Do you have kids in school? The PARCC test is coming soon.

Starting next year, students from New Jersey and 18 other states will take the PARCC assessment.  PARCC data will play a significant role in determining if students are on grade level and can be promoted and/or graduate.  It’s only a matter of time before teacher salary and/or job security is influenced, if not determined, by the PARCC’s data.
