•Focus
•Coherence
•Rigor
Mathematical PracticesMake sense of problems and persevere in
solving themReason abstractly and quantitativelyConstruct viable arguments and critique
the reasoning of othersModel with mathematicsUse appropriate tools strategicallyAttend to precisionLook for and make use of structureLook for and express regularity in
repeated reasoning
Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC)

Now – 2014:Shift to CCSS and pilot test PARCC Assessments
2014-2015:CCSS and PARCC Assessments
PARCC AssessmentsProvide clear target for K-12
student
System of Assessments in grades 3-HS
Provide feedback for prompt interventions

Feedback OpportunitiesPerformance Level Descriptors (Policy and
Content levels)◦Scores of 4 (solid command) or 5(superior
command) earn CCR determinationPARCC College-Ready Determination Policy
◦A combination of Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II or the Algebra II test alone
◦At least 75% of students who earn CCR will earn C or better in entry-level, credit-bearing course
◦College Algebra, General Math, Intro StatisticsSeptember 27bit.ly/PARCCCRDPLD-OK
Considerations for Higher Education
What is an entry-level, credit-bearing course?
What should be the “default” general education mathematics class?
Are we providing a clear target for high schools?
Are our courses aligned with CCSS?Do we expect explanations or just
computations?How can we serve students who earn a
College and Career Ready score before 12th grade?
