Tool Search: Special Ed Documents
The Evaluation in Campus is used to document the student's educational needs and determination of eligibility for special education. This document describes each editor, each field on the editor, any special considerations, and instructions for using the editor and fields.
An evaluation must be created whether or not the student is determined to have a disability. The school district gives a copy of the evaluation summary report, including the documentation of eligibility, to the student’s parents. For information on general functionality, navigation, and additional plan and evaluation features, see the core Plan and Evaluation Information article.
The current format of this document is the MT Evaluation Report. Evaluation formats are selected in Special Ed Eval Types.

Definitions: (a) A severe discrepancy is defined as a 50 percent or higher probability of a two standard deviation discrepancy between general cognitive ability and achievement in one or more of the areas identified in ARM 10.16.3019 when adjusted for regression to the population mean. (b) Error in test measurement requires judgment for students who score near two standard deviations below the population mean. When exercising this judgment, consideration of additional information, such as classroom performance relative to the student's performance on norm-referenced tests, shall be used as the basis for determining the severe discrepancy. (c) Alternatives to norm-referenced tests, such as curriculum-based assessments, shall be utilized to determine severe discrepancy whenever cultural factors, test conditions, size of test item sampling for the student's age, or other factors render standardized assessment results invalid. When utilizing alternative assessment procedures, a determination must still be made that a discrepancy between ability and achievement exists at a level of severity similar in size to the discrepancy that would have otherwise been found as described in (a) above. | |
