How to Support Teachers Through the Alternate Assessment Process

The new school year means that the alternate assessment process begins anew for eligible learners and their teachers!

However, each year presents its own set of challenges. Some teachers find themselves unrostered, uncertified, unregistered or unprepared to input essential data. There are instances of teachers entering data right at the onset of the test window, a practice that is discouraged. Additionally, some teachers wait too long in addressing alternate assessment concerns, reaching out with inquiries either during or after the test window has concluded.

Please review this document for information to help you support teachers of students who participate in alternate assessments so that teachers are certified, know the process and timelines, and will successfully teach and assess their students!
