[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any how, don't respected tests and curriculums normally get developed in stages at an institution of higher learning that is conducting the research.  Small test samples on test volunteers are done before trying to steam role out a large program.  MCPS is trying to gear up a new program across multiple grades without even ensuring the technology is ready for the role out.  Sure this week was a practice but the practice failed.  Now what is MCPS's plan before the entire student population has to take these tests for real assessments.

First, the PARCC test is not an MCPS test. PARCC is field-testing the tests this spring in 14 states plus DC, with a milllion students.

Second, PARCC has presumably already done small-scale testing. Now PARCC is doing large-scale testing.

Third, how do you make sure that the technology is ready for the roll-out? You test it. Which PARCC is doing. Which you are complaining about.
