Equal opportunity for all students to access instruction and demonstrate learning is a fundamental principle of public education. Accessibility resources represent a set of tools that help a student better access classroom instruction. They are also provided in a testing environment so that students can do their best to demonstrate their knowledge and skills. The Smarter Balance Assessment System was designed to maximize accessibility for all students. An array of universal tools, designated supports, and accommodations are available to help ensure that Smarter Balance summative and interim assessments generate a fair and accurate estimate of each student’s achievement. The participants of this course will: • Understand the importance of accessibility resources. • Learn about the various universal tools, designated supports, and accommodation available within the Smarter Balance System.

Intended Audience

Special education teachers, general education teachers, administrators, school psychologists, and speech-language.

The data then must be reported in SEIS and SELPA reports the DRDP data to the California Department of Education (CDE) to be included in the federal Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) reporting. This optional training session: Getting Started with the Desired Results Developmental Profile (DRDP 2015) will give participants an introduction to the DRDP tool and explore its history and purpose. It will guide them through the steps to complete the required CDE training, address how to enter data from the DRDP into SEIS, and answer any other questions, including timelines and trouble shooting.

Intended Audience

Early childhood special education teachers and early childhood speech-language pathologists.
