Assessment Pages on the Current Model IEP Form  Currently, the state model IEP form contains five pages dedicated to statewide and district-wide assessments. The Michigan Department of Education is in the process of instituting multiple changes to all state-wide assessments which will result in changes to the current assessment pages in the state model IEP form.  Instead of five pages listing all of the assessment choices, the Office of Special Education will replace those pages with the following IEP requirements: 3

 The IEP must address the assessment accommodations that are necessary to measure the academic achievement and functional performance of the student on state and district-wide assessments, and  If the IEP Team determines that the student must take an alternate assessment instead of a particular regular state or district-wide assessment of student achievement,  A statement of why the student cannot participate in the regular assessment and  List the particular alternate assessment selected for the student. Replacement Language 4

For example... If the IEP Team determines the student will take the general education assessment,  It is not necessary to state the name of the general assessment in the IEP, although it’s fine to do so. However,  The accommodations must be specified in the IEP, by content area. 5

For example... If the IEP Team determines the student will take an alternate assessment, the IEP must include:  A statement of why the student cannot participate in the general education assessment and  The name of the alternate assessment(s) selected for the student and  The specific assessment accommodations required by the student. 6
