PARCC TESTING - 2016
The PARCC assessments are aligned to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and were created to measure students' ability to apply their knowledge of concepts rather than memorizing facts. The PARCC assessments require students to solve problems using mathematical reasoning and to be able to model mathematical principles. In English Language Arts (ELA), students will be required to closely read multiple passages and to write essay responses in literary analysis, research tasks and narrative tasks. The assessments will also provide teachers information on student progress to inform instruction and provide targeted student support.

Rigor-Relevance-Relationships
Challenge and expect more Your students need to feel like their brains hurt when leaving your class. Sort of like when you work muscles in the gym and you become sore. Make the work rigorous! | Relevance Why should the students be interested in this lesson/activity or project? Make connections that are relevant to their lives. | Relationships This is being done well @Lumberton. We know that this piece is critical to reaching the diverse and unique population of students we serve. |
