Secondary PARCC Practice TestsInstructional Implications
Session Outcomes
Participants will:• Explore the design and content of sample
PARCC items in ELA and Mathematics.• Determine how the design and content of
the PARCC assessment will impact classroom instruction.
Questions
• Please feel free to ask questions at any time during the session.
• If we are unsure about the answer, we will put the question in the PARKING LOT and consult a MSDE representative.

Assessment Tutorial
As you go through the tutorial, consider:• How does the tutorial address UDL?• How does the PARCC assessment differ
from MSA/HSA?• What tools might teachers have to show
students how to use?

Purpose of the Practice Tests
Why would you use the practice tests as a part of instruction?
• Format• Types of Assessment Items• Message to Students• Professional Learning
MATHEMATICS
Thinking About Math
As we explore the content of the math items, think about…
• Which mathematical practices would students apply to each test item to reach proficiency?
• What are the implications for instruction?• What kinds of instructional activities should be
implemented in the classroom before students take the PARCC assessment?
What is available from PARCC for Math?
Sample Items – Includes items from Grades 6-8, Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II with some performance based tasks.
Practice Tests – Current tests are end of year (task type 1 – machine scoreable) and available for Grades 6-8, Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II
SAMPLE ITEMS
• Take a look at the available sample math items for Grades 6-8 and/or high school.

PRACTICE TEST
• Current practice tests are end-of-year (EOY).
• Let’s take a look at some examples from the practice test.– The examples represent
some of the focus clusters
Non-Calculator and Calculator Grade 7 Sample Items
• What do you notice?
Non-calculator Example #1
Non-calculator Example #2
Non-calculator Example #3
Calculator Example#1
Calculator Example #2
Time to Explore
• Now, take a look at the available math items in the practice tests for middle and/or high school.

PBA Simulation
The example we will look at is from the tenth grade Performance Based Assessment.
There are three sections: literary analysis, research simulation, and a narrative task.
http://practice.parcc.testnav.comClick on PRACTICE TESTS
The Test
• 1-7: Literary analysis• 8-17: Research simulation• 18-23: Narrative task
• Read/view the texts, and answer the questions.• Discuss the skills and knowledge required by
students to respond to the questions and essay.
Focus Question – ELA
• What kinds of instructional activities should be implemented in the classroom before students take the PARCC assessment?
Consider this question as you preview the ELA practice tests.

PARCC for ELA
As you analyze the knowledge and skills required by these examples, what are the implications for instruction how do they differ from recent instructional practices?

Putting it all Together…
As you analyze the knowledge and skills
required by the EOY and PBA examples, what are the implications for instruction and how may it differ from
recent instructional practices?
Talk About…
• Now that we have identified three resources (the tutorial, sample items, and practice tests) and explored the PARCC website, how can you share this information with others at your school?
Thank you! Questions?
