Increase communication and collaboration with CFAC Districts. Implement effective naming protocols to facilitate item
identification on the Florida Item Bank. Limit item writers to develop 10 items at a time. Clean-out item writer sign-up sheets periodically. Provide detailed feedback to writers of rejected items. Improve item reviewer chain of command protocols.
Level 2 (Bias/Sensitivity) and Level 3 (Proofreaders) will not reject items on the basis of content or complexity level. If there is an issue that arises, reviewers are to notify a project manager for resolution.
