Career
With American students fully prepared for the future, our communities will be best positioned to compete successfully in the global economy.
Experts reviewed to ensure alignment with previously-prepared college and career ready graduation standards.
Transitioning to CCSS
The CCCSS signify the need to change practice in at least three primary areas:
Content Instruction Assessment
More than just replacing current standards. Opportunity to think about what and how to teach and purposefully plan for student success.
Expected to closely read multiple texts, analyze texts, and use evidence to support claims
Write to sources
Text-based Answers
Students engage in rich and rigorous evidence based conversations about text.
Academic Vocabulary
Students constantly build the transferable vocabulary they need to access grade level complex texts.
Principle Focus
Research-based Standards Procedural Skills and Conceptual Mastery Arithmetic Fluency in Early Grades

A Note on Calculators
PARCC mathematics assessments for Grades 3 5 will not allow for calculator usage. Grades 6-7 assessments will have an online four function calculator with square root. Grade 8 assessments will have a scientific calculator. High school assessments will have a calculator with similar functions of a TI-84 graphing calculator. All assessments will be divided into calculator and noncalculator sessions.
Sessions will be locked, meaning the student cannot return to a session once it is completed.

PARCC Goals
1. Create high-quality assessments 2. Build a pathway to college and career readiness for all students
Assessment Design
English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, All Grades
2 Optional Assessments/Flexible Administration
Diagnostic Assessment Early indicator of student knowledge and skills to inform instruction, supports, and PD Non-summative
Performance-Based Assessment (PBA) Extended tasks Applications of concepts and skills Required
Assessment Outcomes
Mathematics
Students have mastered the knowledge & skills in highlighted domains for a particular grade level. Students have attained overall proficiency in mathematics
English/Language Arts
Students can read and comprehend complex literary and informational text Can write effectively to sources Have attained overall proficiency in ELA/literacy
Item Prototypes
PARCC has released sample item and task prototypes. Responses are interactive and are more than multiple choice responses. http://www.parcconline.org/samples/itemtask-prototypes

Select all of the statements that accurately represent the relationship between the number of inches and the number of centimeters. The ratio of centimeters to inches is 1 to 2.54. The ratio of centimeters to inches is 2.54 to 1. i = 2.54c, where i represents the number of inches and c represents the number of centimeters c = 2.54i, where i represents the number of inches and c represents the number of centimeters For every centimeter, there are 2.54 inches. For every inch, there are 2.54 centimeters.
