PARCC MODEL CONTENT FRAMEWORKS for ELA and Mathematics As part of its proposal to the U.S. Department of Education, the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) committed to developing model content frameworks for mathematics and English language arts/literacy (ELA/literacy) to serve as a bridge between the Common Core State Standards and the PARCC assessments. PARCC developed the Model Content Frameworks to help: • •

PARCC Test Item Samples http://www.parcconline.org/classroom WHAT THE ITEMS CAN LOOK LIKE FOR YOUR OWN ASSESSMENTS ************************************************************************************* Computer-‐Based Assessment: "Intermediate Constraint" Questions and Tasks for Technology Platforms Kathleen Scalise, University of Oregon, June 2009 This website introduces a taxonomy or categorization of 28 innovative item types useful in computer-‐ based assessment. The taxonomy describes "intermediate constraint" items. These item types have responses that fall somewhere between fully constrained responses (i.e., the conventional multiple-‐ choice question) and fully constructed responses (i.e., the traditional essay). Click on each cell of the table to see the example and download source. The intended purpose of the taxonomy is to provide a practical resource for assessment developers as well as a useful framework for the discussion of innovative assessment formats and uses in computer-‐based settings.* http://pages.uoregon.edu/kscalise/taxonomy/taxonomy.html HOW TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE CHECKING FOR LEARNING AND USING FORMATIVE INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICES EVERYDAY ************************************************************************************* FIP MODULES Online Learning Through Race to the Top, all Ohio educators have access to free, interactive online learning modules and facilitation materials that are designed to encourage independent and collaborative learning around formative instructional practices. http://portal.battelleforkids.org/Ohio/Race_to_the_Top/FIPYourSchoolOhio/Online_learning.html?sflan g=en
