Available Resources for the Individualized Education Program Teams That Support Student Participation in Statewide Testing

The following resources will assist individualized education program (IEP) teams in making informed decisions about student participation in statewide testing, including the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) and the English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC). They offer information about the assignment of accessibility resources that will allow students to demonstrate what they know and are able to do during classroom instruction and on the assessments.
