Class
The ideal situation is for all
students to
be educated together
The classroom a
student sits
in does NOT dictate the type of
courses they takeStudents in a general education classroom may be enrolled in access courses and students in a separate environment may be enrolled in general education courses
Course
For students who are now in the 11th grade and below, there are only two course choices for core subjects: general education courses and access courses Both are based on the same standards, but the level of complexity is very differentOnly students on access points can take access courses Access points are only for students with a significant cognitive disability and parental consent is required

FSAA-Datafolio Overview
Eligible
students are those 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 2017 FSAASlide28
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 progress2017 FSAASlide29
