Uniform Statewide Assessment Calendar
Glossary of Assessment Terms
| Acronym/Term | Definition |
| ACCESS for ELLs | Assessing Comprehension and Communication in English State-to-State (ACCESS) for English Language Learners (ELLs) |
| Accommodation | Per Rule 6A-1.0943, F.A.C., “Accommodations are defined as adjustments to the presentation of the statewide standardized assessment questions, methods of recording examinee responses to the questions, scheduling for the administration of a statewide standardized assessment to include amount of time for administration, settings for administration of a statewide standardized assessment, and the use of assistive technology or devices to facilitate the student’s participation in a statewide standardized assessment.” |
| B.E.S.T. | Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking |
| CBT | Computer-Based Test |
| Concordant and Comparative Scores | Concordant and comparative scores refer to scores that have been determined by establishing a relationship between assessments that measure similar (but not identical) constructs, such as the Algebra 1 End-of-Course Assessment and the SAT. In statute, concordant refers to scores associated with the ELA assessment and comparative refers to scores associated with the Algebra 1 assessment. A student can meet assessment graduation requirements by earning a concordant or comparative score as specified in Rule 6A-1.09422, F.A.C. |
| Diagnostic | 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 |
| District Window | The selected dates within the statewide window during which a district will administer a given assessment |
| District-Required Assessments | Assessments required by the school district for students in a specific grade or course |
| ELA | English Language Arts |
| EOC | End-of-Course |
| Evaluative | Assessments that measure student proficiency at selected intervals in order to compare change over time and to compare state-level results |
| FAST | Florida Assessment of Student Thinking |
| FCLE | Florida Civic Literacy Exam |
| Formative | Formative assessments are the formal and informal ways that teachers and students gather and respond to evidence of student learning. Formative assessments are part of teaching in the classroom. Formative assessments 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. |
| FSA | Florida Standards Assessments |
| FSAA | Florida Standards Alternate Assessment |
| Interim | Interim assessments are administered on a smaller scale (i.e., school or district) with results that can be used at the classroom level or aggregated at the school- or district-level. Depending on the design, interim assessments can be used to predict a student’s ability to succeed on a summative assessment, to evaluate a program, or to diagnose student learning gaps. |

| PM3 | The summative administration of FAST Progress Monitoring at the end of the school year. |
| Progress Monitoring | The process used to determine whether a student’s academic performance is improving, at what rate it is improving, and how effective instruction has been. In accordance with s. 1008.25(8)(b)1., F.S., the progress monitoring assessments for VPK through grade 2 must be administered at least three times within a program year or school year, as applicable, with the first administration occurring no later than the first 30 instructional days after a student’s enrollment or the start of the program or school year, the second administration occurring midyear, and the third administration occurring within the last 30 days of the program or school year. In accordance with s. 1008.25(8)(b)2., F.S., the progress monitoring assessments for grades 3 through 10 must be administered at the beginning, middle, and end of the school year. |
