Alternate Assessment
Measuring Outcomes and Supports for Students with Disabilities
By Harold L. Kleinert, Ed.D., & Jacqui Farmer Kearns, Ed.D., with invited contributors
| "Both a practical text and an authoritative treatment of a difficult topic by authors who have extensive experience developing and putting alternate assessments into practice. Both teachers and policymakers will find the text extemely informative in their efforts to implement the Alternate Assessment provisions of IDEA '97." —Jim Ysseldyke, Ph.D.
"[From] the trailblazers and pioneers of alternate assessment... This book is an excellent resource not only for those directly involved with alternate assessment issues, but also for those concerned more broadly with high-quality delivery of instruction for students with disabilities...a virtual 'how-to' guide." —Kenneth R. Warlick Ph.D. |
IDEA '97 requires that all states have alternate assessments ready to be administered to students who cannot participate in regular assessments by July 1, 2000. Are you ready?
In this new book, you'll discover the hows and whys of alternate assessment as leading experts guide you through this newly mandated process. They'll show you how to integrate flexible assessment activities into your daily instruction in order to measure the progress of your students with significant needs. You'll learn about new methods like portfolio assessments, performance-based collections of students' work, and see how they benefit all students by
- showcasing what they can do rather than what they can't
- depicting students' abilities in multiple settings
- helping evaluate supports for students with disabilities
- raising the level of achievement for all students
With the included photocopiable forms and tables, you'll easily prepare progress reports, adapt curricula, measure outcomes, even gather peer evaluations to include in students' portfolios. |
