PARCC Assessment Administration Guidance 1

PARCC Assessment Design Summative Assessments 2 Performance- Based Assessment End-of-Year Assessment  After 75 percent of the school year  Extended tasks, applications of concepts and skills  ELA/Literacy: Writing effectively when analyzing text, research simulation  Math: Solving multi-step problems requiring abstract reasoning, precision, perseverance and strategic use of tools  ELA/Literacy Grades 3-11  Math Grades 3-8, Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II  After 90 percent of the school year  Innovative, short-answer items  ELA/Literacy: Reading comprehension  Math: Short items that address both concepts and skills  ELA/Literacy Grades 3-11  Math Grades 3-8, Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II

Two Testing Windows Summative Assessments PBA EOY

Two Testing Windows Schools will have a maximum of 20 consecutive days in each testing window to administer each assessment component: – Performance Based Assessment (PBA) component – End of Year Assessment (EOY) component Schools could complete administration of the tests in fewer days if they have sufficient capacity to administer assessments to large numbers of students simultaneously 4

WHO will Test on PARCC Students enrolled in Grades 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 will participate in both the PBA and EOY testing windows for ELA/Literacy This is a NEW testing requirement for grades 9 and 10 Students enrolled in Grades 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 will participate in both the PBA and EOY windows for Math Students enrolled in qualifying Algebra I, Geometry, and/or Algebra II Courses will participate in both the PBA and EOY windows of the EOC Algebra I, EOC Geometry, or the EOC Algebra II Assessment(s) This is a NEW testing requirement for Algebra II 5

Number of Testing Sessions Summative Assessments 66 Performance- Based Assessment End-of-Year Assessment Nine (9) Sessions Total

Update on PARCC Field Test Administered in Spring

Field Test Purposes There are three primary purposes of the PARCC Field Test: 1.To obtain item-level data to assemble operational forms 2.To evaluate methods for scoring and scaling the PBA and EOY 3.To yield data to support planned research 8

Field Test Experience PARCC states will field test the performance-based and end-of-year assessment components in Spring The majority of students involved in the Field Test will take one component (PBA or EOY) in one content area (ELA or mathematics). A small percentage of students involved in the Field Test will take the full summative assessment (PBA and EOY) in one content area only (ELA or mathematics). 9

Field Test Windows 10

Field Test Preparation What is the recommended time for scheduling testing sessions? – Two or Two ½ hour blocks for each session of the Field Test The block will allow for plenty of time to complete administration activities as well as for students to complete the test session with the additional time allotted, if needed. FAQs – tlyAskedQuestionsabouttheFieldTest pdf tlyAskedQuestionsabouttheFieldTest pdf 11

Spring 2014 Practice Tests There will be a computer-based practice test available to all schools – both schools included and not included in the field tests. There is no charge to participate in the practice test. The practice test will enable students and teachers to become familiar with the PARCC assessments and to practice with the different types of technology functionalities. The practice test will be available during the Field Test in Spring Materials, including rubrics, will be available so that teachers can score the practice tests. 12

Field Test Sample The Field Test sample size for each state will be proportional to each state’s student enrollment (with a minimum sample size). The sample will represent enrollment across and within PARCC states. A sample of schools was selected from each participating state. ETS, a subcontractor for the Assessment Administration contract, has pulled the initial sample. Arkansas is represented with an enrollment sample of over 42,500 students. All schools have been notified if they were selected for the field test. – Schools selected for the field test that cannot participate will be replaced with schools in the same state that fits the sample criteria. A maximum of two (2) classrooms will participate from each of the selected schools at any given grade and content. 13

Advances in the PARCC ELA/Literacy Summative Assessment August

Questions Worth Answering: Sequences of questions that draw students into deeper encounters with texts are the norm (as in an excellent classroom), rather than sets of random questions of varying quality. Texts Worth Reading: The assessments use authentic texts worthy of study instead of artificially produced or commissioned passages. Better Standards Demand Better Questions: Instead of reusing existing items, PARCC is developing custom items to the Standards. Fidelity to the Standards: PARCC evidence statements are rooted in the language of the Standards so that expectations remain the same in both instructional and assessment settings. PARCC’s Core Commitments to ELA/Literacy Assessment Quality 16

1.Complexity: Regular practice with complex text and its academic language. 2.Evidence: Reading and writing grounded in evidence from text, literary and informational. 3.Knowledge: Building knowledge through content rich nonfiction. What Are the Shifts at the Heart of PARCC’s Design (and the Standards)? 17
