More About the New York 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.
New York Commitment to Higher Standards The New York State Board of Regents adopted the Common Core State Standards in mathematics and English language arts/literacy in July 2010. In January 2011, the Board of Regents approved the recommended additions to the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts/Literacy and mathematics, plus a new set of Prekindergarten standards. In August 2010, New York became one of twelve states to win the Race to the Top competition. The state joined the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers as a Governing State in the spring of 2010 and actively helped shape PARCC’s proposal for a common, next-generation assessment system. 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 New York’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. New York’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 New York, we’re ensuring that our students succeed.
