NCEO - Brief #2 - Developing Common Accommodations Policies: Discussion Points for Consortia

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 accommodations policies. It presents information that shows the variability in use of accommodations and policies across the states within each Consortium. The Brief identifies ways to address the different perspectives on accommodations that underlie this variability, and provides several questions for the Consortia to use as discussion points as they develop their common accommodations policies.
