[quote=Anonymous]I've been teaching since we gave MSA back in the 2000's. When we adopted the Common Core State Standards and had to give PARCC, we found that it was significantly harder than MSA. Of course, the CCCSS are also much more challenging than the old Maryland Voluntary State Curriculum standards that we used until about 2010 or 2011. Having given PARCC and now MCAP, both seem to be the same test with a different name. They are identical in format and the standards that they assess. The challenge is that when we teach, we no longer have time to teach the fundamentals like we did before CCSS. Now, we throw our primary students into complex tasks without a solid foundation. It's like trying to build a house but starting with the roof.[/quote]
