What we know about the newly revised Alternate
Assessment…
It has a new name! Alternate Assessment for Students with Significant Cognitive Disabilities
Decision Framework is the same as previous years
No longer a collection of evidence. It is an assessment to be completed within a window of time.
Staff must attend training at the ESC this winter in order to be a “Test Administrator”
Ethics of the assessment are of the utmost importance
The Assessment is all in the presentation…
How do you present your lessons and instruction to students? Are you scaffolding in the say / do format?
Here is a ____.Look at / touch the ___.
You have a choice of directives…
“Show me” or “Tell me”… it’s up to you!
Make a choice about how your student best responds and be consistent with that mode of response.
“Tell me”The child responds
verbally with their response
“Show me”The student responds
physically with the response mode that works
for them
Just remember…
It’s up to you to decide which response mode you want your student to use.
Then practice, practice, practice your delivery style in as many ways as possible.
Instruct your Instructional Paraprofessionals on the delivery mode and have them practice in ALL settings!
It’s all about your style and the
student’s response mode
