• CELLA is a four-skill English language assessment measuring student proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
• Listening, Reading, and Writing are administered in groups
• Speaking is administered on a one-on-one basis
• Kindergarten students are assessed in all four areas on a one-to-one basis.
• CELLA is not a timed test.
39
The test results can provide:
• Data useful for charting student progress over time,
• Diagnostically useful information about students’ strengths and weaknesses in English,
• The language proficiency levels of individual students can be used in making decisions regarding placement into, or exit from English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) programs,
• Identifying the proper ESOL level,
• Determining whether Annual Measureable Achievement Objectives (AMAOs) have been met.
40
AMAO 1:
Progressing in English language acquisition annual increases in the number or percentage of students making progress in learning English
AMAO 2:
Exiting or reaching English language proficiencyannual increases in the number or percentage of students attaining English language proficiency by the end of each school year
AMAO 3:
ELL-Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)AYP for the ELL subgroup in demonstrating proficiency on grade-level in reading and mathematics on the FCAT

Purpose of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)
• A common nationwide measure of student performance
• Reports change over time
• Provides results for the nation, states, and some urban districts.
• Secondary indicator for state progress and allows national comparisons between states and large urban districts
• Used by the President, Congress, and state leaders to set education policy
44
• A representative sample of schools and students are selected
• Randomly selected students in grades 4, 8, and 12 are assessed in reading, writing, mathematics, science, and economics
• Assessments includes multiple-choice and constructed response items.
• Assessments are administered by NAEP field staff
• Assessments are 90 to 120 minutes, which include testing and answering background questions
• Accommodations are offered for ELL and SWD students.
• Results are reported by scale scores, subscales, achievement levels, subgroups, and geography

Phase I: Initial Certification Tool Schools will complete a web-based FCAT/EOC
Certification Tool by September 21, 2010. Phase II: Local Infrastructure Trial
Full-length mock test in December to “test” the system and resolve any issues. This test can be loaded at each school to mimic an actual
day of testing. Phase III: Final Certification
Schools will submit a detailed testing plan including session schedules, staffing information, and completed technology checklists.
71
Schools will complete a web-based FCAT/EOC Certification Tool to access “school readiness”. All schools administering one or more computer-
based tests must complete the certification tool by September 21, 2010.
Information collected will be used to determine school’s capacity for computer-based testing.
Schools that are NOT “ready” will work with district staff to develop a plan to reach capacity.
