The videos are coming! Are students ready?   New tests tied to the CSS (Common Core Standards) like PARCC (The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for Colleges and Careers) will ask students to watch and make use of videos on the computer in addition to reading passages. In this article, Jamie argues that this shift in the nature of testing deserves attention, robust practice and some novel strategies.

Jamie will lead the group through sample items and equip teachers with strategies to prepare students to perform well. Click here for more information.
