by The News-Press

He touted that Florida students have made significant gains in English language arts and mathematics as a result of the statewide progressive monitoring system that was implemented five years ago.

The governor abolished the state’s former end-of-year Florida Statewide Assessment in 2021. In its place, the state implemented the Florida Assessment of Student Thinking, or FAST – progressive exams taken at the beginning, middle and end of each school year to track students’ progress toward goals.

Did your school make the grade in the new Florida Assessment of Student Thinking and statewide final exams?
