Purpose


To align the definition of an achievement level 3 with s. 1008.22(3)(e), F.S., and to specify scores ranges that define the five Achievement Levels for the assessments aligned to the Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking (B.E.S.T.) Standards in kindergarten through grade 10 English Language Arts Reading, kindergarten through grade 8 Mathematics, grades 4 through 10 ELA Writing, and end-of-course assessments in Algebra 1 and Geometry. Once adopted, these Achievement Levels may be used for placement, promotion, retention, and accountability purposes. Additionally, the title of the rule is being updated to reflect the inclusion of the coordinated screening and progress monitoring system.
