Slide 1
It's proven that increased parental involvement in a student's education results in increased student achievement.
Slide 3
The original FCAT test was based on Sunshine State standards. The new FCAT 2.0 is a more challenging test
Slide 4
Prior knowledge & experiences: i.e. in math, student learned basic shapes in Kindergarten, but in third grade s/he may be asked to find the perimeter of those shapes using properties learned in Kindergarten.
Vocabulary: In all content areas the students will need to use vocabulary such as compare, contrast, concept word that should be part of their daily activities. First, middle, last, increasing, decreasing, and adjectives that describe.
Inference: Water is boiling so it must be hot, the front of the book has a picture of the ocean..book must be about the ocean.
Compare/Contrast: Be able to identify things that are the same and different. For example between 2 passages or 2 geometric shapes.
Slide 5
End of Course exams are given at the end of each course, regardless of whether they are in middle or high school.
Slide 7
While the quantity stays relatively the same the difficulty increases.
Slide 8
In high school math and science credit courses, EOC exams will be given instead of FCAT.
Slide 9
Most of these tests over 1 hour in duration are given over a 2 day span.
Slide 10
You may see a topic repeated in more than one year… The subtopics are different and if a student misses a lot of school during a year they will miss a topic that is covered during that year and is not taught again and used as a building block for a higher skill.
Slide 11
These topics and their data can be obtained in the parent report and on school system data sources.
Slide 12
While these science skills are tested in grades 5 and 8 – the skills are taught beginning in kindergarten.
Slide 18
even if student stays at the same level , they may have made a lot of growth. Achievement Level Descriptions (ALDs) outline the specific student expectations at each grade and subject for each of the five Achievement Levels. ALDs available at http://fcat.fldoe.org/fcat2/alds.asp
Slide 19
Most important score of the three for parents to look at because it shows growth. Look at the DSS scores between the previous and current year to determine growth.
Slide 20
Scale score will be reported on the parent report, but not as useful as the achievement level and developmental scale scores. Scale scores are developed first, then the DSS were developed to examine growth from one grade to the next.
Slide 21
Teachers DO NOT only use FCAT data when planning and evaluating students. It is just one piece of info

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
