What is the PARCC?
PARCC stands for the Partnership for Assessment and
Readiness for College and Career
The PARCC is given to students in grades 3-11 in
Language Arts and Mathematics
There are two mandatory parts of the PARCC
PBA
– Performance Based-Assessment (March 2-27)
EOY
– End of Year Assessment (April 27-May 22)
The PARCC is based off of the Common Core State
Standards (CCSS)
Wait – What is the Common Core?
The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are
a set of sequential benchmarks that identify
what a child needs to have learned and be
able to do by the end of each grade.
The ultimate goal is for each student to
graduate ready and able to move on to college
or into a career.
~ Wayne Township Public Schools
Wait – What is the Common Core?
Educators from 45 states worked together to
create a uniform set of expectations for all
students.
The standards were developed by a partnership
with the states, teachers, school administrators,
education experts, parents, and business leaders
from around the country.
~ Wayne Township Public Schools
Wait – What is the Common Core?
Why the PARCC instead of NJASK?
Current assessments do not:
Assess and identify whether a student is on track for success in
college or the work force
Accurately identify how students compare to students in the state,
country and the rest of the world
Produce timely feedback for educators and parents as a result of
being a computer based assessment
Test skills of critical thinking and problem solving

Teacher/Administrator Evaluation
Teachers & Administrators are evaluated on their
Student Growth Percentile (SGP)
SGPs monitor how much students grow compared to
other students with similar scores
For the 2014-2015 school year, 10% of the teacher
evaluation (4th/5th only) will be based on SGPs from
PARCC
A portion of the Administrator Evaluation score is
based on SGP
How does PARCC impact GE?
School/District Achievement
The 2014-2015 SY assessment will provide baseline
Progress Targets. We will not be compared to last
year’s Progress Targets.
Our SGPs will be compared from last year to this
year (4th/5th only).
We will be compared only to other New Jersey
schools.
