Resources for LEAs

The release of the 2014-15 school year Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) results represents an opportunity to communicate a new baseline for where students stand on their path to success. It is critical that we use this opportunity to effectively communicate with educators and parents about what these scores mean for students and how to interpret the new score reports. Below you will find optional tools that OSSE has developed for you to personalize to communicate with parents and educators.
