Alternate Assessment. The District recognizes the impact of Alternate Assessment on Special Education members’ work load. Members may receive release time to administer alternate assessment tests if there is an identified need as determined by Unit Administrator.
Alternate Assessment. Special education unit members who administer alternate assessments in lieu of Ohio mandated testing for special education pupils, shall be provided the necessary coverage to receive the appropriate training, administer the assessment, and complete the required data entry, during the contractual day.
Alternate Assessment. In some instances, students may have undertaken activities prior to their enrolment in their current course, which may allow them to demonstrate achievement of individual learning outcomes/elements within competencies of their current course. As entire modules or competencies have not been attained, they are not eligible for Credit Transfer or Recognition. In this situation the student may be offered the opportunity for ‘up front’ assessment in which the assessment is provided without learning resources. It is possible in some circumstances that if a student undertakes an alternative assessment, that the outcome may result in reduced time in class. However, there is no reduction in fees nor is a refund available. Note: Up front assessment does not give the student access to learning materials and requires the student to complete required assessments using their current and prior knowledge.
