ABOUT US
The Instructional Research and Accountability (IRA) Department is responsible for
providing data for both school-based and district personnel; parent, business,
and community organizations; and other educational agencies. The data are
used primarily to monitor the progress of both students and schools and to help
the classroom teacher focus in on those areas where students are in greatest
need of assistance.
In addition, the Instructional Research & Accountability Department is responsible for the
development, dissemination, and reporting of results of a variety of surveys
conducted within the district. These surveys include such instruments as
the Senior Plans Survey, the Principals' Customer Satisfaction Survey, and the
School Climate Survey, which is used to measure student, parent, and teacher
satisfaction with the programs and services offered by the schools.
The Testing Section oversees the distribution and administration of all state mandated
assessments such as the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT). In
addition, the Testing Department is responsible for the distribution,
administration, scoring, and reporting of all other district-wide assessments,
such as the Benchmarks and End-of-Course examinations.
