PARCC overview
• The PARCC tests replace the old state tests. They measure how well students are performing against the new state standards that guide math and English language arts instruction.
• The PARCC tests are only one of several measures, including report card grades and in-class performance, that are used to determine a student's academic achievement. They do not impact a student’s grade
• The score reports are a valuable tool for parents and teachers. The report provides a deeper level of information that can be used to better understand where students are doing well and where they need additional support. This helps teachers and parents support students.

PARCC Overview• The PARCC tests moves away from multiple choice questions to
ones that allow students to demonstrate a real understanding of what they know and can do by writing essays, solving real world problems, and reading and analyzing complex text—all critical skills in the real-world.
• Your child’s score may look lower this year because the tests measured more complex skills. A low score does not mean your child did not improve or learned less, but instead that the expectations have been raised for students.
• The first year’s scores are a new baseline from which to progress from and measure against moving forward.

What makes PARCC different?
It tests critical thinking, rather than rote memorization. The test goes well beyond the traditional bubble tests by measuring critical thinking and problem solving skills that are very important in college and the workforce.
Other tests PARCC assessments
Primarily use multiple-choice format that emphasizes memorization, “test prep” and guessing.
Allow students to submit answers and detailed responses, eliminating guesswork and allowing students to show their thinking and knowledge.
Test students’ rote learning. Assess students’ abilities to read carefully, communicate clearly and problem solve.
Offer basic, one-step problems. Present challenging, multi-tiered problems.
Are too vague to offer detailed insight to gauge students’ readiness for the next step toward success.
Provide students, parents and educators detailed information so they can understand how students are progressing, where they need assistance and where they can be encouraged to do more.

How You Can Support your Child• Read a combination of fiction and non-fiction with your child. Look
for subjects of interest- from sports heroes to dinosaurs.• Discuss and “do” real life math with your child. Help him/her know
basic math facts.• Discuss the new tests with your child. Make sure he/she is not scared
or anxious going into the new tests.• Explain to your child that the tests will initially be more challenging.
Tell your child to do his/her best.• After the test, review the results with your child. Bring the teacher
into the discussion as needed.• Provide a quiet, comfortable place for studying at home and make
sure your child gets a good night’s sleep and a nutritious breakfast before a test.
• Above all, be positive and encouraging.
