What is the SRA?

• Is a state developed alternative to the HSPA if
  students do not score proficient on the HSPA,
  they MUST pass the SRA process in order to
  graduate
• Consists entirely of extended, open-ended items
  called Performance Assessment Tasks (PAT) in
  Language Arts Literacy and Mathematics

Upcoming Changes

• Standardize the SRA by having state test vendors
  assign and distribute the performance tasks to
  the districts
• Improve the validity of scoring by establishing
  regional, vendor-supervised scoring centers,
  staffed by trained NJ teacher-scorers
• Rename the SRA to reflect more fairly its close
  relationship to the CCCS on which the HSPA itself
  is based i.e., Alternative High School
