mouse over the short title to see the full text of the standard. For more details on the standards, see https://www.nysed.gov/curriculum-instruction/new-york-state-next-generation-english-language-arts-learning-standards

What does the row with the blue and pink colors mean?
17
The row with the blue and pink colors compares your results to the entire city on each standard in terms of the percentage of total points earned. So, for example, if a cell reads "+0.14" that means that your students earned 14 more percentage points of the possible points than the city. The three best standards for your students are highlighted in light blue. The three worst standards are highlighted in pink (light pink if above city average and dark pink if below). If more than three standards are tied for the top three, more than three may be highlighted

Why do I see data from the previous year?
20
The Instructional Reports typically display 3 years of data, but this is the second test administration with assessments aligned to the NYS Next Generation Learning Standards. Prior to the Spring 2023 administration, tests were aligned to the Common Core Learning Standards . Due to these circumstances this data is not comparable with tests aligned to the Common Core Learning Standards and therefore we are only displaying data for the previous year.
