Woodland Park staff present 2024–25 NJSLA results and testing plans to board
Summary
At the Oct. 16 Woodland Park Board of Education meeting, staff presented 2024–25 NJSLA results and outlined testing and instructional follow-ups including planned NJSLA‑A Fall Field Test administration for grades 4–8 and targeted teacher training.
Mrs. Tomback presented the Woodland Park School District’s 2024–25 NJSLA (New Jersey Student Learning Assessments) results at the Oct. 16 board meeting. District staff described follow-up steps for instruction and assessment, including teacher training and preparations to administer the NJSLA‑A Fall Field Test to students in grades 4–8.
The district’s curriculum office reported recent professional development: ELA committee updates, differentiated PD (including state‑mandated HIB and suicide prevention training), Do the Math and SAVVAS science follow-ups, and upcoming Orton‑Gillingham training for LLD teachers. The Curriculum Office noted that staff completed iReady diagnostics and are emphasizing two lessons per week for students using the program.
District materials also said the Curriculum Office "is going to turn into the testing office as we prepare to train, roll out, and administer the NJSLA‑A Fall Field Test to our 4‑8 grade students." That preparation was presented as part of the broader instructional plan for addressing learning gaps identified through data-team work.
The presentation did not include districtwide proficiency rates in the minutes; the board and staff emphasized training and targeted instruction as next steps. The board did not take explicit action on testing results at the meeting; the item was presented for review and planning.
