PARCC QuestionsTexts worth reading: The assessments will use authentic texts worthy of study and that are motivating and engaging to read, instead of artificially produced or commissioned passages.
Questions worth answering, which includes:Sequences of questions that draw students into deeper encounters with texts (as in an excellent classroom), rather than sets of random questions of varying quality.
Items that allow students to demonstrate what they know, rather than what they don’t know—where items allow for partial credit
Items that allow for expression of divergent thinking
