MCAS Special Ed. Accommodations: Summary

By

Students with learning disabilities can apply for accommodations when taking the MCAS tests. In summary, the standard accommodations are grouped into the following four categories:

1. Changes in timing or scheduling of the test; for example, administering the test in short intervals or at a specific time of day.

2. Changes in test setting; for example, administering the test in a small group or a separate setting.

3. Changes in test presentation; for example, using a large-print or Braille edition of the test.

4. Changes in how the student responds to test questions; for example, dictating responses to a scribe.

It is important to specifically ask for the special ed. MCAS accommodations necessary for your student in advance since they are not always given without a request.

Abduction Prevention: Common Tricks Used

By

Teach your children some of the common tricks used by many molesters and kidnappers. Abductors will say things like there is an emergency, that a family member is hurt, or that a pet has been in an accident and to come with them immediately!!! Tell your children that if a stranger approaches them with one of these lines, the child should check with their parents, other trusted adults, or a police officer.

MCAS: Needs Improvement / Failing & Educational Proficiency Plan

By

When a high school student gets an MCAS score for the English or Math test between 220 and 238, an Educational Proficiency Plan (EPP) is created. An EPP must be developed for any student who does not meet or exceed the Proficient level (a minimum scaled score of 240) on the grade 10 ELA and/or Mathematics tests.

Each EPP includes, at a minimum:

a review of the student’s strengths and weaknesses, based on MCAS and other assessment results, coursework, grades, and teacher input;
the courses the student will be required to take and successfully complete in grades 11 and 12; and
a description of the assessments the school will administer on a regular basis to determine whether the student is moving toward Proficiency.

Neighborhood Abductions

Parents should not become lax about kids going to a friend’s home in a neighborhood on foot or bike. Abductions can happen in an instant. Children should be instructed to call when they arrive at a friend’s home so you know they are safe.
