  2. Individual/Small Group 10/13/2011 TETN #10416/11/18/11 #10417 TEA Student Assessment Division

  3. Accommodation-Specific Policy For each type of accommodation, the following color-coded information is available through the links in the Accommodation Triangle: • Description of Accommodation • Assessments on which it may be used • Student Eligibility Criteria • Authority for Decision and Required Documentation • Examples/Types • Special Instructions/Considerations • Student Scenarios (if applicable)

  4. Supplemental Aids • Description of Accommodation Supplemental aids are paper-based resources that assist a student in recalling information. • Assessments STAAR, STAAR Spanish, STAAR Modified, STAAR L

  5. Supplemental Aids • Student Eligibility Criteria • Special education only • Routinely, independently, & effectively used • Has a disability that affects memory retrieval, focus, or organization and is severe enough to prevent student from learning and retaining information as effectively as non-disabled peers despite multiple opportunities to learn, varied instructional strategies, and high-quality instruction. 10/13/2011 TETN #10416/11/18/11 #10417 TEA Student Assessment Division

  6. Supplemental AidsExamples/Types • This accommodation may ONLY include • Mnemonic devices, blank graphic organizers • Graphics of scientific concepts WITHOUT titles, words, labels, acronyms, mnemonics, symbols, or variables. Colors are considered labels. • Formula triangles representing relation- ships between variables may be used. Only formulas that appear on the appropriate state-supplied reference materials may be represented. The triangles may only include variables; e.g., a triangle showing the relationship between mass, density, and volume can only contain the variables m, D, and V. Symbols for mathematical operations (e.g., x, +) are NEVER allowed. 10/13/2011 TETN #10416/11/18/11 #10417 TEA Student Assessment Division

  7. Supplemental AidsExamples/Types • This is an exhaustive list. • No other supplemental aids are allowed. • Be sure to read the complete accommodation policy for guidelines regarding labeling and other details on the Accommodations Triangle. 10/13/2011 TETN #10416/11/18/11 #10417 TEA Student Assessment Division

  8. Supplemental Aids • Special Instructions/Considerations Be sure to read this section in the Accommodations Triangle for other related information and security requirements, 10/13/2011 TETN #10416/11/18/11 #10417 TEA Student Assessment Division

  9. Want additional supplemental aids? • For the 2011-2012 school year, these lists represent what eligible students can use. • TEA will not accept ARFs for additional supplemental aids. • TEA encourages feedback from educators about supplemental aids that can be added to the lists for future years. This will be requested after spring testing. 10/13/2011 TETN #10416/11/18/11 #10417 TEA Student Assessment Division

  10. Calculation Devices • Description of Accommodation This accommodation provides an alternate method of computation for a student who is unable to effectively use paper-and-pencil methods. • Assessments STAARGrades 5 and 8 science tests STAAR Spanish grade 5 science test STAAR Modified grades 5 and 8 science tests STAAR L grades 5 and 8 science tests 10/13/2011 TETN #10416/11/18/11 #10417 TEA Student Assessment Division

  11. Calculation Devices • Student Eligibility Criteria • Special education or Section 504 • Routinely, independently, & effectively uses this accommodation during classroom instruction and testing • Meets at least one of the following for the applicable grade (see next slide) 10/13/2011 TETN #10416/11/18/11 #10417 TEA Student Assessment Division

  12. Calculation Devices Student Eligibility Criteria continued • Grades 5 and 8: The student has • a physical disability that prevents student from independently writing the numbers required for computations and cannot effectively use other allowable materials to address this need (e.g., whiteboard, graph paper). • an impairment in vision that prevents student from seeing the numbers he/she has written during computations and cannot effectively use other allowable materials to address this need (e.g., magnifier). • has a disability that affects math calculations. Even after intensive instruction and remediation, the student is consistently unable to memorize basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division facts or perform the steps in an algorithm correctly when solving problems. 10/13/2011 TETN #10416/11/18/11 #10417 TEA Student Assessment Division

  13. Calculation Devices Reminder • Required for STAAR, STAAR Modified, and STAAR L biology, and STAAR and STAAR L chemistry and physics. • Not an accommodation for these tests 10/13/2011 TETN #10416/11/18/11 #10417 TEA Student Assessment Division

  14. Calculation Devices Examples/Types • This accommodation may ONLY include • Four-function calculator • Scientific calculator • Graphing calculator • Large-key calculator • Abacus or Cranmer modified abacus • Audio-graphing calculator • Speech output calculator • This is an exhaustive list. • No other calculators are allowed. 10/13/2011 TETN #10416/11/18/11 #10417 TEA Student Assessment Division

  15. Oral/Signed Administration • Description of Accommodation This accommodation allows a test administrator to provide reading support, through speech or signing, to a student with a disability. • Assessments STAAR, STAAR Spanish, STAAR Modified, & STAAR L • Test questions and answer choices may be read aloud to eligible students for all science tests (grades 5 and 8, biology, chemistry and physics) 10/13/2011 TETN #10416/11/18/11 #10417 TEA Student Assessment Division

  16. Oral/Signed Administration • Student Eligibility Criteria • Routinely and effectively used • Meets at least one of the following: • The student receives special education services and is identified with dyslexia or has evidence of reading difficulties • The student receives Section 504 services and is identified with dyslexia or has evidence of reading difficulties. • The student does not receive special education or Section 504 services but is identified with dyslexia. 10/13/2011 TETN #10416/11/18/11 #10417 TEA Student Assessment Division

  17. Oral AdministrationExamples/Types • TWO levels of reading support: • Reading parts of the test questions and/or answer choices at student request • Reading all test questions and answer choices throughout the test • For science, all words in the test questions and answer choices can be read aloud including words in graphics such as tables, charts, graphs, diagrams, photographs, etc.) 10/13/2011 TETN #10416/11/18/11 #10417 TEA Student Assessment Division
