Subject: [aaslforum] PARCC assessments

If your state is a member of PARCC for Common Core, they just released thier sample items for assessment. I hope I figured out the right pages, but here is the link to the page the sample items seem to be on by grade level:

http://www.parcconline.org/samples/item-task-prototypes

Then, there is an interesting statement about research projects:

http://www.parcconline.org/mcf/english-language-artsliteracy/research-project-6

And, of course there is the emphasis on non-fiction reading

Every district seems to be talking about all this.

Is anyone out there doing workshops for teacher librarians?
