This professional learning opportunity was developed to promote the understanding and appropriate use of test accommodations for students with disabilities. The training is intended to provide information related to the decision-making process and types of test accommodations, as well as the documentation of appropriate accommodations on the individualized education program (IEP). This training is intended for administrators, general and special education teachers, psychologists, social workers and guidance counselors.
Participants will:
• know the purpose of test accommodations.
• define test accommodations.
• understand their role in supporting a student with their test accommodations.
• recognize that instructional accommodations used in the classroom should be aligned with the testing accommodations provided during assessment.
