There are currently 20 states involved in the PARCC consortium and a combination of educational leaders from those states along with test developers are working together to create the new computer based English Language Arts and Math assessments.

They will consist of: Optional diagnostic assessment Mid year assessment Performance based assessment End-of-year assessment Speaking and listening component assessment How is this Lumos tedBook(tm) aligned to PARCC Guidelines?
