How are alternate assessments developed?
There are no clear-cut solutions to the issues inherent in developing developmentally appropriate assessments for student with disabilities who are unable to participate in the statewide assessments, even with accommodations. Measured Progress proposes strategies to state education departments that tackle and attempt to solve these issues. The process of activity helps states create the types of assessments needed, permits these assessments to be used in the state without raising undue concerns, and reaches the goal of participation of all students. Even students with the most significant disabilities can be served. Among the most crucial issues to be addressed in developing an alternate assessment is the development of a philosophy or set of assumptions that will guide the entire development process.
