What proportion of the students can take the WAAS-Portfolio, and how are the results used in AYP determinations?
There is no limit to the number of students taking the WAAS-Portfolio. IEP teams must use the guidelines to make appropriate assessment decisions for the individual student. However, ED has put limitations on the percentage of students that can be considered proficient via an alternate set of standards at the district and state levels (there is no limit at the school level). In each content area and grade, only 1% of all students assessed can be counted as proficient on the Portfolio.
