New NAEP accommodation and exclusion policy!

by -

At last! Here is is. NAEP’s new policy.

(NAEP’s NEW accommodation and exclusion policy for students with disabilities and English language learners)

Let’s hope it is implemented consistently and leads to valid results on the National Assessment of Educational Progress, the ‘nation’s report card.’

As a member of the expert panel for students with disabilities, I am gratified that the work is nearing completion. This new policy will lead to consistent results and is consistent with students’ Individualized Education Programs.
