Preparing Students for the Research Simulation Tasks

Participants will learn how to construct and implement PARCC-aligned Research Simulation Tasks (RSTs) in their classrooms, gaining strategies and resources to help students effectively analyze, synthesize, and respond to multiple informational texts and multimedia at developmentally appropriate levels.

PARCC’s Research Simulation Tasks require students to analyze and synthesize three pieces of informational text and multimedia and construct a comprehensive piece of literature. This arduous task is challenging and significantly novel for students. This workshop provides a framework that instructors can employ to assure students’ success on the RST. Instructors will learn how to construct RSTs in their classroom and will receive numerous resources that they can use throughout the school year. Districts and schools can select from a variety of grade-level configurations and workshop materials and activities will be selected to address students’ developmental levels.
