Illinois Learning Standards incorporating the Common Core State Standards (CCSS-M) — Illinois
IAR is Illinois’ state assessment built on the Illinois Learning Standards incorporating the Common Core, and its math design follows the PARCC-style blueprinting approach used for grades 3–8. ISBE’s resources page points to the PARCC mathematics model content frameworks, and the IAR page says the math evidence statements are aligned directly to the Common Core State Standards.
IAR uses the PARCC-derived / Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) framework (by grade domains structure).
