Board Retreat Assessment Perspectives
Assessment at its worst
Feels top down and compliance driven
Assesses the wrong information
Does not have valuable information that is actionable
Takes away time from instruction
Assessment at its best
Motivates students using feedback toward competence
Allows educators to challenge assumptions
It allows us to see the scope and sequence of understanding across grade levels- from PK to 12th
Informs instruction

The Top 10 Things Every
Administrator Should Know About PARCC

#10 In 2014-15 NMPARCC will Replace Math, Reading
and Writing NMSBA & High School
Graduation Assessment (HSGA)NMSBA NMPARCC
Mathematics Mathematics
Reading English Language Arts/Literacy (Reading & Writing)
Writing
Science NMSBA will continue to be administered
The PARCC Assessment Design Allows Students to
Demonstrate Mastery of the Full Range of CCSS Skills
The PARCC Assessment Design
English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics, Grade 3-11
#9 The NMPARCC Assessments will be Given in 2 Separate Testing Windows
Tested Areas by Grade Level and Sessions Per Window:
LCPS NMPARCC Test Dates for 2014-15 School Year:
PBA window: March 2 – March 20, 2015
Each student takes 3 sessions of ELAEach student takes 2 sessions of Math
EOY window: April 20 – May 8, 2015
Each student takes 2 sessions of ELAEach student takes 2 sessions of Math
#8 The Average Testing Time
Did NOT Increase On average it will take a student a total of 9 hours to complete NMPARCC, which includes 5 hours of PBA and 4 hours of EOY.
This time is comparable to the time students took to complete previous administrations of the NMSBA in three days.
Keep in mind writing is assessed at every grade on NMPARCC.
#7 All New Mexico Schools Can
Access PARCC Student Sample Questions Online:
#6 NMPARCC Will Include a Variety of Question Types in
Both ELA/Literacy and Math
All constructed response questions will appear on the PBA to allow time for scoring and return of results by the end of the year.
Both PBA and EOY will include multiple choice/selected response questions.
Technology enhanced questions will be manipulated by students using functions such as drag and drop.
#5 NMPARCC Includes Writing for
All Assessed Grade Levels60% of the ELA/Literacy assessment will involve writing.
All passages used in NMPARCC ELA/Literacy are developed from authentic texts.
Students will compose 3 pieces of prose during the PBA session.
#4 NMPARCC Math Questions will Have a Heavy
Emphasis on the Major Work of the Grade
60% of the math questions will focus on the major content of the grade.
40% of the math questions will come from the supporting and additional content standards.
The math practices will be incorporated throughout the majority of the tested content.
#3 PARCC is More Rigorous than NMSBA
MathRigor: In major topics, pursue conceptual understanding, procedural skill and fluency, and application.
ELA/Literature Rigor: Building knowledge through content rich nonfiction; reading, writing and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational.
OK – Let’s Have Some Fun
PARCC – Let’s Have More Fun!
#2 Students will Have Accessibility Features and
Accommodations Support when Taking
NMPARCCUnless a student is identified to take NMAPA/NCSC, all students in grades 3 – H3 will take NMPARCC.
New Mexico has adopted the PARCC Accommodations Manual (PAM).
Refer to PAM and the appendices for a full list of all PARCC student supports.
PARCC is Designed to be Accessible to Students with
Disabilities and English Learners

PARCC Passage Selection Guidelines
http://parcconline.org/sites/parcc/files/Combined%20Passage%20Selection%20Guidelines%20and%20Worksheets_0.pdf
These guidelines should inform the training of
passage finders in order to ensure a pool of acceptable passages that can support assessment of the CCSS for the PARCC summative assessments. These guidelines will also inform form assemblers
as they construct forms that will assess the full continuum of standards.

Assessment Videos
LCPSTV and The Division of Learning, Teaching, and Research have teamed up to provide informational videos on assessments that schools can use to inform students, parents, and the general community on the various assessments
Videos will initially be posted on principals’ webpage
