19. QUESTIONS TO GUIDE PARCC DATA REFLECTION  How will we use PARCC data to identify strengths and gaps that exist in curriculum and instruction?  How will we use PARCC data to inform the conversations of our educators?  What can we learn about where additional professional resources are needed to meet the learning needs of all students?

20. District and School Level Data: Math, ELA, reading and writing, and also by grade levels Disaggregated data, by subgroups Disaggregated data by categories, (i.e., standards sub-claims) Item analysis Student-level analysis YEAR ONE DATA ANALYSIS PLAN: DRILLING DOWN

23. SUMMARY  PARCC 2016 will consist of one testing window instead of two, and the amount of questions are reduced.  The PARCC tests replace the old state tests. They measure how well students are performing against the new state standards that guide math and English language arts instruction.  The PARCC tests are only one of several measures, including report card grades and in-class performance, that are used to determine a student's academic achievement. They do not impact a student’s GPA.  The score reports are a valuable tool for parents and teachers. The report provides a deeper level of information that can be used to better understand where students are doing well and where they need additional support.  The PARCC tests moves away from multiple choice questions to ones that allow students to demonstrate a real understanding of what they know and can do by writing essays, solving real world problems, and reading and analyzing complex text—all critical skills in the real-world.  The students’ scores may look lower this year because the tests measured more complex skills.  A low score does not mean students did not improve or learned less, but instead that the expectations have been raised for students.  The first year’s scores are a new baseline from which to progress from and measure against moving forward.
