Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers
http://www.parcconline.org/K12-educators
In anticipation of the Common Core State Standards, the
Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers
(PARCC) seeks math teachers to
-
provide feedback on content frameworks
-
provide feedback on sample instructional units
-
pilot sample instructional units
-
pilot sample additional assessment tasks
-
participate in leadership cadres
PARCC is a 25-state consortium developing a common set of K-12
assessments in math and English "anchored in what it takes to
be ready for college and careers." These new K-12 assessments
will build a pathway to college and career readiness by the end of
high school, mark students' progress toward this goal from 3rd
grade up, and give teachers timely instructional support.
