Race to the Top Assessment Grants:
•
$350 million of Race-to-the-Top Fund to consortia of states to design and
develop common K-12 assessment systems aligned to CCSS
•
In September 2010, the U.S. Department of Education awarded grants to:
•
Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers
(PARCC) – 18 States, & DC
•
Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC)
•
Winning consortia - four years - to develop assessments systems,
•
States participating will administer new assessments statewide by 2014-2015
•
ACHIEVE was selected through a competitive bid process, by PARCC to be
the Project Manager.
21
Race to the Top Assessment Grants:
•
New Jersey is PARCC Governing Board State:
•
Will administer the assessment system statewide 2014-15 school year.
•
Will field test assessment items spring 2014.
•
Governing Board meets quarterly. The chief state school officer for each
of the governing states sits on the PARCC Governing Board. This to make
major policy, operational, design and financial decisions regarding PARCC.
•
Executive Committee meets weekly. (Governing Board Members from 6
states)
•
ACHIEVE won competitive bid, selected by PARCC to be the Project
Manager.
22
Why New Common Assessments?
Current Assessment Systems…
•
Too many tests, often with disconnected purposes
(e.g., instructional improvement vs. accountability vs.
college admissions)
•
Not challenging enough to measure CCR
•
Do not measure the full range of college- and careerready knowledge and skills (such as research, analysis,
critical thinking, and collaboration)
23
Why New Common Assessments?
Current Assessment Systems…
•
Fail to generate information for educators and
students quickly enough or at all
•
Are widely inconsistent across states making
results impossible to compare
24
Why New Common Assessments?
Next-Generation Common Assessment Systems will…
•
Measure students’ mastery of Common Core State
Standards
•
Provide a common measure of college and career
readiness
•
Include a range of item types that allow for the
assessment of higher-order skills
25
Why New Common Assessments?
Next-Generation Common Assessment Systems will…
•
Leverage new technologies in assessment and reporting
to get actionable student data to educators and parents
in real time
•
Mitigate challenges associated with student mobility by
ensuring students will have the same expectations
wherever they live

The PARCC Commitment…
PARCC is designed to promote quality
instruction aligned to the CC Standards,
so the assessment is worthy of preparation
rather than a distraction from good work.
TEACHING to the TEST may be a GOOD THING!
31
Understanding the
Common Core State
Standards …is to
understand PARCC
32
PVRSD Math TF – Work Session 1 | November 18, 2010
Why Common Core State Standards?
"The standards are designed to be robust
and relevant to the real world, reflecting the
knowledge and skills that our young people
need for success in college and careers,"
which will place American students in a
position in which they can compete in a
global economy.
33
33
Why Common Core State Standards?
•
Before Common Core State Standards we had
standards, but rarely did we have standards-based
instruction.
 Long
lists of broad, vague statements
 Mysterious assessments
 Coverage mentality
 Focused on teacher behaviors – “the inputs”

The CCSS Difference: Grade 8 Mathematics
Before: NJCCCS (2004)
1. Understand and apply the Pythagorean Theorem.
After: CCSS (2010)
1. Explain a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse.
1.
Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to determine unknown side
lengths in right triangles in real-world and mathematical problems
in two and three dimensions.
1.
Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the distance between two
points in a coordinate system.

Implications of the CCSS on
WHAT and HOW to teach…
What are the Critical Shifts to
Consider?
38
COMMON CORE SHIFTS in ASSESSMENTS
Shift 1: Focus Priority standards = focus of the assessments.
Other standards deemphasized.
Shift 2: Coherence Assessments will reflect the progression of
content and concepts as depicted in the standards across grade levels.
Shift 3: Fluency It will be assumed students possess required
fluencies through grade 8; as such, students will not be allowed to use
calculators in grades 3-5.
Students will be allowed to use four-function calculators with a square
root key or scientific calculators in grade 6 and scientific calculators in
grades 7-8.
39
CC SHIFTS in ASSESSMENTS continued ….
Shift 4: Deep Understanding
Each standard will be assessed from multiple perspectives, while
not veering from the primary target of measurement for the
. standard.
Shift 5: Application
Shift 6: Dual Intensity
Students will be expected to know grade-level mathematical content
with fluency and to know which mathematical concepts to employ
to solve real-world mathematics problems.

