Students with disabilities in identified grades are required to participate in the statewide assessment program for their age appropriate grade. Individualized Education Program (IEP) teams must determine the accommodations or modifications a student will need to effectively participate in the assessment process. Any identified accommodations or modifications must be based on assessed need and regularly used in the classroom. The state allows three levels of accommodations or modifications on the STAR program. These are A. Variation (1) (e.g., special lighting or adaptive furniture) = Eligible students may have testing variations if regularly used in the classroom. B. Accommodation (2) (e.g., student marks in test booklet; proctor transfers responses to scorable answer document) = Eligible students shall be permitted to take the examination with accommodations if specified in the eligible student’s IEP or Section 504 Plan for use on the examination, standardized testing, or for use during classroom instruction and assessment. C. Modification (3) (e.g., use of calculator on math or science portions, word processing software on essay portions) = Eligible students shall be permitted to take the CAHSEE with modifications if specified in the eligible student’s IEP or section 504 Plan for use on the examination, standardized testing, or for use during classroom instruction and assessment. The California Department of Education (CDE) provides an annual Matrix of Test Variations, Accommodations, and Modifications. More... |
