A group of Massachusetts teachers told the Board of
Elementary and Secondary Education Tuesday that the Assessment of Readiness for
College and Careers (PARCC) test outperforms the MCAS test, and they
recommended the board adopt the new test statewide.
Twenty-three teachers who are participating in the
Teach Plus Massachusetts Policy Fellowship presented a report to the board that
included feedback from 351 classroom teachers in 74 school districts who looked
at the PARCC test. Teach Plus is a national non-profit focused on policy.
