College and Career Readiness for Students Using Alternate Assessments

Abstract The College and Career Ready Initiative of the Kentucky State Personnel Development Grant (SPDG) will develop a College and Career Readiness

accountability model for students with low incidence (LI) disabilities through collaboration the State Education Agency, Local Education Agencies, and the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR) and, subsequently, develop,

pilot, and implement a CCR curriculum for students with LI, based upon the accountability model.

How College and Career Ready are Kentucky Students using Alternate Assessment ?

Our Approach ~ Build a College and Career Ready (CCR) model for Students Participating in Kentucky’s Alternate Assessment by

•Utilizing evidence based practices as the framework for the developing model•And Incorporating tools/practices currently in use as components of the model

Steps Taken So Far: 1.Reviewed Kentucky Occupational Skill Standards (KOSSA) and pulled those skill standards salient for population of youth participating in Alternate Assessment (inter-rater reliability) 2.Cross-walked identified, salient KOSSA with US Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy’s Skills to Pay the Bills research and curriculum (2012)3.Developed   Employability and Foundational Academic Standards Alternate Assessment/Employability Skills Attainment Record  (ESAR) based upon the above cross-walk4.Developed Kentucky Work Based Learning Certificate (KWBLC) Model
