ESAR Administration to Begin Nov. 13
The ESAR is a career readiness measure for the postsecondary readiness indicator of the Kentucky accountability system administered to students participating in alternative high school diploma courses of study or alternate assessment and working towards career readiness. The ESAR is a rating scale that assesses student demonstration of skills linked to the Employability and Foundational Academic Standards-Alternate Assessment (EFAS-AA). The ESAR qualification quiz is available beginning Nov. 13 and will remain open until Dec. 22. The Qualified ESAR Administrator must pass the qualification quiz before ESAR administration begins. Administration of the ESAR must be completed by May 24, 2024. Due to data reporting timelines, the deadline to enter all ESAR scores into the Career Ready Database (CRD) is May 31, 2024.
