The high school assessment utilizes a coursebased model with content aligned to Biology I. The assessment will be administered in an online format and is aligned to the Illinois Learning Standards for Science incorporating the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), which were adopted in 2014.  \nThe ISBE-Learn platform includes Text-to-Speech and Line Reader as accessibility features and are thus available, and allowable, for all students regardless of IEP, 504, or EL status. Additional accessibility features and accommodations are applied at the school level following the student’s individual plan (IEP or 504) . Note, if paper tests are administered, the answers must be transcribed into ISBE-Learn for scoring. Failure to do so will result in no results for the student, and they will count as not tested for participation, as no scale score will be generated. Paper copies and read aloud scripts are posted in the help menu under secure documents in ISBE-Teach. Test Coordinators must ensure collection and destruction of all paper materials used during the IEP/504 process.  \nStudents with EL plans may have the test read aloud or translated into their native language. However, all answers must be in English and transcribed into ISBE-Learn for scoring. Again, failure to do so will result in no results for the student, and they will count as not tested for participation, as no scale score will be generated.  \nIllinois Science Assessment Accessibility Features and Accommodations  \n\n| Administrative Considerations |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| Feature | Description |\n| Specialized Equipment or Furniture | Student is provided specialized equipment or furniture needed for a successful testing environment (e.g., low lighting, adaptive seat) . |\n| Specified Area or Seating | Student is tested in a specialized area or setting (e.g., front of the classroom, seat near the door, library, etc. ) . |\n| Separate/Alternate Location | Student is tested in a specifically assigned location. |\n| Small Group Testing | Student is tested in a separate location with a small group of students with matching accessibility features, accommodations, or testing needs as appropriate. |\n| Time of Day | Student is tested during a specific time of day based on their individual needs. |\n| Frequent Breaks | Student can take frequent breaks. |\n| Accessibility Features within the System |  |\n| Feature | Description |\n| Line Reader Tool | The student selects line-reader and uses an on-screen tool to assist in reading. |\n| Text-to-Speech | The student will be able to have the text read using a synthetic voice. Eva and Tom are the voice selections available. Eva is the ISBE preferred voice. |\n| Calculator / 4-Funtion | The student uses a calculating device |\n| Highlighter | The student selects words to highlight. Four colors can be selected |\n| Answer Eliminator | The student selects answer choices to eliminate from being the possible correct answer |\n| Jump Text | The student selects a location in the text from which to start the reader. Does NOT require rereading the entire page each time. |\n| Magnifier | The student scrolls over any location on the page to magnify the screen 2x |\n| Accessibility Features outside of the System |  |\n| Feature | Description |\n| Headphones/Noise Buffer | The student uses headphones or noise buffers to minimize distraction, access embedded textto-speech, or filter external noise during testing.
