Sycamore GEAR invites you to a special presentation:
“PARCC Testing and the Gifted Student: A Look into the Future”
By Kristen Rojas, Educational Consultant for Hamilton County ESC
Date: Friday, January 9, 2015 at 9.45 am
Place: The Multipurpose Room at Symmes Elementary School,

Testing can be stressful for both students and teachers, especially when it’s done in a new format. The new PARCC and AIR Assessments use technology-enhanced items that will look very different to students, and require students to “construct” vs. “select" their response. This presentation will provide an overview to question type and level of rigor on the new assessments. Participants will have the opportunity to review PARCC & AIR sample items in terms of curricular content application, depth of knowledge alignment, and technology skill requirements. Participants will have a greater understanding of the challenge that is facing our students as they undertake the new assessments.
