Completing the IEP: Participation in State and District-Wide Assessments section

Each student's Individualized Education Program (IEP) is comprised of many sections. The Participation in State and District-Wide Assessments section appears on all IEPs for all students.

This section identifies whether the student will participate in State- and district-wide assessments alongside non-disabled students. If a student does not participate in the standardized tests, an alternate assessment is identified in this section and a statement is provided on why.
