Impact of Opt-Out Movement More than 200,000 students across NYS did not take last spring’s 3-8 Math and ELA standardized tests. At Blind Brook the total number of opt-outs was: ELA BMPRSS BBMS # Students 46 93 % Opt-out 13.8% 27.3% Math BMPRSS BBMS # Students 47 89 % Opt-out 14.1% 26.1% The NYSED has not reported on the impact of the movement on 2016 test data but it is safe to assume that the validity and reliability of these tests will come into question if large numbers of students continue to opt-out. 18

Action Plan to Increase Student Proficiency Levels o Perform data analysis - to inform instructional planning or modification o Identify weaknesses and assist students as needed o Differentiate instruction - tailoring instruction to meet individual needs o Continue to provide students with timely feedback relative to assessments o Provide professional development for identified areas of instruction o Monitor cohort proficiency over a multi-year period - to track progress 19
