  2. 2014-2015 Assessment Calendar

  3. Acronyms 3

  4. PARCC-Developed English Language Arts & Math Assessments • Administration planned for the spring of 2015 • The assessments have two components: • Performance-based assessment administered 75% of the way through the school year • End-of-year assessment administered 90% of the way through the year • Grades included: • English language arts: 3-11 • Math: 3-8, with 3 assessments in high school

  5. PARCC Assessment Design 75% of the year90% of the year • End-of-Year • Assessment • Innovative, computer-based items • Performance-Based • Assessment • Extended tasks • Applications of concepts and skills

  6. Current PARCC Design

  7. Secondary Math • Two pathways are offered for high school math assessments: • Algebra, Geometry, and Algebra II • Integrated/Math I, Integrated/Math II, and Integrated/Math III

  8. Secondary Math Options New high school mathematics assessment system has room for increased flexibility: • *Additional flexibility is being explored.

  9. Testing Time • The number of ELA items has been reduced • https://www.parcconline.org/parcc-states-reduce-no-items-elaliteracy-portion-test • Grades 3-5 - reduced by 2 passage sets (passage and questions) • Grades 6-11 - reduced by 1 passage set • PARCC is determining operational testing times based on field test performance. 9

  10. Practice Materials A full set of practice tests will be available this fall/winter Practice tests for paper and pencil tests are being developed Practice tests are available at the following location: http://practice.parcc.testnav.com/#

  11. CSAP/TCAP Writing – Middle School Imagine that your family is moving to a new place and your pet will not be allowed to live there. Write a letter to persuade the person in authority to allow your pet to live there. What kind of adult would you like to become? Write a paragraph to describe the kind of person you would like to be in ten years.

  12. PARCC English Language Arts – Middle School You have read a website entry and an article and watched a video describing Amelia Earhart. All three include information that supports the claim that Earhart was a brave, courageous person. The three titles are: “The Biography of Amelia Earhart” “Earhart’s Final Resting Place Believed Found” “Amelia Earhart’s Life and Disappearance” (video) Consider the argument each author uses to demonstrate Earhart’s bravery. Write an essay that analyzes the strength of the arguments related to Earhart’s bravery in at least two of the three supporting materials. Remember to use textual evidence to support your ideas.

  13. Capacity for Spring 2015 • We know that elementary and middle schools can assess online; however, depending on number of devices: • Multiple groups for each grade level • Technology directed to assessment • Current PARCC Design: • 5 sections per student for the performance-based assessment • 4 sections per student for the end-of-the-year assessment • Option that is being considered: Offer mathematics assessments as paper-based assessments

  14. CMAS: PARCC vs. Science/Social Studies • PARCC has adopted PearsonAccess Next as the foundation to use Testnav 8. Some terms are changing: • Student Data Upload (SDU) – is now Student Registration Import (SRI) • This year both terms will be used, since we are on two different platforms • Headphones are required for all students during the Research Simulation Unit of the ELA PBA

  15. Request for Early Test Window • PARCC is finalizing testing window options. • CDE expects to have a process similar to TCAP, under which districts will be able to request an early window • The details are still being determined
