MAKING DECISIONS ABOUT STATEWIDE ASSESSMENT ACCOMMODATIONS 1. Accommodations should facilitate an accurate demonstration of what the student knows or can do. 2. Accommodations should not provide the student with an unfair advantage or interfere with the validity of a test; accommodations must not change the underlying skills that are being measured by the test. 3. Accommodations must be the same or nearly the same as those needed and used by the student in completing classroom instruction and assessment activities. 4. Accommodations must be necessary for enabling the student to demonstrate knowledge, ability, skill or mastery. Page 11

How will the knowledge and skills be assessed on the statewide assessments? 3. What accommodations does the student need for statewide assessments? 4.

Accommodations Accommodations are changes or adjustments to standard instruction or assessment procedures or materials so that students with disabilities can participate meaningfully in educational programs. Accommodations for assessments should not introduce new or special circumstances during testing. Students routinely use the same kinds of accommodations in statewide assessment situations that they use in the classroom. Page 16
