What is PARCC?• The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for
College and Careers (PARCC) is a consortium of 17 states plus the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands working together to develop a common set of K-12 assessments in English and math anchored in what it takes to be ready for college and careers.
• PARCC assessments are computer based and aligned with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS).
Devices To Be Used• Grades 3-5: oiPad
• Grades 6-8: oLaptop or desktop computer

PARCC Design for ELA

• Literary Analysis Tasks – students will read literature and compose an analytic essay.
• Research Simulation Tasks – students will analyze an informational topic presented through several articles or multimedia stimuli and then answer a series of questions, synthesizing information from multiple sources, in order to write two analytic essays.
• Narrative Tasks – students will convey real or imaginary, experiences or events (e.g. write a story, detail a scientific process, write a historical account of important figures, describe an account of events, scenes or objects).
Performance-Based Components
• Students will demonstrate their ability to read and comprehend complex informational and literary texts by answering questions that will be sequenced in a way that draw students into deeper encounters with the texts.

Administrative Considerations for
All
What is Not New?• New Jersey will administer a general state assessment in
mathematics, English Language Arts and Science (PARCC) AND an alternate assessment for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities (DLM).
• The IEP team determines whether a student with disabilities will participate in the PARCC or the DLM.
• The IEP or 504 team will determine what accommodations will be provided during administration of the PARCC and list them in the IEP or 504 plan.
• General education and special education staff need to plan ahead to ensure appropriate selection and administration of accommodations.
