What is the PARCC test?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZbd7qEG3Ns

PARCC stands for  the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers

The Five Ws on PARCC• Who =>Students enrolled in Eng I, Eng II, Alg

I, Geometry, and possibly Eng III and Alg II• What =>Computer based assessment that

measures students knowledge of the CCSS• When=> Students will test over during a

specific time in March or April• Where=> The logistics of how we will test are

TBD• Why=> PARCC wants to ensure students

literacy and math skills are college ready.

What other test will my scholar have to take? • EOY: End of Year Assessments• SRI: Scholastic Reading Inventory -Reading baseline• Accucess: Math Baseline test• ACCESS: ELL testing for our population of scholars

who have yet to receive a 5 on the yearly Access test

• Unit Assessments: Measure scholars understanding of the CCSS in ELA and math for each unit of study

• PSAT/SAT• AP Exams

How can I help my scholar prepare for these test?

• Be aware of the testing windows• Ask teachers about how materials in class are connected to these test
