At this time, the United States Department of Education has not indicated that there will be any form of waiver of states’ statewide assessment obligations for the 2020-2021 school year.\u003Cbr>The New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) recognizes that the disruption to education due to the COVID- 19 pandemic persists as schools and districts prepare for the spring 2021 assessment administration. To provide greater flexibility to educators and districts, the NJDOE will provide the option to administer the NJSLA remotely during the spring 2021 assessment administration, which runs from March 15, 2021 to June 11, 2021.\u003Cbr>The NJDOE will provide guidance and supports for both in-person and remote administrations of the NJSLA for the spring of 2021 through trainings and resources outlined below. Any updates to administration procedures will be shared with the public as soon as possible.\u003Cbr>2020-2021 Cancelled English Language Arts (ELA) Field Test\u003Cbr>The ELA field test unit will not be a part of the state ELA assessments for spring 2021. Districts that were selected for the canceled spring 2020 field test will not have to schedule for a field test unit.\u003Cbr>Spring 2021 NJSLA District Test and Technology Coordinator (DTC) Training\u003Cbr>Each year, the NJDOE requires that all District Test Coordinators and District Technology Coordinators attend training hosted by the Office of Assessments on the administration of the NJSLA statewide assessment program in ELA, mathematics, and science.\u003Cbr>The spring 2021 District Test and Technology Coordinator Training will be virtual and asynchronous. Training will also cover preparation for remote administration of the NJSLA. Training modules will be available online through anew virtual event platform from February 22, 2021 to March 5, 2021 and must be completed within that timeframe. As a reminder, the DTCs are required to participate in these trainings each year.\u003Cbr>Limits on attendance are lifted for the 2021 virtual training modules and all school and district coordinators are welcome to register. A memo containing registration information will be shared in the coming weeks.\u003Cbr>Live virtual question and answer sessions regarding DTC training topics, as well as virtual one-on-one support sessions with Pearson Level 2 technical support staff, will be available during the second week of the training window (March 1 through March 4, 2021) . These sessions are available to participants as an optional support resource. However, there will be capacity limits on Q&A sessions and one-on-one support sessions will be first come, first served. Due to these capacity limits, only DTCs can register for the live Q&A sessions and technical |\n\nsupport sessions.
