Good news! You can review OSSE’s requests for one-year waivers for PARCC testing HERE and provide comment via email to osse.assessment@dc.gov by April 2, 2021.
It’s worth noting in the Statewide Assessment Waiver Request, OSSE proposes to:
“Collect and share information transparently with the public on local interim assessments as well as a spectrum of previously and newly collected data on student outcomes and experiences in lieu of statewide assessments.”
Let’s hold OSSE to this, especially as our schools need this data to develop robust plans to support students over Summer and Fall, 2021. Our schools need analytic support – we’re hoping OSSE will deliver this.
Thanks again to everyone who supported our petition to cancel PARCC this year.
