  1. CURRICULUM UPDATES May 10, 2011

  2. State Board of Education Rule 6A-6.054 As of April 21, 2011, K-12 student reading intervention requirements have changed. Districts must establish criteria beyond FCAT for placing students into different levels of reading intervention classes to meet individual instructional needs of students.  Districts must determine if students have an instructional need in decoding and text reading efficiency through the use of assessments and must identify benchmark criteria for placement of students requiring additional instructional time in reading intervention.

  3. What Has Changed • Fluency has been removed from the placement guidelines and replaced with decoding and text efficiency abilities. • This provides flexibility in scheduling additional time for reading intervention students in need of instruction in decoding and text reading efficiency. • Language was revised to allow flexibility to districts regarding progress monitoring requirements of Level 1 and 2 students.

  4. Placement of Level 1 and Level 2 Students Without Decoding and Text Efficiency Issues • FCAT Level 1 Students must receive 1 period of intensive reading. • FCAT Level 2 students must be placed in an intensive reading course or a content area reading intervention. • Teacher must be NGCAR-PD, CAR-PD, reading endorsed, or reading certified.

  5. Placement of Level 1 and Level 2 Students Who Are Reading 2 years or More Below Grade Level • FCAT Level 1 and 2 Students that are reading 2 or more years below grade level must have 2 periods of intensive reading. • The classes do not need to be by the same teacher. • They do not need to be back to back.

  6. Placement of Level 1 and Level 2 Students With Decoding and Text Efficiency Issues • Students who score at FCAT Level 1 or 2 and have intervention needs in areas of decoding and/or text efficiency must have extended time. • This may occur before or after school daily with teacher support OR • may be in an additional period of intensive reading.

  7. Placement of 11th and 12th Grade Students Who Are FCAT Level 1 • Students in 11th and 12th grade who are FCAT Level 1 will receive reading intervention. • One period of intensive reading intervention is required even if the student has a concordant score necessary for graduation. • Extended time will be determined by the additional assessment results and flow chart.

  8. Placement of 11th and 12th Grade Students Who Are FCAT Level 2 • Students in grades 11 and 12 who have met the graduation requirement with a Level 2 score on FCAT Reading may be served through one of the following options. • Reading courses • Content area courses without a specific professional development requirement (any content area course) • Before or after school

  9. Assessment(s) to Determine Placement All Schools • FCAT FY10 Scores (until FY11 scores are available) All Schools using FAIR • FAIR Middle and High Schools not using FAIR • Pencil/Paper Maze (located in Learning Village) with SRI Elementary Schools not using FAIR • Fountas and Pinnell with SRI PD was conducted for reading coaches on Friday, May 6, 2011, and elementary SAI teachers on Friday, April 29, 2011, to prepare for the administration of the assessments above.

  10. Resources Located in Learning Village Pathway: Learning Village>Elementary, Middle, or High>FY11 Reading>Intensive Reading Placement Information • Maze pencil/paper assessment with directions • Technical assistancepapers • Lexile Level Chart to determine reading grade level equivalent • Placement flow charts • Record of Information Spreadsheet • Breeze presentation for placement information is forthcoming. • Breeze presentation for with directions for administering FAIR is forthcoming.

  11. Professional Development Notification To provide time for personnel to address the changes and to complete the necessary assessments, the following trainings are cancelled. • May 13, 2011 SAI Professional Development • May 20, 2011 Elementary and Secondary Reading Coach Professional Development
