Text (slide 27):

Out-of-Level Testing

• Out-of-level testing is not an acceptable means for meeting either the assessment or accountability requirements of NCLB.
• State assessment systems must provide appropriate accommodations so that IDEA and Section 504 students can be held to the content and achievement standards for the grade in which the student is enrolled.
