A Network Connecting School Leaders From Around The Globe
Critics might view the latest snafu as yet another nail in the coffin for PARCC exams. A significant restructuring of the PARCC testing system was announced last November, after an Education Commission of the States analysis showed that only six states and the District of Columbia planned to use the consortium's exams this school year. That brought the number of states using PARCC down from 11 last year.
Notably, a rejection of the exam by Massachusetts was largely read as symbolic, since the state "is widely seen as kind of the gold standard in successful education reform," according to Morgan Polikoff, assistant professor of education at the University of Southern California.
