Report must contain:
explanation of the student results;
information on student strengths and weaknesses;
specific actions that can be taken and resources that can be used for improving areas of weaknesses;
comparative data; and,
if available, longitudinal and predictive data.

6. Reporting Changes Delivery of electronic copies of Student Reports
Electronic copies of FSA student reports will be loaded to the online reporting system (no more USBs)
Future possibility of loading electronic copies of student reports to local district parent portals

7. Data Cleaning Procedure changes
FLEID should reduce the ELA matching issue drastically
No more FSA NR spreadsheet
Resolve the score flag 4, 5 and 6 via the Discrepancy Resolution System (DRS) in TIDE for the FSA tests
Resolve the ‘invalid’ values via PearsonAccess Next before score releases

8. Student Identification - Change and Impacts
FLEID
Having the valid FLEID for your students before testing is required. Here are the uses of the FLEID in the Assessment Office:
Pre-identify students in PANext/TIDE
Identify the retake and APS students in the end-of-course assessments, thus ensuring the accuracy of the summary results
Merge the FSA ELA Reading and Writing components
Match students’ current test to prior tests in order to populate the longitudinal data for the FSA ELA and Mathematics reports
Students cannot test without a valid FLEID

Different SID was used for the Writing and Reading component of the FSA ELA test.
Either the Writing or Reading component of the FSA ELA test
record is assigned a score flag that is not 1 (report score).

13. Common Questions and Answers
FSA ELA Score Status Flag

14. Common Questions and Answers
Score Status Flag 5: Below-Grade Test
The flag is 5 if the tested grade is lower than the enrollment grade captured at the start of the testing window for each subject (the first day of test administration for each subject test).
Does not apply to EOC and ELA Retake
Business Rules for Possible Below-grade testers in FSA
A student took a paper test whose enrolled grade on TIDE is higher than the test grade.
A student took a Computer Based Test by uploading the wrong enrolled grade on TIDE (TDS does not allow a student to take a below test grade CBT).

15. PreID Updates/Reminders
Addition of accommodations to all layouts (including Pearson)
Updated Test Indicators
Contracted UEB: W -> D Uncontracted UEB: X -> V
Regular Print: R -> P One Item Per Page: O -> I
No more Alias number
AIR: Unique FLEID
Pearson: Unique FLEID, Last Name, First Name, District, School 15

16. PreID Updates/Reminders
Note 1: As soon as possible, enter students into TIDE if they transferred from another district/school in order for the latest, most accurate information to be used for reporting. Note 2: Private-To-Public or adult students can no longer test on demand or on the day of the test without a valid FLEID assigned

17. Caveon Training Training on 7/10/2017 48 attendees
Copy of recording and slides on ShareFile
K-12 Scoring and Reporting > Resources > Caveon > Training
First part of the training is for both districts and schools
Second part of the training is specifically for districts

18. Caveon Training Quick Points
Removal of superintendent signature for invalidation appeals Guide still mentions that this is required, but will be updated shortly to remove this in the Invalidation Appeals Guide, and is effective beginning with any Fall 2017 invalidations.
Use caution when relying upon fax machines Please contact FDOE to verify that we have received any appeals sent, especially if sent via fax. If the appeal includes numerous pages, districts are strongly urged to scan them and post for FDOE.
One appeal form page per student appealed It also helps to have these at the front of the packet/scanned document as well. For example, if three students were flagged together and you are appealing all three, the first three pages of the appeal should be three appeal forms (one for each student).
