One of the National Center on Educational Outcomes (NCEO’s) all-time most popular resources for parents is an infographic about the implications of assessment participation decisions. Start with the End in Mind: An Infographic to Guide Decisions about Student Participation in the Alternate Assessment provides guidance about IEP team decision making for a student’s participation in the state’s alternate assessment aligned with alternate academic achievement standards (AA-AAAS), which is meant for a very small number of students with the most significant cognitive disabilities.

A video of an Individualized Education Program (IEP) Team Meeting where decisions about accommodations are made shows the student, the student’s parent, teachers, and the school principal talking about the read-aloud accommodation for math and how it will be implemented in classes.

A project affiliated with NCEO, the Improving Instruction for English Learners Through Accessibility Decision Making project, published briefs for parents on Building Successful Communication Between Parent or Guardian and Teacher. The briefs are available in English, Spanish, Arabic, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Arabic in written and audio formats.
