The statewide assessment information in sections 3 and 4 should not be altered; however, districts may otherwise modify and populate this template to accurately indicate their assessment schedules for the school year. 1. Glossary of Assessment Terms The following glossary includes definitions of assessment terms and explanations of acronyms used throughout this template. Districts may add rows as needed for additional glossary terms that are specific to district required. Do not modify any other information in this section.

Computer Based Test Assessments that measure students understanding of a subject area or skills base, which allow teachers and educators to evaluate student learning, focusing on strengths and areas of need The selected dates within the statewide window during which a district will administer a given assessment Assessments required by the school district for students in a specific grade or course English Language Arts End of Course Assessments that measure student proficiency at selected intervals in order to compare change over time and to compare state level results Florida Assessments for Instruction in Reading Florida Kindergarten Readiness Screener Formative are the formal and informal ways that teachers and students gather and respond to evidence of student learning. Formative are part of teaching in the classroom. Formative will not result in a score that will appear on a student's report card, but they serve the greater purpose of informing both students and teachers on what changes need to happen in classroom instruction to better serve the needs of individual students.
