Access PointsAccess Points
Demonstrate math activities around the
Sunshine State Standards (SSS) access points.
Define and locate access points
Who were access points developed for?
Access points, alternate assessment and AYP
Demonstrate Communication Action PlanCommunication Action Plan for math activities based on SSS access points
A restatement of the SSS benchmark that Captures the core intent of the benchmark Describes a different level of complexity
The SSS benchmark is the same across grade levels
The same skill is applied to materials of increasing difficulty level.
Accommodations (not stated – are provided)
What is an Access Point?What is an Access Point?
“Access points were developed withthree levels of complexity for studentsto ensure that all, even those students withthe most significant cognitive disabilities,have access to the Sunshine State
Standards.The three levels of complexity areIndependent, Supported, and Participatory.”

Only ESE students with significantcognitive disabilities (who meet
FCATexemption criteria) should be
testedon alternate assessment.

Failure to test students on statewide alternate assessment will impact
your schools AYP and may contribute to your District being slighted on the
standard performance plan indicators which could ultimately
lead to loss of funding.
