The CWC mission and CWC Fundamentals requirethat Licensees Educational Activities provide a socioeconomically,culturally, and racially diverse community of students with anintellectually challenging learning environment that develops eachindividual students confidence, potential, and individual responsibilityas citizens of the world in which we live.

    The parties acknowledge that because the new Common Core tests aredesigned to determine whether students are meeting a higherperformance standard than the NYSA, it generally can be expectedthat, in the short-term, fewer students will perform at or above grade-level Common Core expectations (i.e., proficiency) than was the casewith NYSA testing. In other words, the overall number of studentswho score at or above grade level expectations will likely decrease inthe short-term because the expectations will have increased.

    For purposes of the foregoing, therefore, the determination of both thepercentage of the student population required to meet or exceed thebaseline standard (i.e., proficiency) and the selection of an appropriatebenchmark aligned with the Common Core assessment, shall bedetermined in good faith by the parties hereto and evidenced by their

A

    significant achievement gap shall mean a difference of 15percentage points or more. Statistically valid shall mean a samplelarge enough to both yield statistically reliable information and protectthe privacy of all students when reviewing the relevant testing data.
