SUBJECT:

 

Assessment of Adult and Career and Technical Education Students

 

State Board Rules 6A-10.040 and 6A-6.014 are in the process of being amended to include the Tests of

Adult Basic Education (TABE), versions 9 and 10. The process of amendment of state board rules is a

lengthy process. We have had several requests from the field to allow the use of TABE 9 and 10 while

the rules are being amended. Therefore, this memorandum will allow school districts and community

colleges to begin using TABE 9 and 10 for their Adult and Career and Technical Education (CTE)

students if they wish to do so while the rules are in the amendment process.

 

TABE 7 and 8 will remain in both rules so that if the district or community college does not wish to

change forms, they need not do so. TABE 7 and 8 will remain in both rules as long as CTB McGraw Hill

continues to publish these forms.

 

If you have any questions concerning this memorandum, please contact Jane Silveria at (850) 245-9022,

Suncom: 205-9022, or at jane.silveria@fldoe.org.
