More About the Ohio 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.
Ohio Commitment to Higher Standards Ohio has been actively engaged in the American Diploma Project Network, aligning its standards and graduation requirements to the expectations of postsecondary education and employers. The Ohio State Board of Education adopted the Common Core State Standards in mathematics and English language arts/literacy in June 2010. In August 2010, Ohio 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 Participating State in the spring of 2010 and helped shape PARCC’s proposal for a common, next-generation assessment system. It became a PARCC Governing State in November 2011. 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 Ohio’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. Ohio’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 Ohio, we’re ensuring that our students succeed.
