What criteria does the Case Conference Committee use to determine participation in IMAST?
The case conference committee (CCC) determines, based on the criteria provided and the student’s individual and unique needs, whether a student with a disability will be assessed on academic achievement standards, on modified academic achievement standards or on alternate academic achievement standards. If the CCC determines that a student will be assessed on IMAST (Indiana Modified Achievement Standards Test), the CCC report must describe the reasons it is not appropriate for the student to take ISTEP+ and include information in support of each of the criteria below. The committee must be informed that the decision to participate in an alternate assessment does not preclude a student from attempting to complete the graduation requirements. However, demonstrating proficiency on the modified assessment alone is insufficient evidence for graduation.
