Information is provided for school personnel as a reference to inform guidance on universal features, designated features, and accommodations for students. A description of each Indiana statewide assessment can be found on IDOE’s Assessment webpage.  \nFederal and state laws require that all students, including students with disabilities and English learners (ELs), participate in statewide assessments to maintain school accountability for student academic performance according to Indiana Code  \n(IC)20-32-5 .1-1 et. seq , and Sec. 1111(b)(2)(B)(i)(II) of ESSA (codified at 20 U.S.C.A. § 6303b) IC Title 20.  \nIDOE recognizes that the validity of assessment results depends on the utilization of appropriate universal features, designated features, and accommodations, when needed, based on the constructs being measured by the assessment. Indiana statewide assessments are developed with universal design as a key feature to support the fair and valid measurement of all students' knowledge and skills as they progress towards college and career readiness. IDOE implements systematic steps through item development and content presentation to ensure accessibility is interwoven throughout all stages of assessment delivery and scoring outcomes.  \nThis document is intended for the following audiences:  \n● Individualized Education Program (IEP), Section 504 Plan, Choice Special Education Plan (CSEP), Service Plan, or Individual Learning Plan (ILP) teams;  \n● Special education teachers;  \n● EL teachers;  \n● General education teachers; and  \n● Administrators, special education directors, EL directors, and Corporation Test Coordinators (CTCs) and School Test Coordinators (STCs) .  \nIt is important to note that accommodations and their upload process will vary depending on the assessment vendor. Cambium Assessment, Inc. (CAI) is the vendor for ILEARN, IREAD-3, and IAM assessments. WIDA assessments are overseen through WIDA, and the SAT and PSAT/NMSQT are administered by College Board. Consider this document as a whole and a supplement to training provided by the Office of Special Education prior to informing instructional and assessment decisions. Contact the Office of Student Supportsand Accessibility for additional information or training related to IEPs.  \nAccessibility & Accommodations Information for Statewide Assessments  \nIndiana Accessibility Advisory Group  \nIDOE collaborates with expert consultants in Indiana with distinct knowledge of specific student populations and their utilization of accommodations and other accessibility features. These consultants advise IDOE regarding accommodations and accessibility features to ensure that intentional focus on supporting the needs of all student populations is realized throughout the assessment process. The advisory group supports the work of ensuring a high-quality assessment system by providing:  \n● Support and review of accessibility features and accommodations on Indiana standardized assessments;  \n● Information and guidance for IDOE on the use of best practices, resources, and tools;
