Making Decisions about the Inclusion of Students with Disabilities in Large-Scale Assessments: A Report on a Working Conference To Develop Guidelines on Inclusion and Accommodations. Synthesis Report 13.
Ysseldyke, James E.; And Others
This report is a summary of a March 1994 meeting to agree on guidelines for making inclusion and accommodation decisions concerning students with disabilities in national and state large-scale assessments. Much of the discussion at the meeting focused on the National Assessment of Educational Progress. Factors that lead to the exclusion of students with disabilities are pointed out, and the importance of inclusion is noted. Fifteen major points made during the meeting are presented. Based on those points, recommendations are then offered for making inclusion decisions, for making accommodation decisions, and for monitoring. Five actions are suggested for moving forward toward inclusion and accommodation. Appendixes contain a list of meeting participants and observers, guidelines provided to participants prior to the meeting to stimulate discussion, a checklist for decision making, and a list of proposed research questions.
