More About the Tennessee TCAP (TNReady) Tests
State Testing Information for
Tennessee Portions of the following material were taken from the
Department of Education website. Please consult your state's education website
for further information on the actual tests administered for your school.
Beginning in the 2015-16 school
year, TNReady will become the state’s new and improved TCAP test for English
language arts and math in grades 3-11. It will provide us with more and better
information about our students’ progress. The new TNReady TCAP tests are
designed to assess true student understanding and not just basic memorization
and test-taking skills. TNReady will measure student understanding of our
current state standards in English language arts and math, not the previous SPIs.
TNReady will provide students, teachers, and parents with more and better
information about each student’s progress and achievement in the classroom.
Just as we take our children to the doctor for their annual check-ups, TNReady
offers parents, students, and teachers with a new and improved academic check-up
each year to make sure all students are moving forward and are track to graduate
from high school and be successful in college or the workplace.
TNReady is more than just a new TCAP. It is a new way to assess what our
students know and what we can do to help them succeed in the future. We know
that in college, technical schools, and in most jobs, communication is done
electronically – it is the way of our world. We must prepare students for their
future and that will require comfort with technology. So TNReady will be taken
online. The online test will be more engaging, and it will better match
students’ individual needs.
In reading and writing – students will read from texts and provide written
responses to support their answers. In math – students will solve multi-step
problems, many without using a calculator, to show what they know. Much like
teachers already do in their classrooms, TNReady will give students a variety of
new ways to show what they can do. While the best preparation for TNReady will
be strong instruction every day, we know that teachers need additional tools to
prepare for the upcoming school year. Students, parents and teachers will have
early and free access to online TNReady practice tools to ensure students are
ready for the types of test questions that will appear on the assessment.
Local schools and school systems will also have greater flexibility in
scheduling TNReady tests to better help students prepare and to minimize
interference with teaching and learning in classrooms. Still, with any new test
– and especially one that moves beyond just the traditional multiple-choice
tests to assess what students really know and can do – first-year test scores
will drop when compared to the current TCAP assessment, as students and teachers
rise to new expectations. Tennesseans have proven that students and teachers
respond quickly to higher expectations and new assessments. We expect first year
results from TNReady to set a new baseline to measure rapid progress in the
years to come.
