Sign-in Name Password HOME GENERAL EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES > INFORMATION ABOUT THE FCAT What is the FCAT? The Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test, or FCAT, is a standardized test given to public school students in Florida. FCAT scores offer teachers and administrators a way to measure student achievement in math and reading. The Florida Department of Education developed the FCAT to help ensure that children in Florida receive an education that will prepare them to meet the challenges of a changing world and workplace. The FCAT is meant to be challenging. It tests the student’s ability to think through problems rather than simply to memorize information. The FCAT is made up of multiple choice questions and open-response questions called "performance tasks." What is the best way to prepare children for the FCAT? Active participation in your child’s education is the best way to help your child prepare for the FCAT. Meeting with teachers, monitoring homework assignments, and reading with your child are all excellent ways to get involved.

Both of those concerns are legitimate, and both are closely related to alcohol and other drugs, whether used by the student or by their fellow students. So parents deserve to know what schools are doing to curb alcohol and other drug use, and college administrators must be prepared to answer tough questions about their alcohol and other drug prevention policies and programs.

FOR RELEASE: September 28, 2001 News Media Contact: Melinda Malico Program Office: Daisy Greenfield U.S. Department of Education Announces $11. 7 Million in Support for Parent Education Resource Centers in 19 States U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige today announced that nonprofit organizations working with school districts in 19 states will receive a total of $11.7 million to set up local parent information and resource centers in communities across the nation. "If we are to leave no child behind and offer each child a high-quality education, parents must be actively involved in their child's learning," Paige said. "We know that early childhood learning activities can help to close the achievement gap between economically disadvantaged children and their peers. To help all of our children read and learn well these centers can help share this and other valuable information with parents and teachers." States and territories that received new grants to establish centers include Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Guam, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Washington
