6. 2017-2018 FSAA-Datafolio Overview
For students with the most significant cognitive disabilities who typically do not have a formal mode of communication and are working at pre-academic levels
Designed to show student progress on a continuum of access toward academic content rather than mastery of academic content
FSAA-Datafolio Key Points
Focus on access to (not mastery of) standards
Focus on increased accuracy and independence
Measures student growth over time
Student compared only to self, not larger peer group
Designed to reflect/incorporate classroom activities

7. 2017-2018 FSAA-Datafolio Overview
For students being assessed via Datafolio, teachers submit student work samples across three collection periods throughout the school year
Samples are teacher-developed from typical classroom activities/tasks that are aligned to Access Point Standards
Student evidence from all three collection periods is submitted by the teacher via an online system and independently scored to determine the student’s progress

8. Assessment Participation Checklist
Who should be assessed with the FSAA?
Individual IEP teams are responsible for determining whether students with disabilities will be assessed through administration of the general statewide standardize assessments or instructed in access points and assessed via the FSAA
IEP teams will use the Assessment Participation Checklist to make this determination
We will now discuss participation guidelines for the Florida Standards Alternate Assessment.
Who should be assessed with the FSAA?
A student's Individual Educational Plan team, is responsible for determining if a student will be instructed on AP and assessed with the Florida Standards Alternate Assessment. The IEP team should consider the student’s present level of educational performance.
IEP teams should use the questions in the Assessment Participation Checklist to determine if the Florida Standards Alternate Assessment is appropriate for the student. The IEP team should also be knowledgeable of appropriate testing accommodations.
Remember: parents must provide signed consent to have their student instructed in Access Points and assessed using the Florida Standards Alternate Assessment
For questions on participation criteria, contact your district’s alternate assessment coordinator.

9.    Assessment Participation Checklist page5
The IEP team should use these 3 questions to determine if the Florida Standards Alternate Assessment is appropriate for the student.
All 3 questions MUST be answered YES for the Florida Alternate Assessment to be an appropriate meaningful evaluation of the student.

10. Datafolio Checklist
This is an additional checklist available in the Datafolio Teacher Resource Guide, pages 4-5. This is another tool available to help the IEP team determine which component of the FSAA is most appropriate for the student.
