Introducing OnCourse's newest report, the Start Strong Registration Submission report. Start Strong assessment tools can provide educators with an early indication of the level of support students may need for this year. Districts that administer these assessments are encouraged to share the results with students, families, and educators. The information should be used in conjunction with other measures to identify some potential gaps in students’ understanding of the New Jersey Student Learning Standards (NJSLS).

What information is included in the report? 

Information used in the Start Strong Registration Submission report is pulled from the State Assessment Registration tab within the student profile. This includes the Registration section and the Personal Needs Profile sections.

 

What fields have changed?

In the Registration section, there are changes in two areas:

  • Test Code fields
  • Test Administration fields

Test Code Fields

We've added Valid in Pearson Reporting and Valid in Both qualifiers to the existing drop-down options for the following fields:

  • Test Code (ELA 269)
  • Test Code (Math 269)
  • Test Code (SCI, NJLA-S)

*When data is entered into these fields AND an option with either the Valid in Pearson Reporting or Valid in Both qualifier is selected, the student will be visible on the Start Strong Registration Submission report.

Test Administration Fields

We've added the SS = Start Strong Administration (Valid in Pearson Reporting) option to the drop-downs for the following fields:

  • Test Administration (ELA Pearson)
  • Test Administration (Math Pearson)
  • Test Administration (Science Pearson)

  2. Choose Batch Updater
  3. Select one of these fieldsets

    Hello! I am getting ready to register my students for the Start Strong assessment in September.  I appreciate your memo on registration, code fields, etc. My only question is -- I understand that I have the option of choosing "Valid in Pearson Reporting" OR "Valid in both" ... Is there any reason why I should choose one over the other?  Am I missing something?  I apologize if this is a dumb question - but I don't want to get through all of my students and find out it's wrong!  Thank you!

    • Valid in Pearson Reporting would apply if the student is only taking the assessment for that specific subject for the Start Strong assessment. 
    • Valid in New Jersey Reporting would apply if the student is only taking the assessment for that specific subject for the NJSLA assessment.
    • Valid in both would apply if the student is taking the assessment for that specific subject for the Start Strong assessment and the NJSLA assessment.
