Office of Vocational and Educational Services for Individuals with Disabilities A step-by-step approach that improves student learning!Amendments added to the 1997 Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) mandated that districts and states include students with disabilities in state and district-wide assessments, and report on their performance. In Improving Test Performance of Students With Disabilities, Elliott and Thurlow, nationally recognized assessment experts in the field of special education, outline how schools can improve student test performance, and improve learning as a result. Emphasizing practical application, the authors move step-by-step through different approaches to improving the performance of students with disabilities, providing:
  • An exploration of standards-based instruction for students with disabilities

  • Tips for accurate and effective documentation
  • Checklists, worksheets, and fact sheets for tracking student progress and improving performance
  • A valuable professional development resource section with real-world activities
  • Key points about assessment, decision-making, and instruction
  • Topic-specific Internet sites
  • National and regional networks for technical assistance and resource dissemination
All district and school professionals, including IEP teams and teachers, will find this an essential resource for helping students improve learning, and benefit from their inclusion in assessment and accountability systems.
