Testing and Accountability Update: Legislation, School
GradesJuly, 2013
Dr. Karen SchaferDirector, Office of Accountability and Testing
Impact of HB 1076
The bill •establishes new standard high school diploma requirements for students entering 9th grade in the 2013-14 school year and thereafter,
•alters testing requirements for previous cohorts of high school students, and
•establishes Scholar and Merit diploma designations.

Other requirements Must pass FCAT 2.0 gr 10 Reading
• Bills passed in Florida in 2006 and 2010 significantly increased the math and science credits and testing requirements for high school graduation.
• Requirements were the same for all students seeking a regular diploma.

Credits required: 24 for state, 26 for Brevard (no change)GPA: 2.0 (no change)Assessments: Must pass Gr. 10 FCAT 2.0 Reading and Algebra 1 EOC (change in EOC requirements)
6
Merit Diploma Designation
•In addition to the requirements for a standard diploma, a student pursuing a Merit designation must attain one or more industry certifications from a state-approved list.
7
Scholar Diploma Designation
Additional requirements to earn a Scholar designation:
Subject Scholar Diploma Requirement
English Pass the 11th grade ELA common core assessment, effective when the state transitions to common core assessments
Mathematics Earn 1 credit in Algebra II and 1 credit in Statistics or an equally rigorous course. When the state transitions to common core assessments, students must pass the Algebra II common core assessment.
Science Pass the Biology I EOC assessment and earn 1 credit in Chemistry or Physics and 1 credit in an equally rigorous course.
Social Studies Pass the U.S. History EOC assessment.
Foreign Language Earn 2 credits in the same foreign language.
Other Earn at least 1 credit in an AP, IB, AICE, or a dual enrollment course.
8
Summary of Graduation Changes
• Students who took Biology or Geometry prior to the 2013-14 school year will no longer be required to pass the Biology I and Geometry EOC assessments to earn course credit.
• Beginning with students in gr. 9 in 2013-14, the Biology and Geometry EOCs count 30 % of a student’s final course grade.
• No student is required to earn a credit in Algebra II and Chemistry or Physics to earn a standard high school diploma.
• High school students may earn a Scholar diploma designation if they satisfy course and testing requirements above-and-beyond those required for a standard diploma, e.g., earn credits in Algebra II and Chemistry or Physics and an equally rigorous science course and pass the Biology I and U.S. History EOC assessments.
• Students pursuing a Merit designation must attain one or more industry certifications.
9
Summary of Assessment Requirements
Changes to math and science credit and testing requirements for a standard HS diploma:
•The award of high school course credit in Algebra I, Biology I, and Geometry will no longer be tied to passing EOC assessments. • This applies to all 2012-13 and future high school
students, including students who have already taken the assessments.
• Student must pass the Alg I EOC to meet the graduation requirement, not to earn credit
10
Summary of Assessment Requirements
•No student, including 2012-13 9th graders, will be required to pass the Biology I and Geometry EOC assessments in order to earn a standard diploma. Passage of the Biology I EOC assessment is only required if a student pursues the Scholar designation.
•No student, including 2012-13 9th graders, will be required to earn a math credit in Algebra II or science credits in Chemistry or Physics to earn a standard diploma, just for the Scholar designation.

