EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The consultant will also proofread each individual Braille cell in all grade levels and subject areas of the 2009 Braille version of the FCAT and the FCAT Sample Tests. Proofreading ensures that the six-dot cells are formed properly and Braille Authority of North America’s format rules have been followed. Specialized requirements developed by the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) Office of Assessment and School Performance in the document titled “Connecting the Dots” must also be integrated.
In collaboration with FIMC-VI, the consultant with Keyboard Consultants has successfully performed these item reviews and proofreading functions to the satisfaction of FDOE for the past eight years.
