Three reasons you should read this PARCC update:
- PARCC Results Releases - as of November 10, 2015 the NJ Department of Education has released state-level results of the PARCC test first given in New Jersey districts last spring. Next should be a release of district scores followed by a release of individual student scores.
- PARCC State-Level Results - the state-level results are towards the end of this recent NJ State Board of Education report about PARCC Results: Year One.
- PARCC Student Results: an Overview - an individual student report of PARCC test scores will look quite different than NJASK student results received in previous years. The presentation above, created by Andrew Zuckerman, director of Instructional Services, is designed for parents, walks them through a sample PARCC student report, and aims to help interpret the new PARCC report format.
