Introduction

North Carolina Alternate Assessment Portfolio ( NCAAP)

To comply with the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act ( IDEA) of 1997, the North

Carolina Alternate Assessment Portfolio ( NCAAP) was administered statewide during the 2000–

2001 school year to students with disabilities in grades 3 through 8 and grade 10. The assessment

is a year- long, performance- based assessment process in which assessors collect and evaluate

student work and progress relative to goals outlined in the student’s Individualized Education

Program ( IEP). In order to participate in NCAAP, students must be in grades 3 through 8 or in

grade 10 according to the student information management system, ( e. g., SIMS/ NCWISE).

Students must have a significant cognitive disability and a current IEP. Criteria also dictate that

students be instructed in the North Carolina Standard Course of Study through the North

Carolina Standard Course of Study Essences.

In the initial 2000- 2001 program, student performance and growth were assessed in certain

functional areas, or “ domains.” These domains included Communication, Personal and Home

Management, Career and Vocational, and Community. Based on the goals in their IEP, student

tasks were evaluated according to four performance levels: Novice, Apprentice, Proficient, and

Distinguished. These categorizations correspond to the Achievement Levels I through IV

currently used by assessors to evaluate student performance.

Prior to the enactment of the federal No Child Left Behind Act ( NCLB) of 2001, it was

recommended that teachers include literacy, numeracy, and technology goals in students’

portfolios. This legislation mandated that reading, mathematics, and writing areas be addressed

in the NCAAP. The transitional portfolio retained the original four functional domains. However

the recommendation to include literacy and numeracy in the IEP tasks selected for the portfolio

became a requirement for the 2001- 2002 portfolio. The full transition to an academic portfolio

occurred with the 2002- 2003 portfolio and the original functional domains were changed to the

academic components of English/ language arts, and mathematics. Writing is addressed within

the English/ language arts component of the NCAAP. Within the North Carolina Standard

Course of Study for English/ language arts, there are five competency goals and within the North

Carolina Standard Course of Study for Mathematics, there are four strands. Each competency

goal and strand is paired with a statement of its critical “ essence.” These essence statements

provide a broad interpretation of the competency goal to promote the inclusion of students with

the most significant disabilities. The fourth and fifth competency goals in English/ language arts

are used in the NCAAP to demonstrate performance in writing for fourth, seventh, and tenth

grade students participating in this year- long, performance- based assessment.

North Carolina Alternate Assessment Academic Inventory ( NCAAAI)

Initiated in March 2001, the North Carolina Alternate Assessment Academic Inventory

( NCAAAI) was developed to address the needs of exceptional children not met by the NCAAP

and the North Carolina Computerized Adaptive Testing System ( NCCATS). The NCAAAI is an

assessment in which teachers utilize a checklist to evaluate student performance in the areas of

reading and mathematics at grades 3 through 8 and 10, writing at grades 4, 7, and 10, and in high

school courses in which an end- of- course ( EOC) test is administered. Data are collected at the

Report of Student Performance on the North Carolina Alternate Assessments, 2003- 04

North Carolina Alternate Assessment Academic Inventory ( NCAAAI) ( continued)

beginning of the school year or course ( baseline), in the middle ( interim), and at the end of the

school year or course ( final).

Eligible students with disabilities and students with limited English proficiency ( LEP) may

participate in the NCAAAI instead of taking the multiple- choice test as stated in State Board of

Education ( SBE) policy HSP- C- 005. For students with disabilities, participation must be

documented in each student’s current IEP. Beginning with the 2002- 03 school year, LEP

students that met length of enrollment and language proficiency requirements as set forth in SBE

policy HSP- C- 005 were eligible to participate in the NCAAAI. If the student is LEP and has an

IEP, the IEP determines NCAAAI eligibility. Beginning with the 2003- 04 school year, students

with a Section 504 plan must participate in the standard test administration with or without test

accommodations and are ineligible for participation in alternate assessments including the

NCAAP.

