  11. What’s Being Assessed? • Populations assessed: • Participation • Supported Independence • Functional Independence

  12. What’s Being Assessed? • Content areas assessed for each population: • English Language Arts (Grade 11) • Mathematics (Grade 11) • Science (Grade 11)

  16. Participation • Students who have, or function as if they have, severe or profound cognitive impairment

  17. Participation • Expected to require extensive ongoing support in adulthood and may have significant cognitive and/or physical impairments that limit their ability to generalize or transfer learning • Dependent on others for most, if not all, daily living needs

  18. Participation • The instructional approach for these students targets opportunities for them to integrate into age-appropriate tasks, activities related to daily living skills, and academic content

  19. Supported Independence • Students who have, or function as if they have, moderate cognitive impairment

  20. Supported Independence • Will require ongoing support in major life roles and may have cognitive and/or physical impairments that limit their ability to generalize or transfer learning

  21. Supported Independence • Instructional approach is direct, in context, and targeted toward specific, essential independent living and academic skills

  22. Supported Independence • Working toward mastering daily living and employment routines and an acceptable level of independent living

  33. Item Types and Formats • Observation/Activity • Many items use an activity-based observation format • Paper and pencil tests aren’t appropriate

  38. Picture Cards • Picture cards are presented in very specific ways • Read manual sections on the different presentation styles • Watch presentation styles in online learning program

  39. Selected-response • Two reasons for picture cards: 1. Not practical for students to look at pictures in an assessment booklet.
