PARCC Model Content Frameworks

Sample Common Core ELA questions

The sample questions presented within this post are designed to demonstrate the instructional shifts demanded by the Common Core. These sample questions provide a model to become excellent teaching tools for students, teachers and parents.  Understand that these are not affiliated with the PARCC assessments, but were created by the New York State Board of Education.  New York has been rather proactive with their educational design towards the Common Core. 

For grades third through sixth twelve questions were created for Common Core content areas. These questions include multiple choice, short constructed response, and extended constructed response. The assessment design was created to illuminate the way the Common Core should drive instruction and how students will be assessed in the near future.
