Standardized Testing
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
