What are the options for assessment for students enrolled in Grades 3-10 who receive special education services?
A student should take TAKS if he or she receives TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills) instruction on grade level and needs no accommodations that would invalidate the test. A student should take SDAA II if he or she receives TEKS instruction on grade level and needs accommodations that would invalidate TAKS, or if he or she receives TEKS instruction below grade level and needs no accommodations that would invalidate SDAA II. A student should take an LDAA if the student is not receiving TEKS instruction, or if the student is receiving TEKS instruction but needs accommodations that would invalidate SDAA II.
