Assessment Design
Emphasizes:● Reading and comprehending grade-level
complex text● Writing in response to sources - include
textual evidence into analysis or argument
![Page 8: 2013-14 TCAP Writing Assessment](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568160c3550346895dcfec20/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Modeled after PARCC Research Simulation Task (RST)
● Two complex informational tasks● Texts will cover social studies and science
topics● Students will write two essays:
○ One prose constructed response about the first text. The essay will be an analytical summary.
○ One prose constructed response analytical essay about both texts. The essay will be informational/explanatory or argumentative.

How will CC affect teaching in TN?
![Page 17: 2013-14 TCAP Writing Assessment](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568160c3550346895dcfec20/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
How can all 7 - 12 teachers teach literacy?
All teachers can use LDC Template Tasks in conjunction with appropriate Informational Tasks.
Literacy Design Collaborative (LDC)
![Page 18: 2013-14 TCAP Writing Assessment](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568160c3550346895dcfec20/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
LDC Template includes:
Each LDC template task includes the following components:
Template Prompt - a shell statement that allows teachers to fill-in-the-blanks with content and type of products and charges students with a task—what students should do and what product they should produce.
Generic Scoring Rubric - describes and connects demands and qualities established by the common core standards with the student product.

Why we need to change?
“We are currently preparing students for jobsthat don’t yet exist, using technologies that haven’t
been invented, in order to solve problems we don’t even know are problems yet.”
“If we could teach our students one thing by the end of our time with them, it would be the ability to think, reason, and solve problems - not necessarily math problems, but life problems.”
