An IEP is required to state how a student is to be tested for English proficiency, not if a student is to be tested for English proficiency. A student’s IEP team can determine that the student is severely disabled and that an alternate assessment is to be used for all or any portion of the CELDT or that a student is to be assessed with the CELDT using appropriate accommodations or modifications. IEPs must list accommodations, modifications, or alternative assessment for any or all sections L, S, R, and W. IEP teams should consult the Special Education Accommodations/Modifications Matrix for California Statewide Assessments to determine specific testing variations. The matrix is located on the CDE Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sa/documents/matrix5.pdf.
