Situation
FAIR testing is mandated by the state of Florida. Originally, it was mandated on the secondary level for just FCAT Reading L1 and L2 students, therefore, all intensive reading (IR) teachers were trained to give the test. However, due to Differentiated Accountability Model, all FCAT Reading L3 students are mandated for testing and schools can test 100% of their students. Now, the testing is through Language Arts (LA) and the training must change.

Problem
Some LA teachers are also IR teachers and received training several months earlier. These teachers have a basic idea how FAIR operates, but need a refresher course. The rest of LA need full training, but cannot devote the time for a full 3-4 hour training session.

Solution
A combination of face-to-face and online instruction. FAIR Wiki
