Vi har tidigare berättat om mångmiljardsatsningen i USA att utveckla nya prov- och bedömningssystem i engelska och matematik kopplade till de nya kursplanerna Common core state standards. Ett av de två konsortier som fått uppdraget, PARCC, har tagit fram ett nytt förslag till det ramverk som skall ligga till grund för det nya utvärderingssystemet.

PARCC is an alliance of states working together to develop common assessments serving nearly 25 million students. PARCC's work is funded through a four-year, $185H million dollar grant from the U.S. Department of Education. Partners include about 750 higher education institutions and systems representing hundreds of campuses across the country that will help develop the high school component of the new assessment and then put it to good use as an indicator of student readiness. PARCC is led by its member states and managed by Achieve, a nonprofit group with a 15-year track record of working with states to improve student achievement by aligning K-12 education policies with the expectations of employers and the postsecondary community. PARCC's ultimate goal is to make sure all students graduate from high school college- and career-ready. For more information, visit www.parcconline.org.
