PARCC

The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) is a consortium that includes the Department of Defense Educational Activity and the Bureau of Indian Education. Consortium members work to create and deploy a standard set of K–12 assessments in Mathematics and English,[1] based on the Common Core State Standards.

The PARCC consortium was awarded Race to the Top assessment funds in September 2010 by the U.S. Department of Education to help in the development of the K–12 assessments. PARCC has included educators in the development of its assessments and will consult with more than 200 postsecondary educators and administrators in the development of the assessments.
