UPDATED TEST DESIGN SUMMARIES

The test design summaries have been updated
to include more information about testing time
and technology enhanced items (TEIs). A
general description of TEIs, the percentage of
each computer-based test comprised of TEIs,
and how TEIs will (or will not) appear on the
paper-based versions of the tests.
3RD GRADE UPDATES
Speaking and Listening
standards will be
assessed when
administered online. An
asterisk has been
placed next to the
standards that will be
assessed.
Reporting Category #3
Integration of Knowledge and
Ideas has decreased % from
25-35% to 20-30%
4TH GRADE UPDATES
Speaking and Listening
standards will be
assessed when
administered online. An
asterisk has been
placed next to the
standards that will be
assessed.
Reporting Category #3
Integration of Knowledge and
Ideas has decreased % from
25-35% to 20-30%
5TH GRADE UPDATES
Speaking and Listening
standards will be
assessed when
administered online. An
asterisk has been
placed next to the
standards that will be
assessed.
Reporting Category #3
Integration of Knowledge and
Ideas has decreased % from
25-35% to 20-30%
INSTRUCTIONAL IMPLICATIONS
 Further
analyze MYA data to examine the full
range of the tested standard
 Use the Item Specifications to determine the
specific task demands of the standards
 Instruct students using ALL of the
instructional resources (FSA Task Cards,
Open Response Questions, etc.)
 Create an Instructional Focus Calendar by
class for DI

TRAINING TESTS (CBT)
•
•
•
The Training tests on the FSA Portal (linked) have been
updated. The sample items are the same but the tests
now have the same “look and feel” that the operational
computer-based tests will have in the spring.
For example, the navigation buttons are in a slightly
different place; the formula button shows which
formulas are available on a given test (if applicable);
students can now skip items and are warned that there
are unanswered items if they try to submit.
Training tests with the text-to-speech accommodation
are still being finalized and will be released in sufficient
time for students to practice prior to the spring
assessments.
FLORIDA ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS FORMATIVE
ASSESSMENT SYSTEM (ELFAS)
•
•
The K-8 ELA Formative Assessments are
now available to all Florida teachers
through Single Sign On (SSO) and can be
accessed through www.fldoe.org/sso
under Resources & Assessments.
The ELFAS is a database of K-8 formative
assessment tasks and professional
development information.
GENERAL FSA TIPS
•
•
•
•
•
•
Share the updated test blueprints with staff with an emphasis
on pages 11 and 12
Provide teachers with samples of each item type in order to
teach students the item types explicitly
Schedule simulation sessions for teachers and students in the
computer lab where students take the FSA training test online
to do the following:
• Familiarize themselves with the navigation buttons
• Questions
• Item types
FSA Test preparation has been embedded in the 3rd quarter
pacing guide for both Reading and Writing
The ELFAS can be used to find standards based activities with
graphic organizers and open response questions for additional
remediation and/or enrichment
Schedule an FSA Parent Informational Night for grades 3-5
FSA WRITING COMPONENT TIPS
•
Conduct targeted Writing mini lessons
•
•
•
•
•
•
Mini lessons are available on our website
Writing conferencing
Peer Editing with checklist
Spend more time on revision and editing
Provide specific corrective feedback to
students during the “draft” process
Build stamina for Writing-Give students 6090 minutes to write to the prompt
independently
FSA READING TIPS
•
•
•
•
•
Conduct “Close Read” of all three selections
from McGraw Hill
Answer open response questions
Provide corrective feedback on the three
open response questions to ensure students
met the standard
Use task cards to create additional
questions related to the instructional focus
standard
Use test taking strategies
Date Entered US Schools (DEUSS)
•
•
•
ALL ELLs must participate in ALL State and District
assessments.
Starting with the 2014-2015 school year, ELLs with a
Date Entered US Schools (DEUSS) less than two years
will NOT count toward school grade.
Office of Civil Rights (OCR) recommends that schools
clearly articulate to parents why this date is collected
and how the information will be used (education
purposes only: e.g., accountability and/or cumulative
enrollment for immigrant).
(DEUSS Briefing # 15131)
SOCIAL SCIENCES- DDEOC’S FOR K-5
To comply with FLS 1008.22(4) which requires that student
progress be assessed in all courses offered in Florida Public
Schools, Social Sciences has updated K-5 Pacing Guides and
Timelines to include the following:
•
•
•
•
DDEOC testing window is from May 11- June 5, 2015.
Benchmarks that are included on the DDEOC Assessments are
highlighted in both the K-5 pacing guides and timelines posted
on http://socialsciences.dadeschools.net.
Best practices in terms of preparing students are to engage in
review activities focusing on content and skills from the
highlighted benchmarks prior to the assessments.
Teachers are encouraged to plan collaboratively in backwards
planning- i.e., work from the start date of the test to ensure
appropriate time is available for review and mastery of DDEOC
assessed benchmarks.
