  3. PARCC Overview -ELA/Literacy & Math Fratz, Amy. "Goodbye NJ ASK, So Long HSPA, Hello PARCC." NJEA Review Jan. 2014: 10-14. Print. • Coming 2014 – 2015 School Year • Field Test: Spring 2014 • NJ is 1 of 14 states that will be participating in the PARCC field test this spring. • Schools were chosen randomly. • Only 2 classes per grade level.

  4. PARCC Overview -ELA/Literacy & Math *2 Optional Non-Summatives • Diagnostic Assessment • Mid Year Assessment (MYA) • Potentially Summative • 1 Required Non-Summative • **Speaking & Listening Assessment (ELA/Literacy) * Available to use for a “fee”. NJDOE has not announced position on the use of these optional tests. **Although required, the score will not be included in summative score. Fratz, Amy. "Goodbye NJ ASK, So Long HSPA, Hello PARCC." NJEA Review Jan. 2014: 10-14. Print. 2 Required Summatives • Performance Based Assessment (PBA) • End of Year Assessment (EOY)

  7. PARCC Design & Sample Items - ELA http://www.parcconline.org/samples/english-language-artsliteracy/grade-6-ebsr-narrative-writing-task http://www.parcconline.org/samples/english-language-artsliteracy/grade-6-tecr-narrative-writing-task http://www.parcconline.org/samples/english-language-artsliteracy/grade-7-prose-constructed-response-research-simulation-task-0 3 Items Types (ELA) Evidence Based Selected Response (EBSR) Technology Enhanced Constructed Response (TECR) Range of Prose Constructed Responses (PCR)

  8. PARCC Design & Sample Items - ELA Performance Based Assessment (PBA) (3 Tasks focus on writing effectively & analyzing text) Literary Narrative Task Students need to read complex text closely, answer EBSR & TECR questions, & compose an analytic essay. 8th Grade Example: 7 items (6 EBSR or TECR; 1 PCR) Narrative Task Students may be asked to write a story, detail a scientific process, write a historical account of important figures, or to describe an account of events, scenes, or objects, etc. 6th Grade Example: EBSR, TECR, 1 PCR http://www.parcconline.org/sites/parcc/files/Grade8SampleItemSet.pdf http://www.parcconline.org/sites/parcc/files/PARCCSampleItemsELALiteracyGrade6Items081513Final.pdf

  9. PARCC Design & Sample Items - ELA Performance Based Assessment (PBA) 3 Tasks The Research Simulation Task Not traditional assessments. Designed to measure more real-world skills: research, synthesis, writing. Grade 7 Example: 10 items (9 EBSR or TECR & 1 PCR) Students will read passage 1. Then, they will answer associated EBSR & TECR questions. Students will read passage 2 (and possible passage 3), and will answer additional EBSR & TECR questions. Finally, students will respond to PCR. http://www.parcconline.org/sites/parcc/files/Grade7PARCCSampleItems.pdf

  10. PARCC Design & Sample Items - ELA End of Year Assessment (EOY) Focuses on reading comprehension Includes four to five texts (both literary and informational) Topics may draw from social science, history, science/ Text may be highly technical in nature. EOY will include several short answer comprehension and vocabulary questions for each text. Fratz, Amy. "Goodbye NJ ASK, So Long HSPA, Hello PARCC." NJEA Review Jan. 2014: 10-14. Print.

  11. PARCC Design & Sample Items - ELA Texts Are Complex Diverse Authentic Effectively Paired Power Point from WTPS Elementary Schools pgs 26 – 29 (Jessica Rose)

  12. PARCC Design & Sample Items - Math 3 Tasks • Type 1: Tasks Assessing Concepts, Skills, and Procedures • Include a balance of conceptual understanding, fluency, and application • Machine scored • Sample Problems • Type 2: Tasks Assessing Mathematical Reasoning • Call for written arguments/justifications, critique of reasoning, or precision in mathematical statements. • Sample Problems http://www.parcconline.org/samples/mathematics/grade-6-mathematics http://www.parcconline.org/samples/mathematics/grade-6-mathematics

  13. PARCC Design & Sample Items - Math http://www.parcconline.org/samples/mathematics/grade-6-mathematics 3 Tasks • Type 3: Tasks Assessing Modeling Applications • Call for modeling/application in a real world context or scenario. • Includes a mix of innovative, machine scored, and hand scored responses. • Sample Problems

  15. Scoring In NJ, a teacher’s student growth percentile (SGP) rating will be calculated from student scores on the performance-based (PBA) and end of year (EOY) assessments. PARCC’s goal is to return PBA and EOY data to schools by June. • Fratz, Amy. "Goodbye NJ ASK, So Long HSPA, Hello PARCC." NJEA Review Jan. 2014: 10-14. Print.

  16. Scoring ELA/Literacy scores will be reported in 3 categories: ELA/Literacy Reading and comprehending a range of sufficiently complex texts independently. Writing effectively when using and/or analyzing sources. Students’ scores will be based on a composite of reading and writing scores. For ELA/Literacy and Math Students will receive both scaled and performance level scores. • Fratz, Amy. "Goodbye NJ ASK, So Long HSPA, Hello PARCC." NJEA Review Jan. 2014: 10-14. Print.

  17. Scoring Performance Level Descriptors (PLD) indicate the knowledge, skills, & practices that students should be able to demonstrate at each performance level, in each content area (ELA/Literacy & Math), at each grade. PARCC has five Performance Level Descriptors • http://www.parcconline.org/sites/parcc/files/PLDPresentation_06-26-13.pptx

  18. Scoring PARCC Scoring Level 5: Distinguished Command of the subject Level 4: Solid Command… Level 3: Moderate Command… Level 2: Partial Command… Level 1: Minimal Command… NJ ASK Scoring • Advanced Proficient • Proficient • Partially Proficient PowerPoint: PARCC policy “…students who score a “4” will have a 75% chance of earning a “C” or better in further studies…” PDLs will undergo changes as data is collected from PARCC field test and year 1 administration. http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/curriculum/2012/11/final_college_readiness_defini.html Fratz, Amy.

  19. PARCC Timing The PBA and EOY assessments will be administered in 9 sessions: PBA: 5 Sessions (ELA: 3 Sessions; Math: 2 Sessions) EOY: 4 Sessions (ELA: 2 Sessions; Math: 2 Sessions) The PBA and EOY will have a testing window of 20 days each. However, schools can complete their testing in as little as 5-9 days, technology and resources permitting. Total Time on Task for Grades 6-8: 9 hours, 25 minutes • Additional time will be allowed for students with disabilities, etc. • Fratz, Amy.
