The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) is a group of states working together to develop a set of assessments that measure whether students are on track to be successful in college and their careers. These high-quality, computer-based K-12 assessments in mathematics and English language arts/literacy (ELA/L) give schools, teachers, students, and parents better information on whether students are on track in their learning and for success after high school, and tools to help teachers customize learning to meet student needs. The first full administration of the PARCC assessments occurred during the 2014-2015 school year. Developed by PARCC states, the sixth edition of the "PARCC Accessibility Features and Accommodations Manual" is a comprehensive policy document that provides guidance to districts and decision-making teams to ensure that the PARCC summative assessments provide valid results for all participating students. It has been created to ensure that: (1) Participation in the assessments is consistent across PARCC states for students with disabilities and English learners (EL); (2) Appropriate tools are used by students to address their individual learning needs, and that accommodations are provided to eligible students (including students with disabilities, ELs, and ELs with disabilities); and (3) Accessibility features and accommodations used on PARCC assessments are generally consistent with those used in daily instruction. [The contents of the "PARCC Accessibility Features and Accommodations Manual (First Edition)" were developed under a grant from the U.S. Department of Education. The manual was based on "Accommodations Manual: How to Select, Administer, and Evaluate the Use of Accommodations for Instruction and Assessment of Students with Disabilities" written by Carver Christiansen, J. VaDeZande, and S. Lazarus. This work was sponsored by the Assessing Special Education Students State Collaborative on Assessment and Student Standards through the Council of Chief State School Officers.
