  8. There were four possible outcomes for districts, based on a totality of results 8

Standardized Testing GuidanceModified Assessments for Students with Disabilities • Modified assessments designed for most severely disabled students • 1% of students in tested grades eligible for Portfolio • 2% of students in tested grades eligible for MAAS When too many SWD are P/A on MAAS, they are reassigned randomly as BP • 2012-13 - SWD who were proficient or advanced on MAAS last year, • Where districts exceed the cap, students P/A, were reassigned to TCAP • Systems that did not exceed the cap were permitted retest options The last year for TN MAAS is 2013-14

  19. Amending Special Education Guidelines and Standards Regarding Evaluations for SLD • Proposed revision requires the districts assure that underachievement is not due to lack of instruction • Data must demonstrate that rigorous systematic instruction is evident throughout all tiers • Timeline • Jan 2013 – Advisory Council for Education of SWD affirmed action • Feb 2013 – SBE hears guidelines on first reading • March 2013 – SBE conducted rulemaking hearing • April 2013– SBE hears guidelines (revised) first reading • July 2013– SBE hears guidelines second reading • July 2014 – effective date of implementation
