For IEP students, the reading and math tests can be administered orally. Results for all students tested are included in regular reports. IEP and LEP students must pass the grade 10 test to earn a diploma. Bias review procedures planned for the new assessments appear to be adequate. As LEA's determine inclusion, it is difficult to know the extent of participation by IEP or LEP students.
Accommodations appear adequate.
The state should also report data by gender. Print and video materials for professional development are available to educators. All the state's professional development efforts focus on the standards, and many will involve using assessments based on the standards. Schools are surveyed about their use of the standards. Professional development is focused on state standards and the inadequate new state assessments.
