This workshop equips teachers with actionable strategies to enhance student performance on the NJSLA-A-Math assessments. Participants analyze student performance data, explore how NJSLA-A standards are assessed, and apply targeted instructional strategies to support students, especially those "on the bubble." The session emphasizes evidence-based tools and modeling problem types to drive instructional improvement and close learning gaps. Educators leave with a plan for integrating these insights directly into their upcoming lessons.

• Difficulty interpreting and using NJSLA-A data to inform instruction
  
  
• Gaps in student understanding of assessed standards and question types
  
  
• Lack of targeted strategies to support students nearing proficiency
  

1. Data Interpretation for Instructional Impact:
   Teachers learn how to analyze high-level and item-specific NJSLA-A data, identify key evidence statements, and determine prerequisite knowledge to inform their lesson planning.
   
   
2. Deep Understanding of Assessment Types:
   Educators explore and deconstruct the three NJSLA-A item types, gaining insights into conceptual understanding, reasoning, and modeling to better prepare students for each question format.
   
   
3. Strategic, Student-Centered Planning:
   Participants are introduced to practical strategies that reinforce prior knowledge, address misconceptions, and engage students in meaningful math discourse aligned to assessment expectations
