Assessment and Accountability 2017 Just Read, Florida! (JRF!)

JRF! plans for 2017-2018 Over the next year, JRF! will continue our collaboration with districts through our Tiered Support initiative which will use a system of data analyses to provide a structured system of support to areas of need which may include the following: Professional development opportunities Academies Problem solving groups With the implementation of STAR Early Literacy as the Florida Kindergarten Readiness Screener (FLKRS) the Progress Monitoring Reporting Network (PMRN) will no longer be used to collect FLKRS data. JRF! will continue to support districts in their use of FLKRS data to improve instruction for their students, however, JRF! will no longer oversee the administration of FLKRS. FAIR-FS will still be available as part of the PMRN for all public schools in grade 3-12.
