PARCC Field Test Goes Online as Exam Moves Closer to Full Development
Kudos and controversies aside, New Jersey is about to undergo a sea change in the way it evaluates students, schools, and teachers.
PARCC is finally here — or at least pretty close.
Starting on Monday, more than 1,200 schools across New Jersey will start field-testing the new online state exams that are part of the 17-state Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Career (PARCC).
The testing is a change in the way New Jersey assesses how its public schools are performing and students are learning, fully aligned with the national Common Core State Standard.
For the first time, the tests will be administered entirely online. (Mooney/NJSpotlight)
Is Ridgewood a part of the test? If so, what grades?
Aligned to Common Core Standards.
Good grief.
This is not steps forward but steps backwards.
NJ should have opt out of CCS as New York State did.
Ridgewood has a “tradition” of academic excellence.
There is no need to actually HAVE academic excellence anymore.
