DESCRIPTION:
This book provides clear and balanced coverage of research, practice, and policy. "Bolt and Roach have deep knowledge of the options for including students with disabilities in large-scale assessments. This book would make an excellent supplementary text for a course on assessing students with special needs. Chapters on universal design and general curriculum access also provide a link between assessment and instruction. Educators will find it to be an excellent resource for professional development."--Diane Browder, PhD, College of Education, University of North Carolina at Charlotte
Practical and user friendly, the book includes up-to-date information on policy mandates, detailed case studies, and reproducibles. The authors also outline strategies, including universal design principles for instruction and assessment, to ensure that students with diverse needs are given access to the general education curriculum. This important book provides step-by-step guidelines for choosing appropriate accommodations and alternative testing practices for students with mild to severe disabilities as well as English language learners. Practitioners need reliable methods for accurately measuring the progress of all K-12 students in district- and statewide assessments--including those students who face obstacles to ordinary testing. The large-size format and lay-flat binding facilitate photocopying.This book is in The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series.
