PARCC Releases Test Items for Teachers

PARCC has recently released test items which are available on the Partnership Resource Center website.  Educators have access to not only newly-released PARCC test items, but also K-2 formative tasks, speaking and listening tools, and professional learning modules for teachers.  Future resources include the ability for teachers to create their own on-line Test Builder for classroom assessments as well as access to diagnostic assessments.

There are three important areas of the website for teachers:

1:   The Guide to PARCC Released Items is a helpful document to read before accessing the released items.  Please click on each hyperlink to access:
