2 PARCC Consortium PARCC will replace SBA Math Reading Writing

3 National Center and State Collaborative (NCSC) NCSC Consortium Assessments will replace NMAPA

4 PARCC s Theory of Action

5 PARCC s Fundamental Goal States in the Partnership are committed to building their collective capacity to increase the rates at which students graduate from high school prepared for success in college and the workplace

6 Theory of Action: Assessment System Design Meaningful Standards: Common Core State Standards which are consistent across states & clear to the public. Higher Quality and Meaningful Tests: Assessment items and tasks that measure critical thinking, strategic problem solving, research and writing. Maximize Technology: Computer based assessments. Cross-State Comparability: Common assessments and common performance standards. 6

7 The PARCC Assessment Design

8 Teaching to the Test vs. A Test Worth Teaching To Understanding by Design (UBD) What Enduring Understanding? What is Acceptable Evidence? Which Learning Experiences & What Instruction? PARCC s Evidence Centered-Design (ECD) What Claims? What Evidence Supports the claim? Which Tasks points to the Evidence?

9 PARCC Assessment Focus The PARCC Assessment System will assess: Writing Reading Mathematics

10 Item & Task Prototypes:

14 PARCC Student Reporting & College and Career-Ready Determination (CCRD)

15 Claims Driving Design: ELA/Literacy Students are on-track or ready for college and careers Students read and comprehend a range of sufficiently complex texts independently Reading Literature RL.X.1-10 Reading Informational Text RI.X.1-10 and Reading Literacy Standards Vocabulary Interpretation and Use RL/RI.X.4 and L.X. 4-6 Students write effectively when using and/or analyzing sources. Written Expression W.X.1-10 and Disciplinary Writing Standards Conventions and Knowledge of Language L.X.1.-3 Students build and present knowledge through research and the integration, comparison, and synthesis of ideas.

16 Claims Driving Design: Mathematics Students are on-track or ready for college and careers Students solve problems involving the major content for their grade level with connections to practices Students solve problems involving the additional and supporting content for their grade level with connections to practices Students express mathematical reasoning by constructing mathematical arguments and critiques Students solve real world problems engaging particularly in the modeling practice Student demonstrate fluency in areas set forth in the Standards for Content in grades 3-6

17 College-and Career-Ready Determination Policy PARCC will have 5 achievement levels or Performance Level Descriptors (PLDs). In order to earn and maintain a College- and Career-Ready Determination in mathematics and ELA/Literacy, a student will need to achieve at least the threshold score for Level 4. PARCC Policy Level PLDs Level 5 Distinguished Command Level 4 Strong Command Level 3 Moderate Command Level 2 Partial Command Level 1 Minimal Command Current SBA PLDs Advanced Proficient Nearing Proficiency Beginning Step

18 PARCC Accommodations Policies

19 PARCC Accommodations PARCC will allow for reading access accommodations for a small number of students who have a disability that prevents them from being able to decode text and/or who are blind or visually impaired and unable to read Braille. PARCC will allow for a calculator accommodation (calculators, arithmetic tables, and various manipulatives) for eligible students with disabilities on mathematics test sessions in all grades where calculators are not allowed.

20 PARCC Comprehensive Accessibility Policies *Available to all participating students **For students with disabilities, English learners, and English learners with disabilities 20

21 21 Accessibility Features for ALL Students

22 Accessibility Features for All Students Tool, support, scaffold, or preference that is built into the assessment system that can be activated by any student, at his or her own discretion. Universal Design features expected to benefit a diverse array of students and are available to all students. Provided onscreen, stored in a toolbar, or are accessible through a menu or control panel, as needed. During the assessment, students can choose which accessibility features they need for specific items. Examples include: audio amplification, highlighting, pop-up glossary, etc. 22

23 Accessibility Features for All Students Accessibility Features for All Students Audio Amplification Blank Paper (provided by test administrator) Eliminate Answer Choices Flag Items for Review General Administration Directions Clarified (by test administrator) General Administration Directions Read Aloud and Repeated (by test administrator) Highlight Tool Headphones Magnification/Enlargement Device NotePad Pop-Up Glossary Redirect Student to Test (by test administrator) Spell Checker Writing Tools 23

24 Additional Accessibility Features *Available to all participating students; even WITHOUT an IEP or 504 Plan; ELL plan 24

25 Accessibility Features Identified in Advance Available to all students (i.e., not limited to students with IEPs, 504 plans, or English learners), but will be selected and turned on by school-based educators prior to the assessment, based on each student s Personal Needs Profile (PNP). Based on each student s individual needs, a PNP is created for the student to ensure that he or she receives appropriate access without the distraction of other tools and features that are not required by the student. Although school-based educators will enable specific accessibility features for students, the student will decide whether or not to use the feature. These accessibility features will be readily available on the computer-delivered testing platform. 25

26 Accessibility Features Identified in Advance Accessibility Features Identified in Advance Answer Masking Background/Font Color (Color Contrast) General Masking Line Reader Tool Text-to-Speech for the Mathematics Assessments 26

27 Administrative Considerations for All Students Detailed guidelines on the administration of the PARCC assessments will be included in the PARCC Test Administration Manual. Principals may determine that any student may require one or more of the following test administration considerations, regardless of the student s status as a student with a disability or who is an English learner: Small group testing Frequent breaks Time of day Separate or alternate location Specified area or seating Adaptive and specialized equipment or furniture 27

32 Other Proposed Accommodations for Students with Disabilities Category Accommodation Timing & Scheduling Extended Time Setting Many settings that were once considered accommodations are now consider accessibility features for all students and will be included in the test administrator manual. These include separate location, small group testing, specified area or seating, time of day, and frequent breaks. 32

33 Unique/Emergency Accommodations A small number of students may require additional accommodations either because they are not listed in the PARCC manual, or they do not have an IEP or 504 plan but require an accommodation as a result of a recently-occurring accident or illness. PARCC states will review requests for unique accommodations in their respective states on an individual basis and will provide approval after determining whether the accommodation would result in a valid score for the student, using guidelines comparable across PARCC states. 33

34 NMPED Technology Framework PED will provide Technology Guidelines for schools/districts Districts will be able to assess their device gaps

The module would help students identify the types of analysis and resources they would use in writing at the level of demand refelcted in CCSS & PARCC Assessments
