PUBLIC SCHOOLSOffice of the Superintendent  \nDear Parent,  \nThis year our district has been randomly selected to participate in the English Language Arts (ELA)Field Testfor the Spring 2020 New Jersey Student Learning Assessment-English Language Arts (NJSLA-ELA).Fieldtesting is considered part of the statewide assessment program.Field test items do not count towards a student'sScore.  \n# What is Field Testing?\n\nThe main purpose of field testing is to “test the test questions”to ensure that all questions that appear onoperational assessments do a goodjob of measuring the content and skills they are intended to measure.Thefield testing also ensures the questions are clear and are fair to all students.Every question goes throughmultiple rounds of review by assessment professionals and committees that include New Jersey educators priorto being field tested.A final determination regarding the quality of each question is made only after it has beenincluded in a test taken by students and the resulting field-test data has been analyzed.  \n# How is Field Testing Implemented in New Jersey?\n\nFor math field testing,an embedded census field testing model is used.This means that all tested students in allNew Jersey schools respond to a few field test questions that are embedded within an operational unit.Eachmath field test set consists of 5 to 10 questions,depending on how many points each question in each set isworth.In math,like ELA,the field test questions are distributed in different positions across the testing units ineach form,so students don't know which questions“count””towards their score and therefore expend a similaramount of effort while answering all questions.  \nFor ELA,New Jersey samples approximately one-third of schools across the state.Each tested student in asampled school takes one ELA field test unit,or section.The field test unit may contain a Narrative WritingTask unit,Literary Analysis Task unit,or Research Simulation Task unit,and may appear as the first,second,orthird unit on the test.This helps ensure that students do not know which questions \"count\"towards their scoreand which are field test questions,and therefore expend a similar amount of effort while answering allquestions.  \nSchools are selected for ELA field testing so that the annual sample is representative of the state's overalltesting population in terms of achievement and demographics.All students in tested grades in the district willparticipate in the field test.Students taking the ELA field test will be given a total of three units instead of twounits.The district has taken this into account in planning the Spring 2020 testing schedule.Districts that wereselected to participate in field testing this year will not be required to participate again for the next two years ofassessment administration(i.e.2021 and 2022).  \nIf you should have any questions or concerns,you may contact your child's guidance counselor.","cbCaim5RhcMyYfz7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaim5RhcMyYfz7","pdf",170269,"English","# What is Field Testing?\n## How is Field Testing Implemented in New Jersey?","[{\"question\":\"Do field
