  7. Device Capacity: “Rule of Thumb”

  8. Testing Window • Districts will have a maximum of two four-week windows to administer the Performance Based Assessments (PBA) and the End-of-Year (EOY) assessments. • Districts may opt to administer the assessments in a shorter time span if there is capacity to do so.

  9. PARCC Assessment Sessions: Grades 3-11

  10. PARCC Assessment Time:Grades 3-11 • The estimated time-on-task for a typical student to complete the full battery of PBA and EOY assessments in ELA and Mathematics is 8-10 hours. • Specific session lengths and totals by grade level are available online at the PARCC website. • Refined guidance will be shared after field testing.

  13. PARCC Proposed Performance Level Descriptors • PARCC will report student achievement on the PARCC assessments using five (5) performance level descriptors. • Level 4 is the proposed level for earning a CCR Determination.

  14. PARCC Proposed Performance Level Descriptors Although many current state assessments report student achievement using three (3) or four (4) performance levels, PARCC will use five (5) levels for a number of reasons: • PARCC assessments will include a sufficient number of score points to support the accurate classification of student performance into five levels; • Five levels will help schools better target assistance to students; • Five levels will provide states with options for using performance levels with greater precision in various accountability mechanisms and decisions; and • Five levels will provide increased opportunities for students, schools, and districts to demonstrate growth. Taken from http://www.parcconline.org/sites/parcc/files/PARCCCCRDPolicyandPLDs_FINAL.pdf

  15. Consortium- and State-Level Decisions • The standard setting conducted in the summer of 2015 will establish cut scores for each of the 5 performance levels on the PARCC assessments, to be used across the consortium. • Individual states will establish the minimum scores required for graduation.

  16. PARCC Website • Sample Items and Task Prototypes are available at: http://www.parcconline.org/samples/item-task-prototypes. • Assessment guidance is available at: http://www.parcconline.org/assessment-administration-guidance.
