  6. Goal #3: Supports and Tools (continued) Professional Development Modules Item and Task Prototypes • Develop models of innovative, online-delivered items and rich performance tasks proposed for use in the PARCC assessments. • http://www.parcconline.org/samples/item-task-prototypes • Develop professional development modules focused on assessments to help teachers, school and district leaders, and testing coordinators understand the new assessment system and use of the data • Expected Fall 2013 Partnership Resource Center • One-stop shop for PARCC resources; provide an online warehouse for all PARCC tools and resources as well as other instructional material being developed by PARCC states and districts and national organizations • Expected Spring 2013

Timeline Through First PARCC Administration in 2014-2015 PARCC Tools & Resources Partnership Resource Center launched K-2 Formative Tools Released Diagnostic assessments released Professional development modules released College-ready tools released Summative PARCC Assessments Winter 2015 Spring 2015 Fall 2014 Spring 2013 Summer 2013 Fall 2013 Winter 2014 Spring 2014 Summer 2014 Pilot/field testing begins Model Instructional Units Released Expanded field testing of diagnostic assessment Expanded field testing Optional Diagnostic and Midyear PARCC Assessments Standard Setting in Summer 2015 PARCC Assessment Implementation

  9. Non-Summative Optional Assessment Components Optional Assessments/Flexible Administration • Diagnostic Assessment designed to be an indicator of student knowledge and skills so that instruction, supports and professional development can be tailored to meet student needs • Mid-Year Assessment comprised of performance-based items and tasks, with an emphasis on hard-to-measure standards. After study, individual states may consider including as a summative component Mid-Year Assessment • Performance-based • Emphasis on hard to measure standards • Potentially summative Diagnostic Assessment • Early indicator of student knowledge and skills to inform instruction, supports, and PD

  10. Summative Assessment Components • Performance-Based Assessment (PBA) administered as close to the end of the school year as possible. The ELA/literacy PBA will focus on writing effectively when analyzing text. The mathematics PBA will focus on applying skills, concepts, and understandings to solve multi-step problems requiring abstract reasoning, precision, perseverance, and strategic use of tools • End-of-Year Assessment (EOY) administered after approx. 90% of the school year. The ELA/literacy EOY will focus on reading comprehension. The math EOY will be comprised of innovative, machine-scorable items End-of-Year Assessment • Innovative, computer-based items Performance-Based Assessment (PBA) • Extended tasks • Applications of concepts and skills

  11. Two – Part Summative Assessment • Includes a performance-based assessment and an end of year or end of course exam • Administered at the elementary, middle school and high school level • Applies to PARCC( math and ELA) and state-developed assessments(science and social studies) Ohio’s Next Generation Assessments

  12. PARCC-Developed Assessments • English language arts • Grades 3 – 8 • English I, II, III= End of Year • Mathematics • Grades 3 – 8 • Math I, II, III (Traditional or Integrated Pathway) = End of Course • Operational school year 2014-15 Ohio’s Next Generation Assessments

  13. State-Developed Assessments Ohio’s Next Generation Assessments • Science • Grades 5, 8 = Grade specific • Physical Science and Biology = End of Course • Social Studies • Grades 4, 6 = Grade Specific • American History and American Government = End of Course • Operational school year 2014-15

  14. Assessment Transition 10th Grade College and Career Readiness - Fall

  15. Nationally Standardized Assessment (NSA) • ODE and OBR partnership • Measures college and career readiness • Administered in the fall of 10th grade • Informative for high school course planning

  16. PARCC Performance Level Descriptors (PLDs) The PARCC assessments will include a sufficient number of score points to support the accurate classification of student performance into five levels that will; • Provide better information across the full range of student performance, particularly for low-performing and high-performing students; • Help schools better target assistance to students at all levels; • Provide states with options for using performance levels with greater precision in various accountability mechanisms and decisions; and • Provide increased opportunities for students, schools, and districts to demonstrate growth. http://www.parcconline.org/parcc-assessment-policies

  17. PARCC Performance Level Descriptors (PLDs) Still open for comment Cut Scores will be determined in the Summer of 2015 using multiple stakeholders in the decision making process. Homepage for PARCC Assessment Policies http://www.parcconline.org/parcc-assessment-policies

Both accommodations will have specific eligibility criteria and will be limited to students who meet these criteria. A full range of other instructional accommodations will be provided. http://www.parcconline.org/open-policies-public-comment
