Assessment of and Accountability for Students with Disabilities: Putting Theory into Practice.
Elliott, Judy
Inclusive assessment and accountability for all students with disabilities has been a significant focus of educators for the past six years. Yet only 35 states reported 1999-2000 test results for students with disabilities on some of their state assessments. Although the areas of assessment and accountability are just one focus of IDEA 1997 and the recently passed No Child Left Behind Act, they still are an important foundation for providing equal access and opportunity to learn for all students, including students with disabilities. Most important, these areas provide the foundation on which improved curriculum and instruction can be built. This chapter looks briefly at some of the realities of the implementation of inclusive assessment and accountability from the school district perspective. (GCP)
