PARCC
PARCC Educators Page
http://parcconline.org/for-educators INCLUDES SAMPLE QUESTIONS, ITEMS, AND TASKS! "Assessments are a checkup for our schools. The PARCC assessment will provide timely, actionable information for teachers – and because students will take some of the new assessments early in the school year, teachers will be able to identify kids who are falling behind and need extra help. These new assessments will replace outdated and ineffective tests with new tests that measure real world skills that colleges and employers say they value – like critical thinking and problem solving." PARCC Parent Page
http://parcconline.org/for-parents "The PARCC assessment will allow parents to engage in their child’s education. It’s sometimes difficult for parents to measure whether or not their child is learning what they need to know to succeed in the future. The new assessments will provide parents with more information about how their child is progressing in school." Calculator Tips & Tricks

TED Talk: Math Class Needs a Make Over
http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_meyer_math_curriculum_makeover Here's a synopsis: "Today's math curriculum is teaching students to expect — and excel at — paint-by-numbers classwork, robbing kids of a skill more important than solving problems: formulating them. In his talk, Dan Meyer shows classroom-tested math exercises that prompt students to stop and think." (Filmed at TEDxNYED.)

Here's his introduction: "Hi. I’m Dan Meyer. I taught high school math to students who didn’t like high school math. I have advocated for better math instruction here and on CNN, Good Morning America, Everyday With Rachel Ray, and TED.com. I currently study math education at Stanford University, speak internationally, and work with textbook publishers, helping them move from education’s print past to its digital future. I was named one of Tech & Learning’s 30 Leaders of the Future and an Apple Distinguished Educator."
