SRA Guide
Preparing Student Profiles

STICKER
      
A student profile along with the student's ISRs from each HSPA administration must be prepared for submission to the county office for each student who completes the SRA process. Since the HSPA program is not providing student stickers for the SRA process, the top box on the HSPA SRA Student Profile Form (Appendix H) duplicates the HSPA student sticker. You will need to copy the information from the HSPA student sticker onto the Student Profile Form (see below).

       The HSPA student sticker contains two types of information - identification and test results. For instance,
              A through N (Special Education Codes) is indicated after SE if a student was coded as a special education student.
              The first letter of the content area (L or M) is shown after the IEP Exempt from Pass if a student was coded as exempt from demonstrating proficiency in a content area (language arts literacy or mathematics) because of the Individualized Education Program (IEP).
              The symbol, Y (for yes) is indicated after LEP if a student was coded as limited English proficient. The symbol, E (for exempt) is indicated if a student was coded limited English Proficient and is exempt from taking the HSPA.
              The first letter of a content area (L or M) is indicated after T-1 if a student was coded as receiving Title I services for a content area. For test results information, designation of proficiency levels are printed next to the language arts literacy and mathematics scale scores.

STUDENT PROFILE FORM
      
The student's ISR contains the score data that you will need to fill in the information for the Raw Score (RS) and Just Proficient Mean (JPM) by Cluster Information on the HSPA SRA Student Profile Form. WHERE IS THE FORM??????
       The Student Profile Form also documents the mastery of the required clusters for all content areas in which the student completed a SRA. (See PAT Requirements and Selection.)
       On the form, list the date the PAT was administered, and the name/item number for each PAT successfully completed. Note that,
              for mathematics, students must successfully complete three PATs in each cluster where their raw score was less than the Just Proficient Mean.
              for the reading cluster, students whose raw scores are within 90 percent of the Just Proficient Mean must successfully complete one persuasive reading PAT. If students' raw scores are within 80 percent of the Just Proficient Mean, students must successfully complete three persuasive reading PATS. If students' raw scores are below 80 percent of the Just Proficient Mean, students must successfully complete three narrative reading PATS and three persuasive reading PATS, and
              for the writing cluster, students whose raw scores are at least 90 percent of the Just Proficient Mean must successfully complete two writing PATS. If students' raw scores are below 90 percent of the Just Proficient Mean, students must successfully complete three writing PATS.

       The SRA Panel Member Recommendations section on the HSPA SRA Student Profile Form is where the SRA Panel members affirm that the student has demonstrated proficiency of the required clusters at a level to be eligible for a New Jersey high school diploma.
