Preparing for the PARCC assessments
In an effort to assess the CCSS and progress this year the math vertical team worked with grade level teams to create a PARCC like benchmark. This discussion came after months of looking at the Achieve the Core website and the PARCC websites. The assessments were given on the same day and then were scored by cross grade levels. Reflection on the assessment included student achievement, the quality of the questions, and next steps to better prepare students for the standardized assessment.
The assessments and reflection were posted on Google Docs for teachers to review.

CCSS
Through professional development Fountaindale moved away from the use of the MCCSC Frameworks and focused only on the Common Core State Standards, practices, standards, and capacities. The resources provided by the PARCC website and Achieve the Core websites provided information and insight into how pedagogy needed to change in an effort to provide opportunities for the Fountaindale students to be successful and College and Career Ready.
