PARCC Item and Task Prototypes
Go to PARCC Online (http://www.parcconline.org/) to view PARCC Item and Task Prototypes. This will help you see the transition to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and the PARCC assessments. The online prototypes are designed "to shine a light on important elements of the CCSS and to show how critical content in the standards may be manifested on PARCC's next-generation, technology-based assessments."
