?
Requirements – 2008-09
?
Purpose
This technical assistance paper provides information about the Automated Student and
Staff Data Base reporting requirements regarding students and teachers involved in
reading intervention instruction during 2008-09.
These data are required by the K-12 Comprehensive Reading Plan (as indicated in
s.1001.215, F.S. and Rule 6A-6.053, FAC).
Specific Automated Student and Staff Data Base reporting elements, formats and edits
for the 2008-09 year are published on the web at the following address:
http://www.fldoe.org/eias. The deadlines and reporting survey periods are listed in the
attachment entitled Survey Dates.
Reporting Progress Monitoring Data
1. How do we report K-12 student progress monitoring data?
All students who are targeted for reading intervention, whether in a self-contained
classroom, reading course or content area course, must have their progress monitored
three times per year using the assessment identified in the approved K-12
Comprehensive Reading Plan. Schools that are not using the Progress Monitoring and
Reporting Network (PMRN) to report student data must report this assessment data via
the 2008-09 Automated Student Data Base system, which is equipped to receive the
progress monitoring measures listed in your approved K-12 Comprehensive Reading
Plan.
The format used to report this data is the Student Assessment format which is reported
in October 2008 (survey period 2), February 2009 (survey period 3) and August 2009
(survey period 5). The following individual student information is reported on this format:
district number, school number, student identification number, survey period, year, test
name, test publication year, test date, test subject content, test form, test level, test
score type 1, test score 1, test score type 2, test score 2.
2. What Test Name, Test Subject Content, and Test Score Type codes should be
used?
Codes for progress monitoring assessment instruments listed in approved district K-12
Comprehensive Reading Plans are found in Appendix I, the Test Name Table for the
Automated Student Information System 2008–09 found at
http://www.fldoe.org/eias/dataweb/student_0809.asp.
Refer to Appendix L in the Student Information System Data Base Manuals to determine
the test subject content code for each progress monitoring assessment instrument. This
appendix can be found at: http://www.fldoe.org/eias/dataweb/student_0809.asp.
Refer to the Test Score Type data element definition/domain for the codes and
definitions for reporting specific test score types. This data element definition table can
be found at:
http://www.fldoe.org/eias/dataweb/student_0809.asp.
Appendices I, L, and the Score Type data element definition table are attached to this
technical assistance paper for your convenience.
3. What information is needed to appropriately code the Florida Oral Reading
Fluency (FORF) and MAZE assessments for progress monitoring?
Report the following information for the FORF:
Test Name code: FOR
Test Publication Year: 2005
Test Subject Content code: Oral Reading Fluency – code O1
Test Form: A
Test Level: Grade level of student
Test Score Type: Raw Score – code RS
Note: FORF and MAZE scores may be reported through the PMRN for all schools
serving grades 6-12 for the 2008-09 school year.
Report the following information for the MAZE:
Test Name code: MAZ
Test Publication Year: 2005
Test Subject Content code: Reading Comprehension – code 11
Test Form: A
Test Level: Grade level of student
Test Score Type: Raw Score – code RS
4. What information is needed to appropriately code a lexile or SRI score?
Report the following information:
?
Test Name code: SRI (Scholastic Reading Inventory)
?
Test Publication Year: 2006
?
Test Subject Content code: Reading Comprehension – code 09
?
Test Form: A
?
Test Level: Grade level of student
?
Test Score Type 1: Lexile Score (LX)
?
Test Score Type 2: National Percentile (NP)
?
Note: Districts are not required to report Lexile scores unless this is the progress
monitoring measure listed in your approved K-12 Comprehensive Reading Plan.
5. If Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) is being
administered, but schools chose not to report DIBELS data to the Progress
Monitoring and Reporting Network (PMRN), what data is required to be reported to
the Automated Student Data Base System?
Many elementary schools use DIBELS as their progress monitoring assessment. If
schools choose not to report their DIBELS data to the PMRN, they need to report it to
the Automated Student Data Base System in the same form they would if reporting to
the PMRN. This means schools will report all raw data from all administered DIBELS
subtests.
