Compared to most previous standardized tests, PARCC and SBAC are more rigorous and require deeper levels of critical thinking. Thus, it is unsurprising that results in many states highlight significant room for improvement in getting students college and career ready. As we meet in April, many states will be gearing up for their second year of PARCC and SBAC. This panel will explore what these new data tell us about student success that we didn’t know with previous assessments. It will also consider the major challenges in implementation and ways that districts can better prepare teachers to meet these new goals.
