Download or read book The Inclusion of Students with Disabilities and Limited English Proficient Students in Large scale Assessments written by John F. Olson and published by Department of Education Office of Educational. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a compendium of approaches to the inclusion of students with disabilities or of Limited English Proficiency (LEP) in large-scale assessments such as the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) or state assessment programs. Chapter 1 presents an overview and lists organizations involved in this effort. Chapters 2 and 3 summarize inclusion activities and research projects related to increasing the participation of students with disabilities or LEP, respectively, in assessments. Information on the different types of accommodations used around the nation is included. Chapter 4 presents details of the approaches and procedures implemented by NAEP in recent years, focusing on the implementation of an NAEP-like assessment in Puerto Rico in 1994, the national field test in 1995 of revised procedures, and the implementation of new inclusion and accommodation procedures in the 1996 NAEP. In Chapter 5, a listing of the status of ongoing research projects studying varying aspects of the use of new procedures for NAEP is included, with a discussion of yet-to-be-resolved technical issues and future directions for NAEP and large-scale assessments in general. Appendices list acronyms, define key terms, and identify further resources. (Contains 112 references.) (DB)

This book was released on 2003 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper initially describes the sources of uncertainty in National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) data and standard errors. As NAEP sample sizes have increased, greater precision has been attained by the program. For this reason, exclusion effects are increasingly important. Two scenarios of revised NAEP results are presented (for New York City and for the nation) that reflect the possible results if all excluded students had been included in the data analysis: the overall NAEP results from the two recalculation scenarios vary considerably. Even where exclusion rate is constant, exclusion may affect score comparisons. When exclusion rates are not constant over time, the effects of exclusions on data comparisons can be significant. NAEP results can be affected by the percentage of students identified as Students with Disabilities (SD) or limited English proficient (LEP) in states or districts, as well as exclusion rates. The paper presents estimated recalculated results for the Trial Urban District Assessments in the two scenarios above to show how the rank orders of the districts' performance might have changed substantially. Student subgroup results may also change with increased inclusion. The effects of exclusions on NAEP data reliability can be minimized: (1) by minimizing exclusions; (2) by establishing exclusion criteria that are as clear and objective as possible and working to assure that those criteria are adhered to; and (3) making practices and criteria across states as uniform as possible. Remedies for the general effect of exclusions include: (1) efforts to minimize exclusions should continue; (2) NAEP users should be reminded more often that the students tested do not represent the entire population; and (3) research should continue on the utility of imputation models that might be used to adjust for effects of exclusions. Consequences of differential exclusion policies may be serious. If such policies vary for the two time points, groups, or jurisdictions compared, then that first, fundamental inference is compromised. The observed change, contrast, or performance gap in fact represents some mixture of differences in actual student achievement distributions and differences in decision rules determining whom to test. The increasing accuracy of NAEP statistics has made even small distortions more important than they once were. For the most part, effects of exclusions on reliability can be offset by increasing sample sizes. Effects of exclusions on validity are more problematical. It is important that NAEP continues to keep exclusions to a minimum, and that efforts be made to work toward more uniform policies and practices for determining which students should be excluded from NAEP and which should be tested.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. public schools are responsible for educating large numbers of English language learners and students with disabilities. This book considers policies for including students with disabilities and English language learners in assessment programs. It also examines the research findings on testing accommodations and their effect on test performance. Keeping Score for All discusses the comparability of states' policies with each other and with the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) policies and explores the impact of these differences on the interpretations of NAEP results. The book presents a critical review of the research literature and makes suggestions for future research to evaluate the validity of test scores obtained under accommodated conditions. The book concludes by proposing a new framework for conceptualizing accommodations. This framework would be useful both for policymakers, test designers, and practitioners in determining appropriate accommodations for specific assessments and for researchers in planning validity studies.