Following is a list of subtests and Test Subject Content codes that should be reported to
the Automated Student Data Base System by grade:
Kindergarten
Initial Sounds Fluency (Assessment 1, 2) – code DI
Letter Naming Fluency (Assessment 1, 2, 3) – code DL
Phoneme Segmentation Fluency (Assessment 2, 3) – code DP
Nonsense Word Fluency (Assessment 2, 3) – code DN
First Grade
Letter Naming Fluency (Assessment 1) – code DL
Phoneme Segmentation Fluency (Assessment 1, 2, 3) – code DP
Nonsense Word Fluency (Assessment 1, 2, 3) – code DN
Oral Reading Fluency (Assessment 1, 2, 3) – code DO
Second Grade
Nonsense Word Fluency (Assessment 1, 2, 3) – code DN
Oral Reading Fluency (Assessment 1, 2, 3) – code DO
Third Grade
Oral Reading Fluency (Assessment 1, 2, 3) – code DO
Fourth Grade
Oral Reading Fluency (Assessment 1, 2, 3) – code DO
Fifth Grade
Oral Reading Fluency (Assessment 1, 2, 3) – code DO
Reporting Reading Intervention Courses for Secondary Students
6. How do we report the enrollment of secondary students in reading intervention
classes?
All students in grades 6-10 scoring Level 1 or Level 2 and students in grades 11 and 12
who have not achieved a score of 1926 or higher on the FCAT in reading, must receive
reading intervention. All courses used for reading intervention (whether provided in a
reading course or a content area course) must be coded for these students using the
appropriate indicator code on the Reading Intervention Component element on the
Student Course Schedule format for the student. Note that this coding also applies to
sixth graders in the elementary setting.
Districts may use flexibility to provide reading intervention to students who have met the
graduation requirement in reading with a score of Level 2 on FCAT Reading (or a
concordant score) as noted in Rule 6A-6.054(3)(e), FAC. This flexibility allows districts
to serve these students in a content area course and does not require the teacher of the
course to be reading endorsed, reading certified or to have completed Content Area
Reading Professional Development, but the teacher must be knowledgeable in providing
reading strategies. The new code “F” will be used to indicate that a district is using the
flexibility noted above to provide reading intervention and applies to students in grade
levels 11 and 12 only. A copy of this element is attached and may be accessed on the
web at http://www.fldoe.org/eias/dataweb/student_0809.asp.
This data element provides a method of determining the course in which a student’s
reading intervention is occurring, when an 11
th
or 12
th
grade student who has met
graduation requirements through a Level 2 or concordant score is being served in a
content area class.
Note: The following course codes must be used to provide reading intervention to
secondary students who are not receiving intervention through a content area course:
•
Grades 6-8
1000000 M/J INTENSIVE LANGUAGE ARTS
1000010 M/J INTENSIVE READING
1000020 M/J INTENSIVE READING & CAREER PLANNING
1002180 M/J DEVELOPMENTAL LANGUAGE ARTS THROUGH ESOL (MC)
7810020 READING: 6-8
•
Grades 9-12
1000400 INTENSIVE LANGUAGE ARTS
1000410 INTENSIVE READING
7910100 READING: 9-12
1002380 DEVELOPMENTAL LANGUAGE ARTS THROUGH ESOL
7910400 LIFE SKILLS READING: 9-12
7. Do we have to indicate whether a student is a fluent reader who requires one
period of reading intervention or a disfluent reader who requires additional
instructional time?
Yes. State Board Rule 6A-6.054 requires grades 6-12 students who are disfluent to
receive additional instructional time to work on fluency/decoding issues as well as
comprehension and vocabulary. Districts choose the assessment used to
determine fluency and set the cut-scores to distinguish fluent students from
disfluent students. In order to determine whether students are receiving
appropriate instruction, the fluency status of students must be reported. A new
data element (Reading Fluency) has been established so districts can report the
fluency status of students. For this element, a code of “F” will be used for fluent
students and “D” for disfluent students. A copy of this data element is attached
and may be accessed on the web at
http://www.fldoe.org/eias/dataweb/student_0809.asp.
