Today’s Guiding Question from PARCC Fellows:
Concerns: Clear messaging on technology or
glitches with PARCC field test. Concerns with short term to de-rail
implementation. How can we make glitches part of the
transition process rather than that which halts the transition?

Consistent Messaging from ESE
Why Are We Doing a Field Test in Spring 2014?
The test itself is being tested. No student, school
or district PARCC results will be reported. MCAS
will continue to be reported.
Spring 2014 is the only PARCC field test and the
one chance Massachusetts students will have to
influence which items make it on to the final
PARCC assessments.

The primary purposes of the PARCC Field Test are to:
Examine the quality of the PBA and EOY items
so that PARCC can build assessment forms for
the 2014-15 school year (speaking and
listening will not be part of the field test);
Pilot assessment administration procedures;
and
Give schools and districts the opportunity to
experience the administration of PARCC
assessments.