•In “Casey at the Bat,” Casey strikes out.
Describe a time when you failed at
something.
•In “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” Dr.
King discusses nonviolent protest.
Discuss, in writing, a time when you
wanted to fight against something that
you felt was unfair.
•In “The Gettysburg Address” Lincoln
says the nation is dedicated to the
proposition that all men are created
equal. Why is equality an important
70value to promote?

Cramer’s Rule for solving systems of equations uses determinants
to solve for each variable. D is the determinant of the coefficient
matrix. Dy is the determinant formed by replacing the coefficients of
y in D with the constant terms.

Example: Phone company ‘A’ charges an initiation fee plus a charge
per minute. The cost of using 300 minutes (plus initiation fee) is $25
and the cost of 700 minutes (plus initiation fee) is $33.
•Write an equation to represent the cost.
•What is the initiation fee?
•What is the cost per minute?
•Is this company’s offer better than the new phone company ‘B’s?
•Explain or compare with charts and graphs.

problems involving:
Medians, vertex angle, balancing point, centroid
Altitudes, acute triangles, obtuse triangles, right triangles, orthocenter,
interior, exterior or ….
Perpendicular Bisectors, concurrent lines, point of concurrency,
circumcenter of a triangle
Angle Bisectors, incenter, equidistant, ….

Adjusting Math Language to the CCSS
• Old habit to eliminate: Defining equality as “same as.”
The problem: This is mathematically incorrect and leads to
misconceptions.
New habit to adopt: Defining equality as “same value as.”
• Old habit to eliminate: “Addition makes things get bigger.”
The problem: When negative numbers are introduced, the old habit
has to be debugged.
New habit to adopt: Addition is about combining.
• Old habit to eliminate: “Subtraction makes things get smaller.”
The problem: As with addition, negative numbers make this wrong.
New habit to adopt: Subtraction is about difference.
76
Regular Practice With Complex Text and its
Academic Language: Why?
77
•
Gap between complexity of college and high school
texts is huge.
•
What students can read, in terms of complexity is
greatest predictor of success in college (ACT study).
•
Too many students are reading at too low a level.
What are the Features of Complex Text?
78
•
•
•
•
•
Subtle and/or frequent transitions
•
Complex sentences
Multiple and/or subtle themes and purposes
Density of information
Unfamiliar settings, topics or events
Lack of repetition, overlap or similarity in words
and sentences
What are the Features of Complex Text? (cont.)
79
•
•
Uncommon vocabulary
•
•
Longer paragraphs
Lack of words, sentences or paragraphs that review
or pull things together for the student
Any text structure which is less narrative and/or
mixes structures
It all boils down to…
Texts Worth Reading…and
Questions Worth Answering!

•
Incoherence and illogic – bizarre associations, or
lacking a thread

Three (3) Significant Shifts in Mathematics:
1. Focus: Focus strongly where the Standards focus.
2. Coherence: Think across grades, and link to major
topics within grades.
3. Rigor: In major topics, pursue:
• conceptual understanding;
• procedural skill and fluency; and
88
• application with equal intensity.