Reporting Reading Intervention Courses for Elementary Students
8. How do we report students receiving intensive intervention at the elementary
level?
At the elementary level, a student not meeting grade level expectations, including
students scoring a Level 1 or Level 2 on FCAT, will receive daily immediate intensive
intervention. Students identified as having a reading deficiency are grouped and
regrouped based on their ongoing needs; therefore, as students make progress, their
needs for intensive intervention may change, and they may even move in and out of
intensive intervention.
For reporting purposes, once a student is identified as having a reading deficiency, the
course in which the student receives intensive intervention is coded using the
appropriate indicator code on the Reading Intervention Component element.
9. What course code would be used to capture the intensive intervention provided
to identified students?
At the elementary level, there are many courses in which students identified as having a
reading difficulty could receive intensive intervention. Students may be served in the
general education classroom or other setting where the intensive intervention is
provided.
For reporting purposes, once a student is identified as having a reading deficiency, the
course in which the student receives intensive intervention will need to be coded and
remain the same code for the entire school year, unless, of course, the setting changes.
The following are examples of courses that may apply:
5010050 Reading/Elementary
5010010 ESOL Elementary
5010040 Language Arts Elementary
5020020 Functional Basic Skills in Reading Elementary or an appropriate ESE course
Staff Status Reporting
10. How do we report the reading intervention teachers’ and reading/literacy
coaches’ status towards reading endorsement or K-12 reading certification?
All 6-12 teachers who are providing reading intervention through a reading course must
be working towards reading endorsement or K-12 reading certification. Teachers
providing reading intervention through a content area course in grades 6-12 must have
completed Content Area Reading Professional Development (CAR-PD) although they
may provide intervention during the practicum. The one exception is the sixth grade
teacher who is certified in elementary education and is teaching reading. That teacher is
s
highly qualified to teach reading to sixth grade students and does not need the reading
endorsement, K-12 reading certification, or CAR-PD.
For the 2008-09 school year, the progress of reading intervention teachers and
reading/literacy coaches towards reading endorsement or K-12 reading certification will
be entered into the Automated Staff Data Base System. State Board Rule 6A-6.053,
FAC now requires that reading/literacy coaches must be reading endorsed or K-12
certified in the area of reading, or working toward that status by completing a minimum
of two (2) reading endorsement competencies of sixty (60) in-service hours each or six
(6) semester hours of college coursework in reading per year. Reading intervention
teacher and reading/literacy coach progress must be reported in the six Reading
Endorsement Competency elements on the Staff Demographic Information format during
surveys 2 (October 2008), 3 (February 2009), and 5 (August 2009).
Please note that there is also a code for teachers who have completed Content Area
Reading Professional Development (CAR-PD) including the practicum. These teachers
should be coded C in each data element entitled Reading Endorsement Competency 1
through 6. Please code these
after
the teacher has completed the entire professional
development. These elements are located at the following link:
http://www.fldoe.org/eias/dataweb/student_0809.asp. The Reading Endorsement
Competency 1 element is attached for your convenience.
11. How do we report progress towards reading endorsement/K-12 reading
certification for reading/literacy coaches at the elementary level?
Reading/literacy coaches working towards reading endorsement or K-12 reading
certification must be reported through the Automated Staff Data Base System using the
six Reading Endorsement Competency elements. Reading/literacy coach progress
should be reported during surveys 2 (October 2008), 3 (February 2009), and 5 (August
2009).
12. How do we report elementary and secondary school teachers who are not
providing reading intervention?
All teachers not providing reading intervention should be coded Z - Not applicable for
each of the Reading Endorsement data elements. This would also include anyone who
is not an instructional employee or for any instructional staff member for whom this is not
required for/applicable.
