In English, the PARCC tests will take a deeper look at student writing abilities and critical thinking skills.
PARCC Math Tests
For the PARCC math tests, students will have to solve complex problems, show their work and demonstrate how they solved the problems. Tomorrow in the final part of our PARCC series, learn about new English assessments.
PARCC Test Score Results
After students complete the new PARCC test trial run in the spring of 2014, the test results will not be released to students or parents. In fact the results will not count toward state or federal school district grades. Apparently the test results will only be used by state officials when they vote in the fall of 2015 on whether to adopt the new PARCC tests permanently.
Tune in tomorrow to find out how the tests will be given out.
Stop Procrastinating
What is not started will never get finished.
Solitary Intrapersonal Learners
Solitary (intrapersonal) learners prefer to work alone and use self-study. A solitary learner tends to be more private, introspective and independent. They like to work on problems by retreating to somewhere quiet and working through possible solutions on their own.
Social Interpersonal Learners
Social (interpersonal) learners prefer to learn in groups or with other people. They like social activities rather than doing their own thing. They typically like team sports.
Logical Learners
Logical learners think mathematically. These students prefer using logic, reasoning and systems. Logical learners recognize patterns easily, as well as connections between seemingly meaningless content. This also leads them to classify and group information to help learn or understand it. They typically work through problems and issues in a systematic way. This is done by creating to-do lists and ranks them in order before putting them into action. Their scientific approach to thinking means they support their claims with logical examples or statistics. They pick up logic flaws in other peoples words, writing or actions. They also tend to enjoy games like brainteasers, backgammon and chess.
Verbal Linguistic Learners
Verbal (linguistic) learners prefer both the written and spoken word. They depend on language reasoning rather than abstract visual information. For example in math they find word problems easier than algebra equations.
Students that use this style find it easy to express themselves both in writing and verbally. They tend to enjoy reading and writing. They also tend to know the meaning of many words and regularly make an effort to find the meaning of new words.
Auditory Learners
Auditory learners process and learn by what they hear. These students tend to recite spelling words and study facts orally. An auditory learner likes to work with sound and music. They typically can sing, play a musical instrument, or identify the sounds of different instruments.
Physical Kinesthetic Learners
Physical (kinesthetic) learners like to touch, feel and use their hands. They learn best by what they do and experience. They prefer hands on projects.
Students with the physical learning style are likely to use the body and sense of touch to learn about the world around them. It is likely that they enjoy sports, exercise, and other physical activities such as working with their hands. They are more sensitive to the physical world around them and notice textures in clothes or furniture. Physical learners tend to like getting their hands dirty. They would prefer to pull an engine apart and put it back together rather than reading or looking at diagrams about how it works.
