NCEO - Brief #3 - Participation Guidelines for New Assessments: Thinking Through Their Development

2012

One in a series of briefs for the Race to the Top Assessment Consortia, addressing the opportunities, resources, and challenges that cross-state collaborative assessment efforts face as they include students with disabilities and English language learners. This Brief addresses the need for the Consortia to develop shared assessment participation criteria for students with disabilities, English language learners (ELLs), and ELLs with disabilities. It presents information that shows the variability in member state assessment participation rates and criteria. This Brief also identifies ways to address the perspectives underlying variability in participation rates and the questions that Consortia may need to ask as they develop their common participation criteria.
