2 What is PARCC? The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers Computer Based Assessment Mathematics & Language Arts Literacy Based on Common Core Standards LPSD Grades 3-8 Replaces NJASK (Except grades 4 & 8 Science)
3 Overview PARCC is an assessment system, common across multiple states, that is designed to: Track college and career readiness Utilize multiple assessments throughout the year Provide feedback to improve instruction
4 Common Core Standards New Jersey adopted the Common Core in June of This replaces the NJCCCS in math and ElA. The Common Core is a set of standards, not a curriculum. They are used to design the when, where, why, and how in curriculum. They are the bare minimum of what should be covered by certain grade levels.
5 Why Did New Jersey Adopt the Common Core? Preparation: The standards are college-and career-ready. They will help prepare students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in education and training after high school. Competition: The standards are internationally benchmarked. Common standards will help ensure our students are globally competitive. Equity: Expectations are consistent for all. Clarity: The standards provide a consistent, clear understanding of what students are expected to learn, so teachers know what they need to do to help students meet them. Collaboration: The standards create a foundation to work collaboratively across states and districts, pooling resources and expertise, to create curricular tools, professional development, common assessments, and other materials.
6 Common Core State Standards Video Good for Students / Good for New Jersey
7 NJCCCS vs. Common Core NJCCCS Demonstrate an understanding of whole number place value concepts (4.1.3 A.2) Mathematics Grade 3 CCSS Use place value understanding to round whole numbers to the nearest 10 or 100 (3.NBT.1) Related but much more specific expectations

(RL.4.3)
9 NJCCCS vs. Common Core NJCCCS Produce written work and oral work that demonstrate comprehension of informational materials (3.1.7.H.1) English Language Arts Grade 7 CCSS Determine two or more central ideas in a text and analyze their development over the course of the text; provide an objective summary of the text. (RI.7.2)
10 NJCCCS vs. Common Core NJCCCS Understand and apply the Pythagorean Theorem (4.2.8.A.2) Mathematics Grade 8 CCSS 1. Explain a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse 2. Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to determine unknown side lengths in right triangles in real-world and mathematical problems in two or three dimensions. 3. Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance between two points in a coordinate system. (8.G.B.6-8)
11 NJASK vs. PARCC NJASK Paper/Pencil Test Aligned to NJCCCS Grades 3 8 HSPA Grade 11 Administered Once per Year o Approximately 8 hours of testing Includes Science o Grades 4 & 8 PARCC Computer Based Aligned to CCSS Grades 3 11 Algebra I Option Administered Twice per Year o Approximately 9-11 hours of testing Science will be administered in the ASK Format
12 English Language Arts/Literacy - Unit Timing PBA Unit 1 (LA) PBA Unit 2 (RS) PBA Unit 3 (NW) Grade Grade EOY Unit 1 EOY Unit 2 Grade LA: Literacy Analysis RS: Research Simulation NW: Narrative Writing Mathematics Unit Timing PBA Unit 1 PBA Unit 2 EOY Unit 1 EOY Unit 2 Grade Grades Grades Algebra I
13 PBA & EOY Performance-Based Assessment (PBA) Testing window is March 2, 2015-March 27, The ELA/Literacy PBA will focus on writing effectively when analyzing text. The Mathematics PBA will focus on applying skills, concepts, and understandings to solve multi-step problems requiring abstract reasoning, precision, perseverance, and strategic use of tools. End-of-Year Assessment (EOY) Testing window is April 27, May 22, The ELA/Literacy EOY will focus on reading comprehension. The math EOY will be comprised of innovative, machine-scorable items.
14 Accessibility Features Accessibility features are tools or preferences that are either built into the assessment or provided externally by Test Administrators. Accessibility features can be used by any students taking the PARCC assessment. The features can be accessed by the student when they need or want to use them through a toolbar or a menu. PARCC provides accommodations for Student with Disabilities and English Learners. These accommodations must be stated in the student s IEP or 504 plan, or outlined as their English learning strategies.
15 Lincoln Park Testing Schedule Performance Based Assessment (PBA) 3 rd Grade March 2 6 (AM) 4 th Grade March (AM) 5 th & 6 th Grade March 10 March 16 (AM) 7 th & 8 th Grade March 2 March 6 (AM) End of Year (EOY) 3 rd Grade April (AM) 4 th Grade May (AM) 5 th & 6 th Grade May 4 May 7 (AM) 7 th & 8 th Grade April 27 April 30 (AM)
16 Lincoln Park Testing Procedures The LP administration will assign students to a classroom and to a teacher for administration of the test. All students will be tested in the morning. Students who are afforded extra time may extend into the afternoon. Students will test on ipads, laptops, and desktops. All devices are ones that are familiar to the students.
17 Findings from PARCC Pilot in Lincoln Park May, 2014 Many issues from day 1 were resolved by day 2. Laptops did not start immediately because of updates. Some laptops batteries were dying during the test. Some laptops had difficulty connecting to the LPMS WiFi. One student could not type in the text box during the test. One student began testing with 20% charge and had to charge during test. When a student stopped a section, it was time consuming to get assistance to restart the student.
18 Student Thoughts from Pilot Some had a hard time figuring out how to use the tools. Some thought it took a long time switching between problems. One student said that he didn t hit submit and he went to the next problem, his answer wasn t saved. It was hard plotting on the X,Y axis. They had to be exact. Students felt a mouse with the keyboard was essential. Students who used an ipad one day and a laptop the next, saw no difference between the two. More students preferred the paper and pencil version.
19 PARCC Questions Is passing the PARCC a requirement for promotion to the next grade level and graduation? No - The PARCC will have no bearing on whether a student is promoted to the next grade. No Passing the PARCC is one of several measures that can be used in determining graduation from high school. Proficiency in the SAT or ACT, in addition to the portfolio appeal process, are also used. A student does not have to pass PARCC to graduate from high school.
20 PARCC Questions Does the State provide an opt-out option? No - The State does not provide an optout option. The district is obligated by State regulations to administer the PARCC exam to all eligible students. The state requires districts maintain a 95% participation rate on state required assessments.
