The two multistate organizations tasked with developing math and ELA assessment systems to support the Common Core, Smarter Balanced and the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC), have been hard at work over the past several months. To help keep interested parties updated on their activities, Smarter Balanced has launched a monthly eNewsletter, Smarter News.
Smarter News will provide updates on the development of the assessment system and activities in member states. The maiden edition includes information on new Common Core State Standards tools and resources, support for classroom teachers, and technology readiness-along with recent articles and announcements from Smarter Balanced. You can register to receive future editions of Smarter News by visiting http://www.smarterbalanced.org/stay-connected/
PARCC has been publishing monthly newsletters since September, called the PARCC Place Newsletter. The newsletter includes updates on PARCC’s major areas of work, resources, and meetings, as well as contributions from educators across PARCC states sharing their experiences implementing the Common Core. Past issues of the newsletter can be found on the PARCC website, and you can sign up to receive future editions at http://www.parcconline.org/parcc-place-newsletter
