What You Need to Know About FSA • The online FSA Portal is the starting place for
all FSA programs, resources, and information. • Information previously published on the FDOE
website will now be available on the portal. • You can register for email alerts and be notified
when new announcements or resources are posted. • Users will access TIDE, TDS, and ORS through
the portal. • www.FSAssessments.org
10
FSA Administration • Response files are not saved locally. If there is a disruption in
connectivity during testing, the student will be prevented from continuing to test until the issue is resolved. • FSA Grades 7-8 Mathematics and all FSA EOC
Mathematics will have a scientific calculator provided in the test delivery system for certain sessions. • CBT Accommodations can be set for students through an
upload OR by the test administrator prior to testing.
• Test administrators must have a computer or mobile device for test management before and during testing.
• Headphones/Earbuds are required for all students for Grades 5-11 ELA listening items (CBT). 11
FSA Preparation • Training tests are available for students to become familiar with
the CBT platform and item types.
• Training tests are available by grade band, not grade level. Answer keys and a user guide are available on the portal.
• Training tests with CBT accommodations will be available in the fall when the secure browser is available for download.
• Grade-level/subject-specific practice tests will be available in Fall 2015.
• Students will be able to skip items on live tests and detailed instructions will be provided in administration scripts.
• Paper-based Sample Test Materials for grades 3 and 4, including large print and braille (all grades), are being developed. 12
TIDE
• PreID upload • Add/Edit/Delete Students • Print PreID labels • Assign Accommodations • Invalidate CBT tests • Check Answer Document Tracking Reports
13
Test Delivery System (TDS) • Create Test Sessions ▫ Created by test administrator right before testing ▫ Session information is posted for students in the room so
they may log in • Student Login/Testing • Approve Students ▫ Once students log in, the test administrator must approve
them in TDS before they can access the test • Pause Students ▫ Test administrators may pause student tests for a break,
etc.

Additional Notes for Mathematics Assessments • Students in grades 7-8 and those taking Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and
Geometry EOC Assessments will be permitted to use the calculator provided within the assessment platform for certain items. • Handheld scientific calculators may be provided to ALL
students during the calculator-allowed session(s) only. ▫ Calculators will not be permitted for session 1 but will be permitted
for sessions 2 and 3 for Grade 7 and 8 mathematics assessments. • The scientific calculator will appear in the FSA EOC training tests
when they are updated and released this month (the calculator in the currently posted EOC training tests has a graphing tool and a regression tool that will no longer be available after the update). • The draft Mathematics Policy document that is posted to the FSA
Portal will be updated this month to reflect this information. • Practice calculators are available on the FSA Portal at
www.FSAssessments.org. 18
Accommodations for Testing • Beginning with Winter 2014, One-Item-Per-Page (PBT and
CBT) and Large Print (CBT) are no longer “unique accommodations.”
• Student eligibility for ALL paper-based accommodations must be confirmed at the district level and submitted to FDOE.
• Remember: paper-based accommodations should only be provided for CBT tests if students CANNOT access assessments on the computer.
• CBT accommodations include: Text to Speech (same as Screen Reader currently used with TestHear) and Masking (new).
• NEW FSA ELA Read-aloud accommodations 19

v Alignment with the Florida Standards and Next Generation Sunshine State Standards and District’s pacing guides
v Data analysis and disaggregation, score reports, and item analysis are available in Thinkgate
Interim Assessment Program
v To monitor student progress on the statewide standardized assessments: v Florida Standards (FS): Reading, Mathematics v Next Generation Sunshine State Standards: Science and
Social Studies v To provide teachers with classroom assessment tools that will
provide reliable student-level benchmark information to inform instruction
v To provide students with information on their progress on specific benchmarks
v To provide schools with a reliable and valid assessment tool for state progress reporting.
Purpose of the Interim Assessment Program
Interim Assessment Forms • New Fall and Winter Interim Assessments have
been developed to address the new Florida Standards for the following: ▫ Reading, Grades 3 – 11 ▫ Mathematics, Grades 3 – 8 ▫ Algebra 1 ▫ Algebra 2, ▫ Geometry • US History and Civics assessments have been
revised • Science, Grades 5 and 8, and Biology

Performance Levels • During the baseline administration of new Interim
Assessments, default performance levels will be used:
▫ 70% for proficiency
▫ 69% and below for non-proficiency
• In subsequent years performance levels are calculated based on predictive study using students’ FCAT 2.0 or FSA results:
▫ Satisfactory Progress
▫ Limited Progress
▫ Insufficient Progress

Comprehensive English Language Learning Assessment (CELLA) v CELLA is a four-skill English language assessment
measuring student proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
v Students in grades 1 – 12 are administered the • Listening, Reading, and Writing sections in groups • Speaking on a one-on-one basis
v Kindergarten students are assessed in all four areas on a one-to-one basis.
v Unlike the FSA, CELLA is not a timed test. v Testing window: February 16– April 3, 2015
Purposes of CELLA v Statewide standardized assessment for all ELLs.
v The test results can provide: • Diagnostically useful information about students’
strengths and weaknesses in English, • Placement into, or exit from English for Speakers of
Other Languages (ESOL) programs. • Determines District performance on Annual
Measureable Achievement Objectives (AMAOs)
