Test Development Center (TDC)
• TDC is funded through a grant by the Florida Department of Education (FDOE). The grant is managed by Tallahassee Community College.
• TDC’s purpose is to assist FDOE in the implementation of various aspects of the statewide assessment program.
• TDC works with contractors and Florida educators to develop test items for English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies assessments.
• TDC also works with contractors and FDOE to produce and distribute interpretive products related to statewide assessments.

Other Updates• FDOE will allow public high school students in the state
of Florida to participate in the ACT or SAT assessment free of charge during the 2020-21 school year as part of Florida’s CARES Act plan (memo sent to districts on 8/14).
• FDOE will offer a free progress monitoring tool through CAI for optional district/school use for grades 3 – 10 ELA Reading and grades 3 – 8 Mathematics (memo sent to districts on 8/27).
Source: DAC Powerpoint August 2020
www.FLDOE.org23
Adaptive Progress Monitoring• Cambium’s Adaptive Progress Monitoring tool will be
available to all Florida public school schools on a voluntary basis.
• Grades 3–10 English Language Arts (ELA) Reading and grades 3–8 Mathematics
• Available October 1, 2020, through February 19, 2021
• The tool will be available for multiple administrations, per student, throughout the school year, such as early and midway through the school year.
Source: DAC Powerpoint August 2020
www.FLDOE.org24
Adaptive Progress Monitoring• Cambium’s progress monitoring tool is computer-adaptive with
about 24–34 items per administration.• Because the tool is computer-adaptive, students must answer each
item to proceed.
• Students may access any grade-level content.
• Though developed by Cambium, this tool is not the FSA.
• This tool is 100% optional for districts, and results will not be used in any accountability calculations.

Other Updates
• While there has been much discussion and activity regarding remote proctoring and at-home testing, FDOE is not considering this for any of Florida’s K-12 summative or postsecondary assessments in 2020-2021.
• FDOE is gathering evidence and resources on this issue that is being provided by other states, Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), the National Council on Measurement in Education (NCME), and vendors.

The Desmos calculator for grades 7 and 8 and the EOCs can be found at:
https://fsassessments.org/resources/subject-specific/
www.FLDOE.org30
Handheld Calculators• No updates for FSA have been made to the
information in the calculator policies document on the FSA Portal.
• Districts are responsible for noting any functionality changes to approved models.
• FDOE will not review/approve additional models for the list; however, districts may provide calculators if mathematics specialists in the district determine that they meet the published specifications.
• Handheld calculators are OPTIONAL for CBT and REQUIRED for PBT in calculator sessions.
www.FLDOE.org31
• School staff and Test Administrators MUST be trained on the appropriate use of calculators:• Grades 7 and 8—SESSIONS 2 and 3 ONLY
• FSA EOCs—SESSION 2 ONLY
• Tests for students who have access to a calculator during non-calculator sessions OR who have access to a calculator with prohibited functionalities must be invalidated.

• In all FSA Mathematics grades and courses, at least one new or revised paper-based practice item per grade/course were updated in January 2020.• Updates are intended to show item types, item type
combinations, and item formats.
• Multi-interaction items will be added to paper-based practice tests.

PBT Reference Sheets
• The reference sheets for Grades 4–8 Mathematics and Algebra 1 and Geometry EOCs will be included in Sessions 1 and 2 (and 3, if applicable).
• These sheets do not have perforated pages, so students may not tear them out.
• Schools may print copies of the reference sheet.
• This policy information will be included in administration manuals.
www.FLDOE.org38
PBT Practice Tests
• Students who will take an FSA ELA Reading or Mathematics paper-based test are strongly encouraged to practice at school. • Student Presentations with animations and narrations
• Directions for Completing – shorter practice with test items
• Paper-Based Practice Tests
• Students taking PBT ELA Writing are strongly encouraged to take a practice test to become familiar with the amount of space they will have for their responses.
www.FLDOE.org39
CBT Practice Tests
• CBT students are required to participate in a practice test session prior to testing.
• Students retaking an assessment who previously completed this requirement for the test they will take (EOC or Retake) are not required to participate in another practice test.
• Students with CBT accommodations must use the appropriate accommodated practice test.
• Ensure test administrators do not start an Operational Session for practice.

Gridding in numerical answers
• Remind students that directions for gridding are at the front of the PBT booklet.
• The directions are not located in a session. So, they are able to flip back to look at them any time during the test.
