Dr. Frank Tiano, Superintendent of Schools, made the announcement about Eye on PARCC earlier this week. “We’ve planned Eye on PARCC to give our community a look at the upcoming PARCC assessments, and we are happy that Dr. Landman from the DESE is joining us for this episode,” said Tiano. “With all of the good work happening in our schools, we find that our television shows are an excellent venue to showcase our schools. The upcoming PARCC assessments are no different, deserving of its own show to inform our school community.”

Eye on PARCC is a cable television show produced by the Chelmsford Public Schools in Chelmsford, Massachusetts. The purpose of the show is to prepare the community at large for the change from the MCAS standardized assessment to the PARCC online assessment. The hosts include Executive Director of Technology and Information, Anne-Marie Fiore, Coordinator of English Language Arts, Dr. Linda Hirsch, and Coordinator of Mathematics, Dr. Matthew Beyranevand. The episodes will give parents, students, teachers, and the community a look at the upcoming PARCC assessments.

The second episode of Eye on PARCC will be filmed at the Chelmsford Telemedia (CTM) Studios. It will be a combination of a light-hearted look at learning about PARCC with a game show segment, as well as an interview segment by Superintendent Frank Tiano with Assistant Commissioner Jonathan Landman.
