  Alternate Grade Level Indicators will be used in 2006-07 to assess student performance on required components of the Core Curricula for English language arts, mathematics, science and social studies, as charted on the Blueprints. It is recommended that instructional programs in fall 2006 address these areas of learning for NYSAA-eligible students. Curriculum content, materials and texts may be simplified to less complex forms, but less complex forms must be age appropriate and remain aligned to the same main ideas being addressed by the students’ same-aged peers at that grade level.

Therefore, to ensure that all students with disabilities are included in the State assessment program and are counted for Title I participation and performance in accordance with federal requirements, school districts must test students with disabilities as directed in this memo, beginning with the 2006-07 school year. http://www.p12.nysed.gov/apda/nysaa/archive/ungraded.html
