26. Tools, Supports, and Accommodations

27. What Are Supports?

28. What Are Supports? Defined Decisions Defined Supports for the South Dakota assessments are those resources that are available for use by any student for whom the need has been indicated by an educator or team of educators with parent/guardian and student. Assigning a support does not require documentation of need in an IEP or 504 plan. It is recommended that a consistent process be used to determine these supports for individual students. Supports need to be identified and assigned in the Test Information Distribution Engine (TIDE) system, prior to assessment administration. Students should be familiar with using the designated supports assigned to them.

29. What Are Supports? Defined Decisions Decisions Informed adults make decisions about these supports. Ideally, the decisions are made by educators familiar with the student’s needs, as well as those supports that the student has been using during instruction and for other assessments. Student and parent/guardian participation in the decision, particularly for older students, is also recommended.

30. What Are Accommodations?

31. What Are Accommodations? Defined Decisions Defined Accommodations are changes in procedures or materials that increase equitable access during the South Dakota assessments. Assessment accommodations generate valid assessment results for students who need them; they allow these students to show what they know and can do. South Dakota states have identified accommodations for students for whom there is a documented need for the accommodation(s) on an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or 504 accommodation plan or special circumstance, such as the example of the broken arm.

32. What Are Accommodations? Defined Decisions Decisions IEP teams, educators, and parents/guardians make decisions about accommodations. These teams (or educators for 504 plans) provide evidence of the need for accommodations and ensure that they are noted on the IEP or 504 plan. School staff are responsible for ensuring that information from the IEP is entered into TIDE, so that all embedded accommodations can be activated prior to testing.
