Assessment Pages on the Current Model IEP Form Currently, the state model IEP form contains five

pages dedicated to statewide and district-wide assessments. The Michigan Department of Education is in the process of instituting multiple changes to all state-wide assessments which will result in changes to the current assessment pages in the state model IEP form.

Instead of five pages listing all of the assessment choices, the Office of Special Education will replace those pages with the following IEP requirements:

4

The IEP must address the assessment accommodations that are necessary to measure the academic achievement and functional performance of the student on state and district-wide assessments, and

If the IEP Team determines that the student must take an alternate assessment instead of a particular regular state or district-wide assessment of student achievement, A statement of why the student cannot

participate in the regular assessment and List the particular alternate assessment

selected for the student.

Replacement Language

5

For example . . . If the IEP Team determines the student will take the general education assessment, It is not necessary to state the name of

the general assessment in the IEP, although it’s fine to do so. However,

The accommodations must be specified in the IEP, by content area.

6

For example . . . If the IEP Team determines the student will take an alternate assessment, the IEP must include: A statement of why the student cannot

participate in the general education assessment and

The name of the alternate assessment(s) selected for the student and

The specific assessment accommodations required by the student.
