Keep up with what's happening at PARCC.
To help prepare schools and teachers for the administration of the PARCC assessments, PARCC will develop and release sample additional assessment tasks
PARCC is contracting with the Institute for Learning at the University of Pittsburgh (English language arts/literacy) and the Dana Center at the University of Texas, Austin (mathematics) to develop models of innovative, online-delivered items and rich performance tasks proposed for use in the PARCC assessments. These prototypes will include both assessment and classroom-based tasks. Educators will be involved throughout the development of the prototypes, including participating in content reviews, piloting of the items and tasks, and participating in data reviews.
It is expected that a portion of these tasks will be released to serve as models for PARCC states. The tasks will be piloted in Spring 2012 and made available in Summer 2012.
