PARCC’s Theory of Action
PARCC’s Fundamental Goal
States in the Partnership are committed to building their collective capacity to increase the rates at which students graduate from high school prepared for success in college
and the workplace
– Meaningful Standards: Common Core State Standards which are consistent across states & clear to the public.
– Higher Quality and Meaningful Tests: Assessment items and tasks that measure critical thinking, strategic problem solving, research and writing.
– Maximize Technology: Computer based assessments.
– Cross-State Comparability: Common assessments and common performance standards.
Theory of Action: Assessment System Design

The PARCC Assessment Design
“Teaching to the Test” vs. “A Test Worth Teaching To”
Understanding by Design (UBD)
What Enduring Understanding?
What is Acceptable Evidence?
Which Learning Experiences & What
Instruction?
PARCC’s Evidence Centered-Design (ECD)
What Claims?
What Evidence Supports the claim?
Which Tasks points to the Evidence?
PARCC Assessment Focus
The PARCC Assessment System will assess:
• Writing
• Reading
• Mathematics
Item & Task Prototypes: www.parcconline.org
The PARCC Assessment Design English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, Grades 3-11
End-of-Year Assessment •Innovative, computer-based items •Required
Performance-Based Assessment (PBA)
•Extended tasks •Applications of concepts and skills •Required
Diagnostic Assessment • Early indicator of student knowledge and skills to inform instruction, supports, and PD •Non-summative
Speaking And Listening Assessment
•Locally scored •Non-summative, required
2 Optional Assessments/Flexible Administration
Mid-Year Assessment •Performance-based •Emphasis on hard-to-measure standards

by constructing mathematical arguments
and critiques
Students solve real world problems
engaging particularly in the modeling practice
Student demonstrate fluency in areas set forth
in the Standards for Content in grades 3-6
Claims Driving Design: Mathematics
Students are on-track or ready for college and careers
College-and Career-Ready Determination Policy
PARCC will have 5 achievement levels or Performance Level Descriptors (PLDs). In order to earn and maintain a College- and Career-Ready Determination in mathematics and ELA/Literacy, a student will need to achieve at least the threshold score for Level 4.
PARCC Policy Level PLDs Current SBA PLDs
• Level 5 “Distinguished Command” Advanced
• Level 4 “Strong Command” Proficient
• Level 3 “Moderate Command” Nearing Proficiency
• Level 2 “Partial Command” Beginning Step
• Level 1 “Minimal Command”
PARCC Accommodations Policies
PARCC Accommodations
• PARCC will allow for reading access accommodations for a small number of students who have a disability that prevents them from being able to decode text and/or who are blind or visually impaired and unable to read Braille.
• PARCC will allow for a calculator accommodation (calculators, arithmetic tables, and various manipulatives) for eligible students with disabilities on mathematics test sessions in all grades where calculators are not allowed.

Accessibility Features for ALL Students
21
Accessibility Features for All Students
• Tool, support, scaffold, or preference that is built into the assessment system that can be activated by any student, at his or her own discretion.
• Universal Design features expected to benefit a diverse array of students and are available to all students.
• Provided onscreen, stored in a toolbar, or are accessible through a menu or control panel, as needed.
• During the assessment, students can choose which accessibility features they need for specific items. Examples include: audio amplification, highlighting, pop-up glossary, etc.

*Available to all participating students; even WITHOUT an IEP or 504 Plan; ELL plan
Accessibility Features Identified in Advance
• Available to all students (i.e., not limited to students with IEPs, 504 plans, or English learners), but will be selected and “turned on” by school-based educators prior to the assessment, based on each student’s Personal Needs Profile (PNP).
• Based on each student’s individual needs, a PNP is created for the student to ensure that he or she receives appropriate access without the distraction of other tools and features that are not required by the student.
• Although school-based educators will enable specific accessibility features for students, the student will decide whether or not to use the feature. These accessibility features will be readily available on the computer-delivered testing platform.

Administrative Considerations for All Students
• Detailed guidelines on the administration of the PARCC assessments will be included in the PARCC Test Administration Manual.
• Principals may determine that any student may require one or more of the following test administration considerations, regardless of the student’s status as a student with a disability or who is an English learner: – Small group testing
– Frequent breaks
– Time of day
– Separate or alternate location
– Specified area or seating
– Adaptive and specialized equipment or furniture

Category Accommodation
Timing & Scheduling Extended Time
Setting
Many settings that were once considered accommodations
are now consider accessibility features for all students and
will be included in the test administrator manual. These
include – separate location, small group testing, specified
area or seating, time of day, and frequent breaks.
Unique/Emergency Accommodations
• A small number of students may require additional accommodations either because they are not listed in the PARCC manual, or they do not have an IEP or 504 plan but require an accommodation as a result of a recently-occurring accident or illness.
• PARCC states will review requests for unique accommodations in their respective states on an individual basis and will provide approval after determining whether the accommodation would result in a valid score for the student, using guidelines comparable across PARCC states.

Since students at high school do not need a keyboarding
module, these modules could take a different approach and
be targeted to students as the primary audience.
The module would help students identify the types of analysis and resources they would use in writing at the level of demand refelcted in CCSS & PARCC Assessments
