Alternate Assessment Announcements

ISAT- Alt Revision Notification

To comply with U.S. Federal Government requirements the Idaho State Department of Education in collaboration with, our Technical Advisory Committee, general education content area specialists, special educators and parents, is revising the former Alternate Assessments for both Reading and Math as well as updating Science. The revised assessments include ISAT-Alt Reading, ISAT-Alt Language Arts and ISAT-Alt Math. These revised assessments have been renamed to reflect their correspondence to the ISAT. Their design pattern will be similar to the portfolio model created last year for Science in, artifact collection, submission and scoring. The ISAT-Alt Science format will remain the same except that access points will be added. The revised manual and forms will be disseminated via this website by the end of October. Regional as well as virtual trainings will be held. More information will be posted regularly to keep all stakeholders up to date.
