Angela LaBounty
PARCC Sample Items and Tasks Review With your partner or table groups …
What are some of the common characteristics that exist in the question stems/tasks?
Where do you notice an increase in rigor from past standards to the expectations now for students within the Common Core?
What kind of instruction is needed to ensure student success on these types of tasks?
Points to Ponder …
Where would my students succeed?
Where would my students stumble?
How does my grade level build before or from the rigor of this task?
Given what I know now, what is ONE next step I should take to prepare myself to write common assessments and/or plan instruction?
What is ONE next step for my team?
