Now that my students have completed their first year of the PARCC (Partnership of Assessment for College and Career Readiness) assessment, I feel like I have a more solid understanding of what the test will look and be like. Because it's constantly evolving, and because my students took the test via paper and pencil rather than by computer, I'm hesitant to base too much of my study on the assessment as I saw it.
However, my study has direct implications for the preparation that my students will receive for the assessment. Interested? PARCC Online has posted some sample questions that correlate directly to my study.Scroll down to sample item 5 and sample item 6 to see some examples.
Right now, I just have essay questions on the pre- and post- assessments, but having seen the test, I'm considering adding some multi-step selected response items. Thoughts?
