PARCC is an alliance of 25 states working together to develop a common set of K-12 assessments in English and math anchored in what it takes to be ready for college and careers PARCC is state-led and a subset of PARCC states make up its Governing Board Governing Board: AZ, AR, DC, FL, GA, IL, IN, LA, MD, MA, NJ, NY, OK, RI, TN Governing Board Chair: Massachusetts Commissioner Mitchell Chester Fiscal Agent State: Florida oversees budget, procurement, and reporting functions Project Management Partner: Achieve About PARCC

PARCC States 3 Governing Board States Participating States

1. Build a pathway to college and career readiness for all students 2. Create high-quality assessments that measure more sophisticated, authentic student performances 3. Support educators in the classroom 4. Make better use of technology in assessments 5. Advance accountability at all levels The PARCC Vision

Real-time student achievement data Assessment Design Source: Graphic adapted from a representation prepared by the Center for K-12 Assessment & Performance Management ( START OF SCHOOL YEAR END OF SCHOOL YEAR Through- Course 1 Through- Course 2 25%50% Through- Course 3 75% Through- Course 4 90% End- Of-Year Real-time student achievement data Benefits: Through-course assessments provide teachers information on their students performance at key points during the year, allowing them to adjust instruction and target interventions Results will be returned quickly so they are more useful to schools Assessments will measure more sophisticated, authentic performances

Role of Technology Technology will be central to PARCC, providing cutting edge solutions to test development, administration, scoring and reporting Integrated modular system and interoperable platform Administration Assessments delivered to schools online Grades 6-11 and end-of-year 100% online administration Item types End-of-year: computer-enhanced, innovative items Through-course components: searchable environments for student research and dynamic online calculators Preprogrammed accommodations

Role of Automated Scoring PARCC’s computer-based assessments will: Produce timely snapshots of students’ knowledge throughout the year Give parents, students and teachers the ability to adjust accordingly rather than waiting until the end of the school year PARCC assessments will be scored: By a combination of automated and human scoring (with the end- of-year tests machine scored) States will individually determine the extent to which teachers will be involved in scoring By using automated scoring, scores can be returned more quickly to students and teachers, allowing for a quicker response to the data provided.
