Key Points About the Common Core

  • aligned to college and career expectations
  • internationally benchmarked so that all students

are prepared to succeed in our global world

  • include rigorous content and application of skills

and knowledge through use of higher-order skills

  • represent a “sea change” in education
slide-3
SLIDE 3
  • Include rigorous content and application of knowledge

through higher-order thinking skills

  • Provide performance-based collaborative activities

and assessments

  • Integrate literacy across content areas including

Science and Social Studies

  • Place stronger emphasis on informational text,

research, and media skills

How Will The Standards Be Different?

Instructional Shifts in ELA

  • 6 Shifts in ELA

○ Read more nonfiction than fiction ○ Learn about the world by reading ○ Read more challenging material closely ○ Discuss reading using evidence ○ Text-based evidence responses ○ Increase academic vocabulary

Instructional Shifts in Math

  • 6 Shifts in Mathematics

○ Focus: Learn more about fewer, key topics ○ Coherence: Build skills within and across grades ○ Fluency: Develop speed and accuracy ○ Deep Understanding: Really know it, really do it ○ Application of Concepts: Use them in the real world ○ Dual Intensity: Practice/Understand- solve problems

PARCC Assessments

  • What is PARCC?
  • What will it look like?
  • How will it be different from NJASK/HSPA?
  • When will PARCC assessments be administered?

PARCC Assessments

  • Beginning in 2014-2015, PARCC Assessments will

replace NJASK in grades 3-8. At the high school level, PARCC exams will be introduced for English 9, 10, 11 and Algebra 1, Geometry and Algebra 2.

  • PARCC Assessments are comprised of two sections:

○ Performance Based Assessment (PBA) ○ End of Year Assessment (EQY)

How Is PARCC Different?

NJASK/HSPA PARCC

  • Administered once
  • Paper based/ No tech
  • ELA & Math (3-8 &11)
  • Science (4 & 8)
  • 60-135 minutes per day
  • Test PREP
  • Lost Instructional Time
  • Administered twice Computer

based/ Tech

  • ELA Grades 3-11
  • Math Grades 3-8, Algebra,

Geometry & Algebra 2

  • No Science
  • 75-90 minutes per day
  • No Test PREP
  • Regular Day
slide-12
SLIDE 12

What Does A Testing Session Look Like

  • Classroom or Technology Room
  • Morning
  • Administered by your child’s teacher
  • Teachers can help with tech if a student is struggling
  • Teachers can clarify directions
  • Students can review and change answers
  • Classes who are not testing will have a regular morning

Scoring: How Is PARCC Scored

NJASK/HSPA PARCC

  • 3 Levels
  • Scale of 100-300
  • Basic data
  • Received in Fall of next year
  • Ceiling score
  • 5 Levels
  • Scale of 1-5
  • Rich data
  • Year 1 receive in Fall of next

year

  • Years after receive by June of

current year

  • Score beyond grade level
slide-15
SLIDE 15

Scoring

  • Take 2 tests (March and May)
  • Receive one score for Math and one score for ELA

Level Descriptor 5 Students performing at this level demonstrate a distinguished command of the knowledge, skills,and practices embodied by the CCSS assessed at their level 4 Strong Command 3 Moderate Command 2 Partial Command 1 Minimal Command

How Is PARCC Different: Technology

NJASK

  • Paper Based
  • No Technology Needed

PARCC

  • Computer Based
  • Technology Needed to

Answer Questions

slide-19
SLIDE 19

How Is PARCC Different: Technology

  • Use technology to determine student understanding in

authentic ways

  • Drag and drop
  • Shade text
  • Cut and paste
  • Move items

Purpose and Use of PARCC Data

  • As one of many multiple measures that assist teachers, our

schools, and the district to support differentiated instruction and strategic decision making

  • To inform parents and students on progress towards “on track”

college and career readiness

PARCC Assessments

Teachers, students, parents, and others can engage with the sample items using computer-based tools such as drag-and-drop, multiple select, text highlighting, and an equation builder. PARCC has also released online tutorials that demonstrate how students will navigate the test, how to use the computer-based tools, and features that make the test more accessible for all students, including those with disabilities and English learners. http://practice.parcc.testnav.com/#

PARCC and ELA

  • Literary Analysis Task
  • students will compose an analytic essay on a piece of

literature worthy of close study

  • Narrative Task
  • students will broaden their use if this type of writing
  • Research Simulation Task
  • students will analyze information on a particular topic from

a variety of print and multimedia sources synthesizing information into a written essay or essays

  • Read all kinds of texts

○ Stories ○ Newspapers ○ Magazines ○ Biographies ○ Science/ History

  • Talk with your child about what they read
  • Ask your child questions about what they are reading (Text-Based

Evidence)

  • Model how you learn, gather information and arrive at decisions

Math Tips

  • Practice adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing
  • Encourage children to illustrate the problem and explain

their thinking in math

  • Encourage children to try more than once while solving

problems, to build stamina and develop their critical thinking skills

  • Instead of giving them the answers, ask them to think of

different ways they can solve problems

  • Use of math in authentic situations

What Is The District Doing to Prepare?

  • Ongoing alignment of curricula to Common Core

○ implementation of CCSS in 2013-2014

  • Targeted professional development for teachers
  • Strategic shifts in assessment vehicles to reflect PARCC
slide-74
SLIDE 74

What Is The District Doing to Prepare: Technology?

  • District-wide improvement made to the infrastructure

enhancing connectivity

  • Increasing inventory allowing for greater student access to

digital environments

  • Shifts in how ideas /resources are shared by classroom

stakeholders
