1)What are the available designated supports and accommodations for students? Accessibility and Accommodations

2) How do I ensure that students receive their assigned designated supports and accommodations within the test delivery system (embedded) as well as those beyond the test delivery system (non-embedded)? Accessibility and Accommodations

It is important to note that the way to access these tools and how these tools present on your screen may vary slightly depending on the test delivery system used in your state. Accessibility and Accommodations

What Are Designated Supports?

Defined Designated supports for the Smarter Balanced assessments are those resources that are available for use by any student for whom the need has been indicated by an educator or team of educators with parent/guardian and student. Assigning a designated support does not require documentation of need in an IEP or 504 plan. It is recommended that a consistent process be used to determine these supports for individual students. Designated supports need to be identified and assigned in the Administration and Registration Tools (ART) or your state’s registration system, prior to assessment administration. Students should be familiar with using the designated supports assigned to them. DefinedDecisions

What Are Designated Supports? Decisions Informed adults make decisions about these designated supports. Ideally, the decisions are made by educators familiar with the student’s needs, as well as those supports that the student has been using during instruction and for other assessments. Student and parent/guardian participation in the decision, particularly for older students, is also recommended. Decisions Defined

What Are Accommodations ?

Accommodations are changes in procedures or materials that increase equitable access during the Smarter Balanced assessments. Assessment accommodations generate valid assessment results for students who need them; they allow these students to show what they know and can do. Smarter Balanced states have identified accommodations for students for whom there is a documented need for the accommodation(s) on an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or 504 accommodation plan or special circumstance, such as the example of the broken arm. Accommodations Accommodations Continued

What Are Accommodations? IEP teams, educators, and parents/guardians make decisions about accommodations. These teams (or educators for 504 plans) provide evidence of the need for accommodations and ensure that they are noted on the IEP or 504 plan. School staff are responsible for ensuring that information from the IEP is entered into ART or your state’s registration system, so that all embedded accommodations can be activated prior to testing. Smarter Balanced suggests the use of ISAAP or tool similar to ISAAP when making decisions. However, the ISAAP tool is not a replacement for an IEP/504 plan. Accommodations Accommodations Continued
