Florida Standards Alternate Assessment (FSAA) Kathleen Sierra, Supervisor 64

65 Assessment Participation Checklist Who should be assessed with the FSAA? § Individual IEP teams are responsible for determining whether students with disabilities will be assessed through administration of the general statewide standardize assessments or instructed in access points and assessed via the FSAA § IEP teams will use the Assessment Participation Checklist to make this determination Checklist available on page 3 of the Assessment Planning Resource Guide for IEP Teams

FSAA Performance Task Datafolio

67 FSAA Performance Task vs. Datafolio § How a student will participate in the statewide alternate assessment program is an IEP team decision that must be documented on the IEP. § Use the Assessment Planning Resource Guide for IEP Teams, located on the FSAA Portal, to help in the decisionmaking process. § An IEP that indicates "FSAA" would only need to be changed if the decision is that the Datafolio is the most appropriate method to assess the student.

68 2018 -2019 FSAA-Performance Task Overview § Administered to each student individually by the student’s teacher, a certified teacher, or other licensed professional who has worked extensively with the student and is trained in the assessment procedures § Designed to show student mastery of Florida Standards Access Points and Next Generation Sunshine State Access Points § Students typically select an answer to a question from three response options represented by pictures, text, numbers, and/or symbols § Students use their primary mode of communication § Responses are recorded in the test booklet and then later transcribed into the online test platform.

69 2018 -2019 FSAA-Datafolio Overview § For students with the most significant cognitive disabilities who typically do not have a formal mode of communication and are working at pre-academic levels § Designed to show student progress on a continuum of access toward academic content rather than mastery of academic content § For students being assessed via Datafolio, teachers submit student work samples across three collection periods throughout the school year § Samples are teacher-developed from typical classroom activities/tasks that are aligned to Access Point Standards § Student evidence from all three collection periods is submitted by the teacher via an online system and independently scored to determine the student’s progress

95 Updating EOC Final Course Grades § Florida Statute 1008. 22 requires that students enrolled in specified courses take an EOC assessment for the course and the EOC results must constitute 30 percent of the students’ final course grades § FSA/NGSSS and FSAA (see Weekly Briefing #23735) NEW § The courses included are: Algebra 1, Biology 1, Civics, Geometry and U. S. History. § In the spring administration of each school year, students enrolled in eligible EOC courses for the first time have the 30 percent automatically included in the final course grade computation. § Final course grades for students who do not test or students whose tests are invalidated are reported as No Grade (NG). § These students must participate in the next EOC administration to earn an EOC score so that the 30% can be applied to the final course grade. § For the fall, winter, and summer administrations, school staff must apply the 30% calculation using the EOC chart found in Weekly Briefing #23522, and update the students’ final course grades in DSIS, including: § Any student who has an “NG” in an EOC eligible courses. § Any first time EOC test takers in the fall, winter, or summer. § Schools should use the traditional grade change protocol to update the final course grade.

96 FLEID § The Florida Education Identifier (FLEID) is a code issued by the FDOE to uniquely identify a person in Florida’s education data system. § The FLEID always begins with FL followed by a 12 numeric digit. § FLEID replaced the Florida ID number that consisted of either a student’s social security number with an X or a 10 -digit district number (130 XXXXXXX). § The use of the FLEID is required for testing. Students who do not have an FLEID will not be able to test. § The FLEID number can be accessed from File Download Manager (FDM) and it is also available in DSIS under PF 3 (Student Information) and PF 20 (Miscellaneous Information). § New students to Florida will not have a FLEID. ITS will upload FLEIDs on a weekly basis. § Check for FLEIDs on Mondays from prior week. § Important: If you receive a duplicate student message in TIDE or Pearson. Access: § Check to ensure you’ve typed the name and FLEID correctly. § Contact our office for guidance.

School Grades Formula Gisela Feild Administrative Director Assessment, Research, and Data Analysis 121

School Accountability Model • The grade is based on the percentage of total points earned, and combination schools are graded based only on the components for which they have sufficient data (Learning Gains were included beginning in 2015 -2016). • Provisions that may raise or lower a school’s grade beyond what the percentage of points would indicate are eliminated (no additional requirements; no additional weights/bonus; no automatic adjustments). • Writing is included within the English language arts components. English Language Arts Mathematics Science Social Studies Achievement (0% to 100%) Learning Gains (0% to 100%) Blank Learning Gains of the Low 25% (0% to 100%) Blank Graduation Rate Acceleration Success Overall, 4 -year Graduation Rate (0% to 100%) Lagged High School (AP, IB, AICE, dual enrollment or industry certification) (0% to 100%) Lagged Middle School (EOCs or industry certifications) (0% to 100%) IC Lagged 122

126 FSA, FCAT 2. 0, EOC Caveon Data Forensics • The FLDOE has contracted with Caveon Test Security to provide its Caveon Data Forensics™ for all statewide assessments. • Caveon will analyze data to identify highly unusual test results for two primary groups: • Students with extremely similar test responses; and • Schools with improbable levels of similarity, gains and/or erasures. • Flagging only the most extreme results.

127 Caveon Goals and Scope § Ensure fairness of all results reported. § Maintain confidence in students achieving scores independently. § Make sure no widespread impropriety goes unchecked. § Provide two types of analysis: student-level and school-level. § Analyze ALL K-12 Assessments (FSA and NGSSS) excluding ELLs and FLKRS. § Beginning in Spring 2019, FLDOE Inspector General will make site visits.

128 Individual Student Appeals Do’s and Don’ts Do : Include any and all relevant information. For example, when vouching for a student’s academic record, include ALL students’ academic history, not just for the one student you are appealing. Don’t : Appeal for all students in a group when the investigation found no cause for the anomaly. The exception to this is if the parent requests an appeal. Do : Call SAET if you have any questions or concerns about an appeal investigation.
