A new field has been added to the Assessment Participation section of the IEP.
This new field is a way for case managers to confirm that the accommodations that are checked in for assessment participation align with the Program Modifications/Accommodations that are used on a daily basis in the classroom.
The accommodations that are used for state testing must be accommodations that students are familiar with and that they are using on a regular basis. This new field will eventually be added into the error check routine for IEPs, and the data will be cleared on an annual basis. At each annual IEP review, the team should be verifying that the accommodations that are checked for use during testing are the same or similar to those that are listed in the program mods/accoms section of the IEP.
For students who are not subject to state testing (grades PK-2 or students who have passed the HSGQE), you can check the N/A option.
