More About the Maryland PARCC Assessment (Common Core) Tests
About the PARCC The Partnership for
Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) is a group of states
working together to develop a set of assessments that measure whether students
are on track to be successful in college and their careers. These high quality,
computer-based K–12 assessments in Mathematics and English Language
Arts/Literacy give teachers, schools, students, and parents better information
whether students are on track in their learning and for success after high
school, and tools to help teachers customize learning to meet student needs.
Maryland Commitment to Higher Standards Maryland has been active in the American Diploma Project Network since 2005, aligning its standards with expectations of postsecondary education and employers. In August 2010, Maryland became one of twelve states to win the Race to the Top competition. The state adopted the Common Core State Standards in May 2010, and became a Governing State in the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers in the spring of 2010. Leaders from Maryland’s K-12 and higher education communities were engaged in the development of PARCC’s proposal for common, next-generation assessments. Postsecondary Commitment to College and Career Readiness The PARCC assessment measures real world skills that colleges value, like critical thinking and problem solving. That’s why all of Maryland’s public two- and four-year colleges and universities have committed to participate in PARCC. They helped develop the assessments to ensure that it measures college readiness. Maryland’s college and universities will use those assessments as one of the indicators of a student’s readiness for entry-level, credit-bearing college courses – and because these institutions educate every freshman entering public colleges and universities in Maryland, we’re ensuring that our students succeed.
