AS THE READING, writing, and mathematics test results in the High School Proficiency Testing are returned from the State, school districts become very busy in what is commonly called "the interpretation process". This process is vital because starting with the current ninth grade class, all students must pass the test in order to graduate. First to arrive are individual student print-outs. They are delivered in the spring and are used to determine appropriate program placement based upon indicated strengths and weaknesses. In the fall, the school district receives additional summaries which provide information related to course track, sending district, and total population. Administrators and teachers analyze such results in an effort to improve the instructional process and curriculum content on all grade levels. PARTICIPANTS in a recent math interpretation meeting in the Middle Township School District included Anthony Ferrante, assistant superintendent; MTHS Principal John McVey; Middle School Principal Edmund Webb: Avalon School Principal Ronald Bonner: Dennis Township School Principal Raymond Dolton; and Compensatory Education Supervisor Edith Ludlam. The representative teachers at this meeting included Christine Bailey, Patricia Blood, Susan Bahr, Vincent Changlin, Christine Collett. Maryann Hampton. Robert Heidorn, and Linda Jones.
