RULE:

6A-1.094221

Alternative Standardized Reading Assessment and Use of Student Portfolio for Good Cause Promotion

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this rule revision is to provide guidance relating to the statewide public school student progression law eliminating social promotion, by removing the FCAT Norm Referenced Test (NRT) as an alternative assessment good cause exemption for students scoring at Level 1 on the grade three Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) in Reading. Since the original rule adoption, the FCAT Norm Referenced Test (NRT) has been eliminated from the FCAT assessment program. The effect of this rule revision will be that students who score at Level 1 on the grade three FCAT Reading may be promoted to grade four if an acceptable level of performance is demonstrated on the alternative assessment, (SAT-9 or SAT-10) or using a student portfolio.

SUMMARY:

Relating to the statewide public school student progression law eliminating social promotion, students who score at Level 1 on the grade three Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) in Reading may be promoted to grade four if the student demonstrates an acceptable level of performance on the Reading SAT-9 or Reading SAT-10 alternative assessment or through a student portfolio that demonstrates the student’s mastery of the Sunshine State Standards in reading equal to at least a Level 2 performance on the grade three FCAT Reading.
