The Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) will be hosting a webinar with 2012 National Teacher of the Year, Rebecca Mieliwocki, on the recently released Partnership for Readiness for College and Career (PARCC) and Smarter Balanced sample assessment items in English language arts. Ms. Mieliwocki, a seventh grade English teacher, will offer her reactions and guidance to fellow teachers on what the new assessment items can illustrate about the Common Core State Standards and accompanying assessments that their students will be experiencing soon. After discussing select sample assessment items from PARCC and Smarter Balanced, Ms. Mieliwocki will offer suggestions for teachers on how they individually and in collaborative conversations with their peers can reflect on implications for their teaching practice and for state education agency staff regarding their role in supporting educators to have these rich discussions.
The webinar will be held on Friday, November 9 from 2:00-3:00 p.m. ET. To register, please visit https://ccsso.webex.com/ccsso/onstage/g.php?t=a&d=719177081. An analogous webinar focused on mathematics will also occur at a later date.
