| 5 | (f) By September 1, 2011 2009, the department shall |
| 6 | approve and a district may select acceptable premethods and |
| 7 | postmethods for measuring student learning gains, including |
| 8 | standardized assessments, diagnostic assessments, criterion- |
| 9 | referenced and skills-based assessments, or other applicable |
| 10 | methods appropriate for each grade level, for use by |
| 11 | supplemental educational services providers and local school |
| 12 | districts in determining student learning gains. Each method |
| 13 | must be able to measure student progress toward mastering the |
| 14 | benchmarks or access points set forth in the Sunshine State |
| 15 | Standards and the student's supplemental educational services |
| 16 | plan. The use of a diagnostic and assessment instrument, which |
| 17 | is aligned to a provider's curriculum, is an acceptable |
| 18 | premethod and postmethod if the provider can demonstrate that |
| 19 | the assessment meets the requirements in this paragraph and is |
| 20 | not deemed unreliable or invalid by the department. |
