STEP 2: Identify the Team and Supports
Who can assist in supporting completion of the performance assessments within one or more student learning environments?
At times the team may not be thoroughly knowledgeable about the assessments or other resources. If this is the case, they need to obtain
additional input from knowledgeable individuals who can assist in this process. For instance, decision makers on the IEP team should include general education staff in whose classes students will be expected to
complete performance assessments. With proper representation, the IEP team can identify the supports a student needs to complete the required educational tasks of the specific performance assessment.
The IEP team is responsible for answering the questions about the student, the learning environment, and the tasks. They will also need to
provide information about what adaptations have previously been implemented and note their effectiveness. This information should include learning strategies, the assistive technology devices ranging from “no tech”
to “low tech” to “high tech,” and comments about the effectiveness. Only if additional support or information is needed, initiate Step 3.
