Project Description:
Complaints about too much testing sometimes turn into discussions about all the testing associated with special education services. Students receiving special education are a group of students for whom a special set of assessments may be used. It is important to understand who students with disabilities are and the assessments that are required for these students when addressing questions about too much testing. This purpose of this project is to write a paper that will provide guidance to school districts about how to take stock of the assessments that students with disabilities are taking, and ensuring that they are taking only the assessments that serve the most essential. It will include recommendations about how to include special education in a comprehensive assessment system and avoid concerns about too much testing for students with disabilities who receive special education services.
