standard accommodations for grades 5-8 and non-standard accommodations for grades 3-4 (consistent with oral administration of ELA)
Only 0.3% of SWD in grades 5-8 received signed administrations (75 students)
Data for oral administrations of ELA in this presentation includes signed administrations

Overview Designed primarily to provide data to
state- and national-level policy makers With passage of ESEA/NCLB, state’s
participation became required The National Center for Education
Statistics (NCES) in the U.S. Department of Education is responsible for NAEP implementation
NAEP policy is set by the National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB)
35
![Page 36: Testing Students with Disabilities District Test Coordinators Meeting October 14, 2011 1.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e185503460f94b0427a/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
NAEP Inclusion Policy
• New policy becomes effective with NAEP 2011 reports.
• Focus on states’ inclusion of students with disabilities (SD) and English language learners (ELLs).
• As a percentage of total population, total excluded (SD/ELL) should not be more than 5%.
• As a percentage of the identified group, excluded should not exceed 15%.

Considerations
NAEP participation is now addressed in the online IEP tool.
–Other key points–
NAEP provides most accommodations typically offered on state tests.
NAEP does not produce scores for individual students and participation is anonymous. Results are summarized only at the state and national level.
The NAEP assessments do not impose any consequences for students, schools, or districts and are solely intended to provide an overall measure of educational achievement for the nation and individual states.

Considerations
Participating students are not required to complete the whole test and may skip any test question. Even when a student does not complete the entire test, useful data are still obtained from the provided item responses.
Students who meet participation guidelines for the SC-Alternate Assessment are not expected to participate in NAEP.
