Good Morning, Steve!
Went to one of the MA DOE PARCC meetings last night (Tuesday) at the Framingham State Univ. A two hour presentation and Q&A ran to three hours plus. Attendees were interested/concerned parents just trying to learn more about Common Core and PARCC field tests that will be starting this April. Teachers (from K-12), school committee officials and college professors. I would say about two dozen attendees. Ran into some Medway educators and learned about a meeting Medway is holding next week which may be of interest to Franklin parents/educators/school committee members.
In addition below is the link to MA DOE website with listing (below) of future PARCC MA Community Meetings run by Bob Bickerton, Senior Associate Commissioner and/or Maureen LaCroix, Special Assistant to Deputy Commissioner.
I picked up an extra copy of Power Point presentation, if you would like it to provide to readers, it's 12 pages long.
Thank you
Sandra Fredrick
