Dear MAASE Members,The Office of Educational Assessment and Accountability (OEAA), in cooperation with the Assessment of Students with Disabilities Advisory Committee, is seeking feedback on the Michigan Educational Assessment System (MEAS) Assessment Accommodation Summary Table. The table is located at:
http://www.michigan.gov/documents/Exhibit_B_Accommodations_Table_127886_7.pdfAs you know, this table is used by educators throughout Michigan as a reference to determine if an assessment accommodation is considered “standard” or “nonstandard” for MEAS, or is permitted or not permitted on state assessments.
The table is currently undergoing revision for 2009-10 and a survey has been developed to collect feedback from educators and practitioners who have experience working with Michigan’s students with disabilities and accommodations that help provide them equal access to state assessments.
Input from MAASE members and your staff are therefore extremely important to this work. Please respond yourself and forward the survey request to your staff involved in MEAP or MiAccess testing.
Please click-on or copy and paste the survey link into your browser and submit the survey when complete. The OEAA appreciates your willingness to provide this input.
