A commitment for interconnectivity

Big Message:


The Common Core State Standards
(CCSS) are directly connected to
the PARCC assessment.

CCSS are what we expect students
to know -outcomes

CCSS are grounded in content and
measured in meaningful ways.


Rigor and Mastery
The level of mastery that will be
reached is determined entirely by
what sort of questions students are
expected to answer.

Big Message: Performance levels
Performance Based Assessment PBA
End- of- Year Assessment
(EOY)
The performance-based assessment will be
administered approximately 75 percent of the
way through the academic study of the grade
or course content.

PBAs in math will focus on reasoning and
modeling and include questions that
require both short and extended
responses.

In ELA/literacy, the PBAs will focus on
both reading comprehension and writing
when analyzing texts.
End-of-year assessments are administered
after approximately 90 percent of the school
year.

The mathematics EOY will ask students to
demonstrate solid understanding of math
concepts and demonstrate mathematical
fluency.

Students taking Algebra 1 in 8th grade
and Geometry in 9th grade should sit for
PARCC Algebra 1 assessment in 8th grade.

The ELA/literacy EOY will focus on reading
comprehension.
*Student results on the PBAs will be combined with their results on end-of-year
assessments (EOYs) to produce overall PARCC scores in each content area.

*Student score reports will be available toward the end of September early October 2015
