Review

In this module you learned ...

• Ensuring ELLs with disabilities are participating in the proper assessments results in a more valid measure of what they know and can do.
• The Common Core State Standards (CCSS), adopted in 2010, poses both challenges and benefits to ELLs with disabilities.
• Alternate assessments are intended for students with significant cognitive disabilities and most ELLs with disabilities are not appropriate candidates for alternative assessments.
• Most ELLs with disabilties should participate in the general assessment (with or without accommodations).
• Participation decisions should be made by a collaborative team which should consider a variety of factors relating to the student, test versions, state guidelines, curriculum, the purpose of the assessment and the consequences of any decisions made about the student.
