Summary
The proposed rule provides that the Florida VPK Assessment, which is a progress monitoring assessment, must be used by VPK providers to assess VPK students. In addition, the proposed rule provides that Teaching Strategies Gold, which was competitively procured, is the observational assessment that must also be used by VPK providers to assess VPK students. To properly administer these assessments, the proposed rule sets forth requirements that must be met, including training and minimum qualifications for the assessor.
