– Content focus may change
– “Cut scores” and level of difficulty will
remain the same
– Omit content that will be discontinued,
emphasize existing content that aligns
with CCSS
– New CCSS content will not be added
until 2014-15

•
New US History EOC
•
No change in other social
studies and science
assessments (still under
consideration)

2014-15 PARCC Assessment Plan
• PARCC will develop an assessment system composed of
four components. Each component will be computerdelivered and will leverage technology to incorporate
innovations.
– Two summative assessment components designed to
•
•
•
Make “college- and career-readiness” and “on-track” determinations
Measure the full range of standards and full performance continuum
Provide data for accountability uses, including measures of growth
– Two formative assessment components designed to
•
•
Generate timely information for informing instruction, interventions, and
professional development during the school year
In ELA/literacy, an additional third formative component will assess
students’ speaking and listening skills
Louisiana Department of Education
12
2014-15 PARCC Assessment Plan
• Summative Assessment Components:
– Performance-Based Assessment (PBA)
administered as close to the end of the school year as
possible.
• ELA/literacy PBA focus - writing effectively when analyzing text
• Mathematics PBA focus - applying skills, concepts, and
understandings to solve multi-step problems requiring abstract
reasoning, precision, perseverance, and strategic use of tools
– End-of-Year Assessment (EOY) administered after
approx. 90% of the school year.
• ELA/literacy EOY focus - reading comprehension
• Math EOY - composed of innovative, machine-scorable items
Louisiana Department of Education
13
2014-15 PARCC Assessment Plan
• Formative Assessment Components:
– Early Assessment
• indicator of student knowledge and skills
• allows instruction, supports, and professional development to be
tailored to meet student needs
– Mid-Year Assessment
• performance-based items and tasks
• emphasis on hard-to-measure standards

What is a Content Standards Crosswalk?
• An alignment study to analyze the degree of match or
overlap between two sets of standards
• LDOE contracted with WestEd to create an alignment
study between CCSS and Louisiana’s GLEs
– ELA and Math
– Each grade level
– Serves as the official crosswalk for determining transitional
curriculum and blueprints for transitional assessments
– Not Included: ELA Literacy Standards for History/Social Studies,
Science, and Technical Subjects
• Terminology is based on CCSS for each content area
• Formats are similar
Louisiana Department of Education
21
Criteria for a Match
A GLE was considered a match to a CCSS if it met one or
more of the following criteria:
– GLE reflects the same concepts and skills embodied in the CCSS
– Central idea and/or intended complexity of the GLE is consistent
with the central idea and/or intended complexity of the CCSS
– GLE addresses the intended content of the CCSS at a
fundamental level.
• Important: A GLE does not need to address all the skills
embodied by the CCSS to be considered a match.
• West Ed identified the strongest GLE to CCSS match(es)
at each grade.

How to Read Crosswalk Document
• Locate the following documents
– How to Read ELA Crosswalk Document
– How to Read Math Crosswalk Document
• Each contains three pages
– Page 1: Guidelines for determining a content match and
information on format of crosswalks
– Page 2: Example of Version A, the CCSS-to-GLE alignments
– Page 3: Example of Version B, the GLE-to-CCSS alignments
• Follow along with either the ELA or math document

Crosswalks are in EXCEL Format
There are two versions of the
crosswalks for each grade, each
under a separate tab in the EXCEL
file (see graphic).
•
•
Version A starts with the CCSS
and identifies the GLE or GLEs
that best match the content of the
CCSS.
Version B starts with the GLE and
identifies the CCSS that best
matches the GLE.
The tabs labeled MathVersA-All and MathVersB-All contain the math
alignments for all grades on a single worksheet.
In the ELA crosswalk, the tabs are labeled ELAVersA-All and ELAVersB-All.

Grade-Level Content Comparison Reports
• Locate the following documents
– How to Read ELA Grade-Level Content Comparison Report
– How to Read Math Grade-Level Content Comparison Report
• Purpose
– to illustrate how the CCSS and Louisiana’s GLEs align by grade
– to provide teachers a “road map” of how to implement the CCSS
over time
• One report per grade level per content area
– Example: There is a Grade 4 report for math and a separate
Grade 4 report for ELA.
Louisiana Department of Education
33
Grade-Level Content Comparison Reports
• Developed from Crosswalk Documents
– Chart 1: Content to be Added to Grade or Course: CCSS in
stated grade did not match a GLE in stated grade
• Designates year in which new CCSS is to be implemented in
transitional curriculum
– Chart 2: Content to be Deleted from a Grade or Course: GLE
in stated grade did not match a CCSS in stated grade
– Chart 3: Content Remains the Same in a Grade or Course: a
match (as defined earlier) existed between a CCSS and a GLE
in the same grade
• In high school math, Louisiana course standards were
matched with CCSS Achieve Traditional Pathway
Courses (CCSS Math Appendix CCSS).

Comparison Documents
Louisiana Department of Education
43
Uses of Crosswalk Documents
• Crosswalk Documents
– Used by state to develop Grade-Level Content Comparison
Reports
– Possible uses by districts
• Understand how content of a CCSS differs from a matched GLE
• Determine shifts in content (how much sooner/later is a content/skill
to be mastered in CCSS)
Louisiana Department of Education
44
Uses of Crosswalk Documents
• Grade-Level Content Comparisons
– Used by state to
• Determine GLEs that should be retained in a grade during the
transitional years to prevent potential curricular gaps
• Determine assessable GLEs and create blueprints for transitional
assessments
• Create transitional curriculum
– Identify activities modified/added to address a CCSS
– Identify activities that will be implemented in 2013-14
– Possible uses by districts
• Make teachers aware of content changes beginning in 2012-13
• Revise locally-developed curriculum for the transitional years
• Determine content in which students may have difficulty during
transition; consider ways to introduce some new CCSS in current
school year
• Determine instructional materials needed to successfully implement
new content during transitional years