FOCUS continued
70% or more of the assessment will measure the major work in
grades 3-8
Focus allows for a variety of problem types (task types) to get at
a concept in multiple ways.
Students will have more time to master concepts at a deeper

Analysis of the PARCC
Mathematics Assessment:
Design Shifts
(Activity No. 4)
130
Shift No. 1…Focus where Standards Focus
Advance: PARCC assessments will focus strongly
where the Standards focus
(70% or more on the major work in grades 3-8).
 Focus allows for a variety of problem types to get at
concept in multiple ways.
 Students will have more time to master concepts at a
deeper level.
131
Shift No. 2…Coherence across/within grades
Advance: The assessment design is informed
by multi-grade progressions in the Standards
and the Model Content Frameworks.
 Key beginnings are stressed:
 e.g., ratio concepts in grade 6,
 e.g., fluency with the multiplication table in
grade 3
 Become key endpoints and takeaway skills
132
Shift No. 2…Coherence across/within grades
Advance: Integrative tasks draw on multiple
standards to ensure students are making
important connections.
 The Standards are not treated as a
checklist.
133
Shift No. 3…Rigor
Advance: PARCC assessments will reach the
rigor in the Standards through innovations in
technology and item design.

Modifications Accommodations NOT permitted
Modifications involve changes in the conditions under which a student takes an
assessment that result in unacceptable changes to the test itself, or what the test
measures (e.g., reducing or changing expectations for students) and are
therefore not permitted on PARCC assessments.
Examples of modifications that will result in invalidated results on PARCC
include:
•Requiring a student to be assessed on less content matter than other students
because he has been taught less material;
•Reducing the scope of assessments so a student needs to complete only a limited
number of problems or items;
154
•
Modifying the complexity of assessments to make them easier (e.g.,
deleting half of the response choices on a multiple-choice test so that a
student selects from two options instead of four);
•
Giving hints, clues, or other coaching that directs the student to correct
responses on assignments and tests;
•
Adults defining vocabulary on the test or explaining test items;
•
Allowing the student to complete an assessment of English language arts
in a language other than English; and
•
Using dictionaries that provide definitions (rather than an acceptable
word-to-word dual-language dictionary).

Level 1
Minimal Command
*Achieved CCR Performance Threshold
What does “distinguished” (Level 5) mean?
“Students performing at this level demonstrate a distinguished command
of the knowledge, skills, and practices embodied by the Common Core
State Standards for English language arts/literacy assessed at grade 11.
They are academically well prepared to engage successfully in entry-level,
credit-bearing courses in College English Composition, Literature, and
technical courses requiring college-level reading and writing.
Students performing at this level are exempt from having to take and pass
placement tests in two- and four-year public institutions of higher
education designed to determine whether they are academically prepared
for such courses without need for remediation.”
158
What does it mean to be CCR? (Level-4)
“Students who earn a PARCC College- and Career-Ready
Determination by performing at Level 4 in mathematics
and enroll in College Algebra, Introductory College
Statistics, and technical courses requiring an equivalent
level of mathematics have approximately a 0.75
probability of earning college credit by attaining at least a
grade of C or its equivalent in those courses.”
159
What does it mean to be CCR? (cont.)
Will be used as a benchmark against which the CCR cut score on
the PARCC assessments will be validated through empirical
research.
•WHY - a “C” is the minimum grade needed to earn credit for a
course
•WHY - a reasonably high standard but not unattainable.
•WHY - similar to the criteria used by ACT,
•WHY - other important CCR skills will not be measured by PARCC
assessments.
160
What are the cut scores for each level?
As/PARCC, “the vendor selected through the RFP will
also work with state leaders, educators and eternal
experts to determine the cut scores to establish the five
PARCC Performance levels for each grade-level
assessment.
161
RFP for “Operational Assessment”
Vendor proposals are due by Dec. 11, 2013.

PARCC Timeline…
NJ Spotlight (Nov. 20, 2013)
For the first time since 1989, New Jersey will next year suspend its
requirement that high school graduates pass a state test in language
arts and math to receive their diplomas. (No HSPA) But that doesn't
mean there will be fewer tests, just that they'll be used for different
purposes.
For instance, current eighth, ninth, and 10th graders will be tested
in language arts and math now in three separate tests, and while
passing the exams will not be required for graduation, the scores
will be included in a student’s permanent transcript. (2014-15
school year)
