06:07	Driving remedial that are focused on addressing individual students is
06:11	weaker . Areas with supplemental study resources is also easier
06:16	. With these programs , F S A test reports
06:22	maps student performance to five levels . Level one is
06:26	inadequate . Students in this group have a high requirement
06:30	of substantial support to move forward into the next grade
06:35	. Level two is below satisfactory . Students here also
06:39	need a substantial support to move to the next grade
06:43	. Level three is satisfactory . Students here may need
06:47	additional support for the next grade . Level four is
06:51	proficient . Students in this group are likely to excel
06:55	in the next grade . At level five is mastery
06:59	. Students in this category are highly likely to excel
07:03	in the next grade . The lowest score in Level
07:06	three is the passing score for each grade level and
07:10	subject . The following are the announced dates for the
07:16	2021 Florida standards Assessments for Grade three reading and grades

07:29	3 to 8 . Mathematics April 5th through the 15th
07:33	2021 due to Covid 19 and the testing policies .
07:42	Schools need proctors to ensure completion of on site and
07:46	online testing schedules , while proctors are not required in
07:50	rooms where 25 or fewer students are being tested ,
07:53	Florida Department of Education strongly encourages the use of Proctor's
07:58	in all test administrations to help reduce testing irregularities and
08:03	provide support . School personnel and non school personnel may
08:08	be trained as proctors . Prior to testing , Proctor's
08:12	must be informed of their duties , test security policies
08:15	and procedures . School personnel proctors will prepare and distribute
08:21	secure materials and provide necessary accommodations . Non school personnel
08:26	assist test administrators during testing , but they are not
08:30	to participate in any of the test administration procedures ,
08:34	such as distributing and collecting secure materials , providing accommodations
08:39	, et cetera . Volunteers . For example . Parents
08:43	retired teachers may be trained as proctors and may perform
08:47	non school personnel duties . All proctors may help monitor
08:51	rooms during test administration . However , they may not
08:55	assist in rooms where their family members are testing .
08:59	We hope this was helpful . It is now time
09:02	for our Q and A sections . Feel free to
09:04	share your questions in the comments . Thank you for
09:07	joining us today in our ed short session on 2021
09:11	Florida State tests . We will return soon with more
