[quote=Anonymous]It isn’t the same as PARCC, it is a different Common Core test. PARCC was a consortium. When all the states dropped out DC renamed it to CAPE. Now DC is joining the other consortium called Smarter Balanced. It looks like the biggest difference is it is adaptive, and the scoring is 1-4. It isn’t the “end” of CAPE. They’re just switching exams. They call it CAPE 2.0. I don’t know why they didn’t do this 2 years ago when PARCC collapsed. Switching to a DC-specific PARCC exam for two years if they were just going to join the opposing consortium anyway seems like a lot of unnecessary transition. This information was sent to all schools and OSSE and PCSB held meetings this week. Teachers were informed. I’m sure they’ll put it in the next newsletter.[/quote]
