The FAQ clarifies that students in specified grades will take more statewide assessments in ELA and math, alongside existing science, Algebra I, Geometry, Biology, US History, and Civics testing. It also notes uncertainty about testing length, discusses reporting timelines for progress monitoring, and highlights the end-of-year comprehensive result schedule.

How many statewide assessments will those students take as a result of SB 1048?  \nA: Three statewide assessments each in grades 3-10 ELA and grade 3-8 math for a total of six statewide assessments in those subjects. That is in addition to the current statewide assessments in science (grades 5 and 8), Algebra I, Geometry, Biology, United States History and Civics.  \nQ: Well, that doesn’t sound like a reduction in testing. But at least the tests will be shorter. How long will each student spend testing?  \nA: That currently is unknown. SB 1048 was silent on the length of tests. However, the law is clear that the endof-year test is “comprehensive.” So there is no reason to believe it will be shorter than the current end-of-year test.  \nQ: Wait—you’re telling me the law increases the number of statewide standardized tests and it does not make any provision for reducing the length of tests?  \nA: Correct. Once the bill becomes law (July 1, 2022), the Department of Education will initiate new assessment systems. But there is absolutely no guarantee that what they implement will result in reduced testing time. Infact, there is every reason to believe students will spend more time testing next school year.  \nQ: But, we do get students’ test results back more quickly now, right? At least that made it into law?  \nA: Not really. For the start-of-the-year and midyear progress monitoring tests, results will be returned to teachers “within one week.” So, that is likely longer than it takes for teachers to get progress monitoring results back using the current system.  \nWhen it comes to the big end-of-year comprehensive test, results still will not be returned until after the end of the school year.  \nQ: So, what has changed?  \nA: The name of the test. It will now be called Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) .  \nQ: That’s it? Just the same test with a new name?  \nA: Not just a new name. Remember there will also be more testing—there will be a FAST at the beginning of the year, a midyear FAST and an end-of-year comprehensive FAST.  \nQ: What can I do about this?  \nA: Vote in August and November! But, democracy requires much more than voting. Regardless of the outcome of elections, it important to stay involved all year long so that your locally elected officials know teachers want there to be more joy and less testing in their classrooms. Talk to your local union president about how to stay involved and informed all year-round. It’s never too soon to think about advocating for less testing during the 2023 legislative session.","cbCais1vM9L8vjez","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCais1vM9L8vjez","pdf",78969,"English","# SB 1048 and Testing Consequences\n## High-stakes outcomes and removed impacts\n# Assessment Volume and Subjects\n## ELA and math statewide assessments by grade\n## Existing science and other subject assessments\n# Test Length and Time in Testing\n## End-of-year comprehensive timing\n# Results Reporting and Timelines\n## Progress monitoring results within one week\n## End-of-year results after school year\n# What Changed Beyond the Name\n## FAST at beginning, midyear, and end-of-year\n# What Readers Can Do\n## Voting and year-round advocacy","[{\"question\":\"Does SB 1048 remove high-stakes consequences tied to testing?\",\"answer\":\"No. High-stakes consequences remain in effect, including third grade retention, high school graduation impacts, teacher pay, and school grades.\"},{\"question\":\"How many statewide assessments will students take under SB 1048 in ELA and math?\",\"answer\":\"Students in grades 3-10 ELA and grades 3-8 math will take three statewide assessments each, for a total of six statewide assessments in those subjects.\"},{\"question\":\"When will test results be returned for start-of-year, midyear, and end-of-year assessments?\",\"answer\":\"Start-of-year and midyear progress monitoring results are scheduled to be returned to teachers within one week, while end-of-year comprehensive FAST results are returned after the end of the school year.\"}]","Transition from FSA to FAST - Frequently Asked Questions | PDF",1791071282]
