PARCC ELA/Literacy Summative Assessment
Reflect Three Common Core Shifts. . .
• Regular practice with complex text and its academic
language
• Reading and writing grounded in evidence from text,
literary and informational
• Building knowledge through content rich nonfiction
Students’ Command of Evidence
with Complex Texts
is at the Core of Every Part of the Assessment!
Two standards are always in play —
whether items are focused on reading or writing.
• Use of Evidence
• Complex Texts

Three Innovative Item Types
Showcase Students’ Command of Evidence
with Complex Texts
• Evidence-Based Selected Response
(EBSR)
• Technology-Enhanced Constructed
Response (TECR)
• Prose Constructed Responses (PCR)

Evidence Based Selected Response
Sample Question Grade 6 ELA
Scoring Rationale for the previous question:
• Past tests would have given credit for a right Answer
regardless of how a student arrived at the answer, but
the PARCC assessment reflects the key shift of requiring
close reading by offering credit for Part A only if Part B is
correct and vice versa.
Scoring Points:
• 2 points are earned when the student correctly chooses
the answer to Part A (A) and the answer to Part B (D).
• There is no opportunity for partial credit on this item.

Technology-Enhanced Constructed Response Sample Question
Grade 7
Below are three claims that one could make based on the article
“Earhart’s Final Resting Place Believed Found.”
Earhart and Noonan lived as castaways on Nikumaroro Island.
Claims
Earhart and Noonan’s plane crashed into the Pacific Ocean.
People don’t really know where Earhart and Noonan died.
Part A
Highlight the claim that is supported by the most relevant and sufficient evidence
within “Earhart’s Final Resting Place Believed Found.”
Part B
Click on two facts within the article that best provide evidence to support the claim
selected in Part A.
Scoring Rationale for previous question:
• Past tests would have given credit for a right answer
regardless of how a student arrived at the answer, but the
PARCC assessment reflects the key shift of requiring close
reading by offering credit for Part B only if Part A is correct.
Scoring Points
• 2 points when students correctly answer Part A and identify
two facts or ideas from the article that support the claim (Part B)
• 1 point for correctly answering Part A and identifying one fact
or idea from the article that supports the claim (Part B)
• 0 points if Part A is not correctly answered.

Prose Constructed Response
Sample Question Grade 10
Draft Rubrics:
http://www.parcconline.org/samples/english-language-artsliteracy/grades-6-11-generic-rubrics-draft
Questions Worth Answering…
• draw students into deeper encounters with texts.
• provide opportunities for students to demonstrate what
they know.
• allow for partial credit.
• include purposeful options for student expression of
divergent thinking.
• use technology that allows students to construct meaning
for machine-scorable items.
Grade 3 Sample
“Research Simulation Task”
“Today you will research two people who lived long ago. As you read these
passages, you will gather information and answer questions. Then you will
write an article for your school newspaper to teach your classmates about
how there two people made a difference in America.”
• Excerpt 1 is from the book titled Eliza’s Cherry Trees: Japan’s Gift to
America and is about a young woman who lived in Washington, D.C., in
the 1800s.
• Excerpt 2 is “The Peanut Man” about George Washington Carver.

PARCC Math Summative Assessment
Reflect Three Common Core Shifts. . .
1. Focus: The PARCC assessment will 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 application.

PARCC and Retesting
PARCC will allow retest opportunities.
States will set their own policies on retakes.
• Beginning summer of 2015
• Once per year for grades 3-8
• Up to 3 times per year for each High School EOY assessment

Note: NYSED and PARCC have the same recommendations for the number of devices that will be needed.
Device Specifications
Minimum vs. Recommended
Minimum Specs…
Recommended Specs…
• may not be adequate
• are expected to satisfy
beyond 2 years.
• are more likely to
experience slower
performance.
• apply only to existing
school technology
inventories.
PARCC requirements until
2018-2019.
• apply to existing inventory
and new technology
purchases.
Paper and Pencil Format
Will Be Available…
• when an IEP requires.
• for schools approved by NYSED.
To Be Prepared and Ready…
• Technology and Logistics
• Complete/update technology readiness survey/tool
• Determine technology needs
• Analyze current technology curriculum
• Develop testing plan
• Instruction
• Implications for Instruction
• Sample/Prototype Problems (few available now, sample tests in Spring 2013)
• Research professional development opportunities for faculty
and staff. (PD modules will be developed November 2013-May 2014.)
