Description

A report examining states that are transitioning to college- and career-ready standards-driven assessments to prepare all K-12 students, including students with disabilities, English language learners (ELLs) with disabilities, and ELLs, for post-school success. Many states are collaborating through consortia of states to develop general assessments, alternate assessments based on alternate achievement standards (AA-AAS), or assessments of English language proficiency (ELP). This report from the Institute’s National Center on Educational Outcomes (NCEO) provides a snapshot of the new initiatives, trends, accomplishments, and emerging issues for states and consortia during this important period of education reform in relation to the academic achievement of students with disabilities. Its findings come from responses to NCEO’s survey of state directors of special education and state directors of assessment in all 50 regular states and from 8 of the 11 unique states. This survey has been conducted for more than two decades, and among the findings from this year were that states were cognizant of the benefits of inclusive assessment and accountability systems, and continued to improve assessment design, participation, accessibility and accommodations policies, monitoring practices, and data reporting. States also identified key areas of need for technical assistance to facilitate the implementation of next generation assessments. Published by NCEO.
