*Students must take and pass the Algebra 1 EOC Assessment in order to satisfy their graduation requirements. Students taking the FSA Algebra 1 EOC Assessment in spring 2015 will receive a score linked to the previous Algebra 1 EOC passing score to determine if they meet the graduation requirements. When new performance standards are determined for the Florida Standards Algebra 1 EOC Assessment, a new passing score will be established.
.
Senate Bill 1076 Florida Senate Bill 1076 requires that students enrolled in specified courses take the EOC assessments for the course and the results constitute 30 percent of the student’s final grade. • All students enrolled in an eligible EOC
course for the first time will have the 30 percent included in the final course grade computation in the spring administration of each school year. o Final course grades for students who do
not test or students’ whose test is invalidated will be reported as No Grade (NG).
• For any students who currently have an “NG” and receive an EOC score, school staff must apply the 30% calculation to the final course grade that was initially held using the EOC chart and update the student’s final course grade in ISIS. o Schools should use the traditional
grade change protocol to update the grade.

Questions What EOC assessments are students required to pass? What students are eligible to take the FCAT 2.0
Reading Retake test? What students are eligible to take the NGSSS Algebra
1 Retake EOC test? Do students that need to retake the FSA ELA Retake
test have to take both components (Writing and Reading)?
How do I generate my list of eligible students for every test? Where do I locate the FL ID number?
How can I identify students that did not receive a final grade (NG) due to the EOC test?

Purposes of ACCESS for ELLs 2.0
The results can provide:
• Data useful for charting student progress over time,
• Diagnostically useful information about students’ strengths and weaknesses in English,
• One of multiple measures used to determine whether students are prepared to exit from English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) programs.
• Identifies the proper ESOL level with respect to English Language Development Standards
• Determining whether the District and schools met Annual Measureable Achievement Objectives (AMAOs)
88
ALL students enrolled in the district (grades K-12) and classified ELL, with a code of “LY” on the 1st day of the test administration window, must be administered the English language proficiency assessment

ACCESS for ELLs 2.0 assesses students’ English language proficiency in five areas:
Domains & Grade Level Clusters
*Note: Kindergarten will remain an interactive, paper-based kit.
WIDA CONSORTIUM
92
Within each grade-level cluster ACCESS for ELLs 2.0 consists of three test forms: Tier A (beginner), Tier B (intermediate), and Tier C (advanced).
Tiers for ACCESS for ELLs 2.0 (grades 1-12) and Proficiency Levels
93
Tier A – Assigned to ESOL Level 1▫ For ELLs who have arrived in the U.S. or entered school in the U.S.
within this academic school year without previous instruction in English;
▫ currently receive literacy instruction only in their native language; and/or
▫ have recently tested at the lowest level of English language proficiency.
Tier B – Assigned to ESOL Levels 2 or 3▫ For ELLs who have social language proficiency and some, but not
extensive, academic language proficiency in English; and/or have acquired some literacy in English, though have not yet reached grade-level literacy.
Tier C – Assigned to ESOL Level 4▫ For ELLs who are approaching grade-level literacy and academic
language proficiency in the core content areas; and/or will likely meet the state’s exit criteria for support services by the end of the academic year.
Note: If in doubt, place the student in a higher tier.

Approximate Testing Times
Satisfactory Progress This student demonstrated a satisfactory level of achievement on the content focus of the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards assessed during this instructional period. To attain high levels of achievement in this content area, the student must receive continued instruction on the challenging content and skills across the benchmarks designated for this grade level.
Limited Progress This student demonstrated a limited level of achievement on the content focus of the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards assessed during this instructional period. To attain high levels of achievement in this content area, the student must receive targeted interventions and remediation in the areas of concern, and continued instruction on the challenging content and skills across the benchmarks designated for this grade level.
Insufficient Progress This student demonstrated an insufficient level of achievement on the content focus of the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards assessed during this instructional period. To attain high levels of achievement in this content area, the student must receive intensive interventions and remediation in the areas of concern, and continued instruction on the challenging content and skills across the benchmarks designated for this grade level.
Students who are likely to
score in FCAT levels 3 and
above
Students whose
performance was not
sufficient to predict success
Students who are likely to score below FCAT level 3

District Designated End of Course Exams (DDEOC)
Kathleen Sierra, Supervisor
HB 7069
Removes the requirement to assess each course
Allows some flexibility for districts to determine how to measure students’ performance
Amends F.S. 1008.22,to read:o When available, provide instructional personnel with
information on student achievement of standards and benchmarks in order to improve instruction.
Use of DDEOCs
Ensure that state-established course content is delivered consistently
Provide teacher and administrators with reliable content specific data in previously untested courses
Potential measure of content-specific student achievement to inform teacher evaluation
Rollout of DDEOCs
Each semester, selected DDEOC test forms will be field tested to determine psychometric properties of the assessment
Results of field tests analyzed for validity
Valid test forms used the next school year for full administration (all students enrolled in that course)
At this time, no elementary courses are selected for field testing
2015-16 DDEOC Format
All assessments will be CBT delivered through Gateway to Data (G2D)
Tests forms will be 50 multiple choice items Timed: 60 minutes for standard curriculum
120 minutes for qualifying extended timed students

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.
FSA, FCAT 2.0, EOCCaveon Data Forensics
Most Powerful & “Credible” Statistic
• Measures degree of similarity between two or more test instances
• Analyze each test instance against all other test instances in the school
Possible causes of extremely high similarity:
• Answer Copying
• Test Coaching
• Proxy Test Taking
• Collusion

Based on estimated answer changing rates from:
• Wrong-to-Right
• Anything-to-WrongFind answer sheets with unusual WtR answers
Extreme statistical outliers could involve tampering, “panic cheating”, etc.
Important! No student–level score invalidations based on erasure analysis; erasure analysis limited to school-level flagging for additional review.
