Good Afternoon, Colleagues!
Attached please find a chart on test accommodations from the Department. This chart will help teachers select the appropriate categories on the student page of their students' NYSAA datafolios. The chart provides several types of test accommodations that may be found on students' Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and used in the administration of the assessment. Remember, teachers are already using these accommodations. This chart serves as a resource to assist teachers in their determination of the categories to check off on the student page in the datafolio.
Please share this chart with all of your colleagues and teachers.
Additional information on test accommodations can be found at the web links below.
