| Abstract | The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) is a consortia of states that is developing a next-generation assessment system in English and math anchored in what it takes to be ready for college and careers. To accomplish this goal the consortia must determine whether individual students are college and career-ready, or are on track. A direct empirical relationship between PARCC assessment scores and subsequent success in college and career training provides the strongest form of evidence. This paper reviews many criteria that can be used to gauge college and career success but argues that student academic performance (e.g., grades, GPA) in credit bearing courses is the most relevant and available criteria for defining success. The paper describes a general validation approach and the required evidence to conduct predictive studies between PARCC secondary assessments postsecondary success. The progression and coherence of PLDs should be based on empirical data from the statistical links between high school assessments and college and career outcomes, as well as, educators' judgments from content-based standard setting approaches. The paper provides examples of PLDs based on statistical data and postsecondary outcomes, and nine major recommendations for establishing a validity argument for consortia assessments. (ERIC). |
