  3. Statewide Assessments

  4. Statewide Assessments • Beginning in 2014-15, the Florida Standards Assessments (FSA) will include: • English Language Arts (ELA) in grades 3-11 • Mathematics in grades 3-8 • Algebra I End-of Course (EOC) • Algebra II EOC • Geometry EOC • These assessments replace the current FCAT 2.0 Reading (grades 3-10) and mathematics assessments (grades 3-8), as well as the current state EOCs in Algebra I and Geometry • The existing FCAT 2.0 Science assessments in grades 5 and 8, and the existing state EOCs in Biology I, U.S. History and Civics will continue to be administered
