  7. MEAP-Access Background In April of 2007, the U.S. Department of Education issued regulations describing Alternative Assessments based on Modified Achievement Standards (AA-MAS). Under NCLB and IDEA this is referred to as the “2% Regulation.”

  8. MEAP-Access Background The 2% regulation permits a state to develop an assessment aligned with modified academic achievement standards that cover the same Grade Level Content Expectations (GLCEs) as the general assessment.

  9. Assessment Continuum MEAP-Access helps to complete the assessment continuum • MEAP • MEAP (with accommodations) • MEAP-Access • MEAP-Access (with accommodations) • MI-Access (FI, SI, and P)

  49. Test Design Assessment Flexibility by Content • For example, a grade 4 student could take MEAP reading, MEAP-Access writing, and FI mathematics. • MI-Access (FI) Accessing Print and Expressing Ideas (reading and writing) cannot be split with other assessments.

  50. Test Design Science (Grade 5 & 8) The IEP Team will need to select either the MEAP or MI-Access, since no MEAP-Access science test is available.
