IEP
Form 3B Statewide Assessments
1.
Participation
in State-wide Assessment Program
(STAR): Indicate how the student will
participate in STAR:
note: The IEP
Team may not waive state assessments.
The
State Testing and Reporting (STAR) include the California Standards Test/CAT-6,
California Modified Assessment (CMA), and the California Alternate Performance Based
Assessment (CAPA). The IEP Team must
determine which test will be the most appropriate for the student to take. If the student is taking CMA or CAPA, the IEP Team must
have reviewed the criteria for taking the alternate assessment.
¤
Outside
of testing range (before grade 2 and after grade 11) Check the box to indicate that the student is below
grade 2 or above grade 11 and therefore is exempt from the STAR.
¤
For the areas of English Language Arts, Math, Science, and History/Social
Science determine if the student will be
taking CST/CAT-6 or CMA and document any allowable accommodations
or modifications. Check the appropriate
boxes.
NOTE:
A student may take a test in an area on the CST/CAT-6 and in another area on
the CMA. If the student is taking CAPA he/she must take it in all areas. (Refer
to http://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/se/fp/
for the Test Variation Matrix)
¤
California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA). If the student has a significant cognitive
impairment, indicate the CAPA Level that is most appropriate to measure student
progress. If the student is taking the CAPA, document why the student cannot
participate in the CST/CAT-6. Also state why participation in the CAPA is
appropriate.
¤
For 3, 4, & 5 preschoolers note if the child will
take DRDP-R or DRDP access.
If the child is at the developmental level of 3 years or below, the IEP Team should
recommend the DRDP access. If the child needs adaptations in the preschool setting,
then the IEP Team should document the adaptations. (Refer to http://www.draccess.org website for a list
of adaptations.)
¤
Specify any accommodations or modifications the student
may need to participate in other state/districtwide assessments, including
writing proficiencies, physical fitness tests, etc. This would also be the
place to note if the student is taking the Standards-based Test in Spanish (STS).
This test is required for English learners who will have been enrolled in a
school in the United States less than 12 months on the first day of testing or
who are receiving instruction in Spanish regardless of the length of time he
she has been enrolled in school in the United States.
NOTE:
Do not put parent exemption on the IEP form as a reason that the student will
not participate in statewide assessment. The IEP Team must address how the
student would participate even if there is a parent exemption. The parent must
file the exemption with the school site according to the district procedures
for all students.
2.
For
English Learners Only
Check the appropriate assessment
that the student will be taking.
If other is checked document the assessment. For the CELDT, check the area of assessment and for the
Standards Based Spanish Test, check the appropriate area of assessment and if
the student will need accommodations.
