  1. New Approach to Designing Performance Level Descriptors: PARCC Mathematics Summative Assessment March 2013

  2. What are Performance Level Descriptors? Performance Level Descriptors or PLDs describe what students at each performance level know and can do relative to the grade-level or course content standards assessed.

  3. Building on Work to Date • In October 2012 PARCC established 5 performance levels • Level 5: Students performing at this level demonstrate a distinguished command of the knowledge, skills, and practices embodied by the Common Core State Standards assessed at their grade level. • Level 4: Solid command… • Level 3: Moderatecommand… • Level 2: Partial command… • Level 1: Minimal command…

  4. Factors that determine the performance levels (Cognitive Complexity) • Mathematical Content • Mathematical Practices • Stimulus Material • Response Mode • Processing Demand For more information on the PARCC Cognitive Complexity Framework see, “Proposed Sources of Cognitive Complexity in PARCC Items and Tasks: Mathematics”Aug. 31, 2012

  5. Claims Driving Design: Mathematics • Master Claim: Students are “on track” or ready for college and careers *Major content and additional and supporting content for each grade level are outlined in the PARCC Model Content Frameworks, available at http://www.parcconline.org/parcc-model-content-frameworks.

  6. Looking at the PLDs Gives the Sub-Claim that the PLD is written for (A-Major Content) Gives the PLD by performance level ranging from 2-5. Level 1 indicates a range from no work shown to Minimalcommand Gives the Concept the PLD is based on

  7. PARCC’s Process in Developing Performance Level Descriptors Draft Math PLDs presented to the PARCC Executive Committee for approval Mathematics Operational Working Group (OWG) refined PLDs Draft PLDs reviewed by College Board and Educational Testing Service (ETS) Draft PLDs released for public comment PLD Grade Band Meetings Final PLDs

  8. Capturing What Students Can Do • PLDs • capture how all students perform • show understandings and skill development across the spectrum of standards and complexity levels assessed
