Why PARCC in 2015?
• So why should a district elect to administer PARCC instead of MCAS in spring 2015?• Students participating in PARCC will have a head start on
experiencing a next generation assessment – the type of assessment that all schools will likely be required to administer in the 2015 - 2016 school year
• Districts that choose to administer PARCC in spring 2015 will be able to do so at “NO RISK” – they will have their 2015 accountability levels "held harmless"

What does PARCC look like?
• Computer based or paper and pencil
• 2 parts in English language arts (PBA and EOY)
• 2 parts in math (PBA and EOY)
• The first part (PBA) focuses on writing and analytical skills
• The second part (EOY) targets reading and math skills
• The two parts combined assess knowledge, skills, and ability to think critically

Does it count?
• In 2014 selected classes participated in the PARCC field test
• For the 2015 test, PARCC results will be official
• Students will receive performance results
• Parents and teachers will receive performance results
• Grade 10 will not take PARCC since MCAS is still required for graduation
• MCAS science and MCAS-Alt will continue as is for all grades
• The 9th and 11th grade PARCC tests are optional

Hold Harmless
• Districts that chose to administer PARCC in spring 2015 will have their accountability levels “held harmless.”
• This means a district’s accountability level can only improve or remain the same. It cannot decline from its 2014 level.
