Introduction |
|
The Rhode Island Alternate Assessment (RIAA) is for the
small number of students who cannot participate in
large-scale assessments even with accommodations. The RIAA
is based on Alternate Assessment Grade Span Expectations (AAGSEs) in
reading, mathematics, science, and writing that are an
extension of the NECAP Grade Level Expectations (GLEs).
The RIAA assesses content knowledge through a series of
Structured Performance Tasks. These tasks also incorporate
and promote enhanced capacities and integrated life
opportunities for students with moderate, severe, and
profound disabilities. Teachers collect data and student
work to assess the student's progress, accuracy, and
independence. The collected evidence provides documentation
to ensure that there is a connection between the academic
content contained the AAGSEs and the classroom instruction
the student receives.

NOTE!
These documents provide clarifications of commonly assessed
AAGSE in mathematics, reading, writing, and science. The
purpose of these documents is to assist educators to better
understand and develop assessment activities connected to
the AAGSEs. Because our AAGSEs may be listed under multiple
SPTs, the sample activities and data collection may not
connect to each SPT. In science, the focus of the document
is on assessing the inquiry construct. |
