What is an Accommodation?
![Page 4: Accommodations: Decide, Document, Monitor Excerpts from the powerpoint of: Carrie Perkis NCDPI Division of Accountability Services Conference on Exceptional](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062722/56649f345503460f94c513f3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Accommodations . . .
• Are changes in the way a student accesses instruction/assessment
• Do not change the construct of the assignment/ assessment
• Give student equal access to learning without “watering down” the content
• Are not to be provided for score enhancement
• Must be aligned or matched between classroom instruction, classroom assessments, district tests, and state tests

Accommodations Differ from Modifications in that:
Modifications change the construct through altering language load, content complexity, and/or cognitive complexity.
Some examples of modifications:• Reduced assignments• Simplified reading passages• Reduced response choices

Test AdministratorReads Test Aloud
• Some things that can help in determining how to the read test item correctly:– Test administrator should be familiar with grade-
level/course content– Review examples in this PowerPoint training; make
yourself as aware as possible of the issues involved– Review the next problem while students are
answering previous problem (if reading entire test aloud)
– If reading by student request, pause and read over problem to self before reading aloud to student

Student Marks Answers inTest Book
• Does the student really need this accommodation?– Has the student ever tried to transfer
answers to an answer sheet?– If no, provide him/her with an opportunity to
see if he/she is able to do so– If yes, were answers transferred correctly?
