Are all state assessment and accountability systems consistent with the requirements of No Child Left Behind?
No Child Left Behind requires states to develop plans for assessment and accountability that involve, among other things, a commitment to include students with disabilities in assessments and in accountability determinations. The U.S. Department of Education has approved the accountability plans for all fifty states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, and is working to develop specific policies and determine best practices for including students with disabilities in assessments and accountability. Some of the issues involved, such as standards, assessment accommodations, and alternate assessments, are discussed in this paper.
