Acting state Education Commissioner David Hespe told school board members from across the state Tuesday that 90 percent of New Jersey districts are ready for the new computer-based state tests in 2015.
“And I believe we will get the last 10 percent,” he told attendees at the annual New Jersey School Boards Conference at the Atlantic City Convention Center, asking them to have the courage to see the process through.
Hespe
acknowledged that there is apprehension about the new PARCC tests based
on the Common Core State Standards, but he said testing is crucial to
gathering data needed to improve education for all students today and
into the future.
