Guest guest Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 NJASK is a state test given at various grades in NJ. I am quessing all states have some sort of testing like ths. All schools in NJ follow a state curriulum per grade. Now how that is taught, the level of detail, the books, homework CAN ALL BE INDIVIDUALIZED in an IEP. My daughter has an IEP and is in a specical needs school. The level of detail is very different than the public school, she has no HW at the time due to high anxiety, the way it is taught is very different from public school. Your district is saying we want to teach to our plans. Unless you get an IEP in place that is all they are reguired to do. Good luck, Pam > > Morning, > > I was wondering whether anyone knew the specifics of the NJASK and how children that are classified (my son has Aspergers) are affected by this test. In addition is a district's funding dependent on these scores? I ask because we have tried to get his curriculum modified and the response we seem to be getting is that he has to learn the material because it is on the NJASK. I realize that he must take the NJASK but I was wondering what exactly is done with his score and if a school is penalized if he is not " proficient " . > > Thanks. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Schools really resist writing curriculum goals. They all tend to write goals that basically specify that they are teaching to the specific grade curriculm. I have had success getting accomodations written into the IEP. Take a special education school where a 5th grader is reading at a 2nd grade level. They would still say they are teaching 5th grade social studies. Even though they would have to find material your child could read or read to him if he couldn't manage. I think what you can get into an IEP is the educational or neuropsch testing that states concretely your child's level of reading and math and executive function (organization skills, attentional skills) you can specify you want this facts taken into consideration when teaching. The state test is the state test you take it based on your grade level. And classified kids are identified.
