How will the North Carolina Writing Assessment System involve students with disabilities?
• The Writing Assessment System is designed to ensure access for students with disabilities. Students may use approved accommodations to create and submit their responses. Students who meet the eligibility requirements for the NCEXTEND2 assessments will have the same writing tasks/assignments as the General assessment with grade-level modifications. Students who meet the eligibility requirements for the NCEXTEND1 and NCCLAS assessments will not participate in the Writing Assessment System Pilot, but these students will be administered the NCCLAS or NCEXTEND1 in its current form. Results of the 2008-2009 NCEXTEND1 and NCCLAS writing assessments at grades 4 and 7 will not be used for any level of accountability.
