Educators offer guidance on the implementation of alternative assessments for students with disabilities. The book considers the concerns of teachers, reviews the current research, and describes the experiences of those who have gone through the process successfully. Specific attention is given to techniques for integrating assessments with regular instruction, helping disabled students gain access to curriculum standards, designing assessments that emphasize the students accomplishments and knowledge, and document progress.
