Monday August 5, 2024 9:35am - 10:20am EDT

Many administrators encounter special education classrooms on the extended content standards in their buildings with little training and understanding on what these classrooms consist of. There is unique content, methodology, and setting within these classrooms. This PD will allow administrators to understand what to expect in those classrooms, what the curriculum looks like, and how to support teacher and students in these settings.

Alternate Assessment Eligibility Worksheet and Alternate Assessment Assurance - What? Why? Where? How? So many questions!!
Monday August 5, 2024 11:40am - 12:25pm EDT
337
To guide and support IEP teams in determining whether a student is most appropriately instructed towards alternate academic achievement standards and assessed with an alternate assessment, the NCDPI, in consultation with stakeholders, has developed an Alternate Assessment Eligibility and Alternate Assessment Assurance Worksheets found in ECATS. This tool clarifies and requires IEP team members to have meaningful discussions around student data and evaluations, to make the most informed decision for the student’s course of study. This tool is required for IEP teams to use within ECATS in the special factors section of the IEP when discussing the Extended Content Standards pathway. Join us in answering the questions of "What does this mean? Why is it required? Where do we find the data? How do I have these conversations?" Learn how to facilitate data driven decisions for ECS students by utilizing this new tool at your IEP meetings.
