Product Description:
In April 2007, Federal No Child Left Behind regulations were finalized that provided states with additional flexibility for assessing some students with disabilities. The regulations allowed states to offer another assessment option, alternate assessments based on modified academic achievement standards (AA-MAS). States are not required to have this assessment. According to the regulations, this option is for a small number of students with Individual Education Programs (IEPs) who even with appropriate grade level academic instruction are unlikely to reach grade-level proficiency within the year covered by an IEP. The National Center on Educational Outcomes (NCEO) has been tracking and analyzing the characteristics of states' AA-MAS since 2007. This is the second annual update.