SB 1076 Impact on Middle Grades

SB 1076 Impact on Middle Grades
14
SB 1076 Impact on Middle Grades
FCAT Remediation for middle grades (6-8)
•Reading: Level 1 OR Level 2• Must enroll in remedial course or “a content area course in
which remediation strategies are incorporated into course” • Repeals remediation exemption for middle grade students
(6-8) who scored Level 1 or 2 who scored L3 or better in previous 3 years
•Math: Level 1 or Level 2• Student must receive remediation which may be integrated
into the student’s required math courses.• Bill does not specifically address remediation for Level 1,2
Algebra EOC BUT passing the EOC is a graduation requirement 15
SB 1076 Impact on High Schools
FCAT Remediation for high school students
• Reading: Level 1 OR Level 2 on 9th or 10th grade FCAT• Must be enrolled in and complete intensive remedial course or
be placed in content area course that includes remediation of deficit skills
• Legislation no longer includes remediation exemption for HS students who scored Level 1 or 2 who scored L3 or better in previous 3 years beginning with 2013-14 cohort
• Math: Level 1 or Level 2 on Algebra 1 EOC• Must be enrolled in and complete intensive remedial course or
be placed in content area course that includes remediation of deficit skills
16
Impact of SB 1076 on Prior Cohorts
• Even though legislation did not take effect until July 1, 2013, many of its changes impact students in cohorts who are yet to graduate.
• Eliminates Geometry and Biology EOCs as graduation requirements or to earn credit
• Eliminates courses that were listed as graduation requirements (Algebra II, Physics)
• Changes graduation requirements

Prior Cohorts and Scholar Designation
“Generally speaking, students who entered high school before the 2013-14 school year may pursue a Scholar designation. However, a student’s ability to pursue the designation may depend on whether the EOC assessment for a course was implemented at the time the student took the course. Because statewide administration of the Biology I and U.S. History EOC assessments began in the 2011-12 and 2012-13 school years, respectively, students who took these courses before implementation of the EOC assessments would have to take and pass the assessments to earn the designation. Nothing prevents a school board from allowing these students to sit for future administrations of these assessments solely for the purpose of qualifying for the scholar designation or, regarding students who took the Biology I EOC assessment in the 2011-12 or 2012-13 school years, retroactively applying the passing score on the assessment to the student’s score to determine qualification for the designation.”House of Representatives Final Bill AnalysisMay 6, 2013 19

Changes to School Grades in 2012
*Measures to “add stability during transition”
28
Changes to School Grades in 2012 (continued)
31
School Grade Changes for 2013
1. Provision for one-letter-grade drop limit – PROVISION EXTENDED (July 16, 2013 SBE)
2. Waiver requiring adequate progress of Low 25% - WAIVER DROPPED, rule reinstated. Letter grade penalty for reading/math performance <25%
3. Adjust FCAT 2.0 Writing standard - Set 2013 FCAT 2.0 Writing standard at 3.5 (FAA standard remains at Level 4 and above)
4. Waiver of reading performance penalty (letter grade drop for <25% performance in reading) - WAIVER DROPPED, rule reinstated. Reading proficiency penalty goes into effect with 2013 school grade.
5. Waiver to delay automatic school grade scale adjustment if at least 75% of schools earn A or B - Postponed by one year. Earliest scale could go up is 2013-14 based on 2012-13 grades.
32
State Board Rule Decisions Action on Waivers to Add Stability During Transition:
School Grade Changes for 2013• Five-Year Graduation Rate, High School Grades:
• The five-year graduation rate may be revised to count only standard diploma recipients as graduates (if required under ESEA).
33
Modified 5 Year Graduation Rate• Calculated as a follow-up to the prior year four-year federal rate.• Uses the same denominator as the prior-year four-year federal rate, but
accounts for additional graduates in Year 5. • Previously counted special diploma recipients as graduates (they are counted
as non-graduates in the federal four-year rate).• ESEA requirements do not allow Florida to count special diploma recipients as
graduates in an accountability system that is used to meet federal reporting requirements.
• Under federal requirements, a student may be counted as a graduate only if the student meets all state requirements for a standard diploma.
Other Factors Impacting 2013 School Grade
• New achievement Level Standards for FCAT 2.0 Science
• New EOCs and achievement levels for Biology and Geometry
• Geometry EOC included in math performance & learning gains measures
• Biology EOC counts for HS science performance measure
• Algebra 1 EOC included in determining Low 25% group for math
• Additional EOCs and Industry Certifications included in middle school acceleration
• ???Inconsistency in L25% calculations in elementary???34
