How to Report Student Accommodations

Determine Who To Submit Accommodations For:

• Submit only students who have a Choice Special Education Plan (CSEP), Section 504 Plan, Service Plan (SP), and/or Individual Learning Plan (ILP for Multilingual Learners) not submitted in Indiana ILP, and associated accommodation codes.

• Submit only student accommodations that are not being provided from Indiana IEP or Indiana ILP.

• Do not submit accommodations captured in Indiana IEP or Indiana ILP.

For CAI Assessments (ILEARN and IREAD):

• IDOE will submit registration data for all students in grades 3-12 to CAI via the nightly data feed. Student enrollment in TIDE will reflect current, active enrollment records.

• Schools will submit accommodations documented in a student’s formal plan for each assessment (i.e., Test Code) in which the student is participating. If the student has a formal plan, but no testing accommodations, no accommodation record is needed.

• Corrections and updates must be provided in Data Exchange before 4 pm Eastern Time in order to appear the following day in TIDE.

  • Corrections related to student enrollment must be made by updating the student school association (enrollment) records.

  • Corrections to accommodations and other information related to Indiana IEP or Indiana ILP must be provided and finalized in either of those applications.

  • Corrections to accommodations from 504 plans, CSEP (or other formally documented Service Plan at an accredited non-public school) , or ILPs (where the school does not use the Indiana ILP system) must be made by (re)submitting a Student Accommodations record.

For ILEARN:

• ILEARN Biology students are those currently enrolled in Biology and have not been previously assessed in a high school science assessment.

• ILEARN Biology students will only participate in the assessment one time.

• ILEARN U.S. Government is for students the school is opting to assess in U.S. Government.

For IREAD-3:

• IREAD-3 is for students in grade 3 who are participating for the first time and any students in grades 3-5 who are participating in a retest opportunity.

  • Retest students are those who have not yet passed and are not eligible or have not been reported for a Good Cause Exemption.

  • IREAD-3 Summer Retest is for students in grades 3-5 who have not yet taken or passed IREAD-3 and are not eligible or have not been reported for a Good Cause Exemption.

  • Grade 3 students who passed IREAD-3, but were retained in grade 3, do not participate.

• IREAD-3 may be provided to students in grade 2 for those schools opting to assess their 2nd grade level students. INassessments@doe.in.gov will need to be contacted for those schools wishing to assess their 2nd grade students.

For I AM:

• I AM is for students in grades 3-8 and 10 who are participating in the alternate assessment, as determined by the case conference committee.

• I AM (Indiana’s Alternate Measure) student records are submitted entirely by IDOE to the assessment vendor.

• Nightly submissions of rosters and accommodations will occur beginning on the first school calendar date through May of each school year.

• Participating students will be identified based upon eligibility criteria indicated in current, finalized Indiana IEPs and flagged as Alternate Testers in TIDE.

• Prior to the I AM test administration, Corporation Testing Coordinator (CTC), Non-Public School Testing Coordinator (NPSTC), School Testing Coordinator (STC), and Testing Administrator (TA) must verify all records in TIDE.

• Corrections to student records must be made by updating enrollment records via Data Exchange and/or updating Indiana IEP. This includes alternate tester eligibility criteria in Indiana IEP.

• NO ADDITIONAL data is required from the schools for this submission window. No EL and/or 504 Plan accommodations are allowed to be submitted by the schools. ALL accommodations are to be part of and reported from the student’s IEP.