For each student participating in the NCAAAI, the assessor ( teacher) receives an individual

inventory folder. The folder includes the inventory ( reading, mathematics, and/ or writing or

EOC) for the student, score descriptors, and baseline and student profiles to record individual

student strengths and needs, as well as the student’s assessment history. Additionally, assessors

are required to keep a student work folder as evidence to support the assessor’s scores for the

student. The academic inventory is designed to monitor an individual student’s progress

throughout the school year. Assessed objectives are the same as the North Carolina Standard

Course of Study for reading, mathematics, and writing at each grade level or for high school

courses. Objectives are listed by goals for mathematics, and by categories for reading and

writing. Students with disabilities assessed using the NCAAAI in reading and mathematics may

be assessed below grade level, depending on the decision of the IEP team. Students with LEP

must be assessed on grade level for reading and mathematics. Students with disabilities and

students with LEP who participate in high school courses that require an EOC exam may be

assessed using the NCAAAI on grade level.

As part of the writing assessment at grades 4, 7, and 10, the NCAAAI for writing was piloted

during the 2002- 03 school year as an alternate assessment for the standard administration. All

students participating in the NCAAAI in writing must be assessed on grade level ( at the assigned

grade level) in grades 4, 7, and 10. There is no below grade level administration of the NCAAAI

for writing or EOC assessments.

Students assessed on grade level in any area may receive an Achievement Level of I, II, III, or

IV if the assessor has assigned goal or category scores in the 5 to 8 range. Students that are

assessed one or two grade levels below their assigned grade may not receive an Achievement

Level of III or IV. Students that are assessed three or more grade levels below their assigned

grade level and deemed to have the most significant cognitive disability may receive

Achievement Levels of I, II, III, or IV if the assessor has assigned goal or category scores in the

5 to 8 range. The assessor ( the teacher) also indicates on the academic checklist if the student

achieved growth on the content being assessed.

General Findings and Trends

Demographic Trends

The graph below shows the total number of NCAAP students for 2002- 03 and 2003- 04.

Figure 1. 2002- 03 & 2003- 04 Number of NCAAP Students*

* Refer to Tables 2 - 4 for the number of NCAAP and NCAAAI students combined by subject.

The number of students in NCAAP increased to 3,417 in 2003- 04 from 3,146 in 2002- 03 for

reading and mathematics. This represents an 8.6 percent increase in the number of students.

Totals also increased among NCAAP students in writing, from 1,213 in 2002- 03 to 1,422 in

2003- 04, representing a 17.2 percent increase.

As the following graph ( Figure 2) indicates, the number of students in NCAAAI decreased

overall in 2003- 04 compared to 2002- 03. The number of on- level reading and mathematics

students decreased by 1,771 and 896, respectively, in 2003- 04. This represents a 30.2 percent

decrease in on- level reading students and a 16.5 percent decrease in on- level mathematics

students. Off- level reading and mathematics students decreased by 3,687 and 3,262,

respectively, in 2003- 04. This represents a 30.3 percent decrease in off- level reading students

and a 30.3 percent decrease in off- level mathematics students. Of the 12,583 students tested for

reading in 2003- 04, and the 18,041 in 2002- 03, 32.5 percent were on- level. Of the 12,039

students tested for mathematics, 37.5 percent were on- level in 2003- 04 vs. 33.4 percent of

16,197 students in 2002- 03.

* Students can be tested on- level and/ or off- level in one or more subjects. In 2003- 04, there were 471 students who

participated in the reading inventory and 142 students who participated in the mathematics inventory who were not

included due to missing values.

Male students outnumbered female students by almost two to one for both NCAAP and

NCAAAI students in 2003- 04. Males composed 63.7 percent of the 3,417 NCAAP students and

63.3 percent of the 14,480 NCAAAI students. 1

Among ethnicity groups representing the 3,417 students in NCAAP:

• White males composed 30.8 percent of all students and 48.3 percent of all males,

• Black males composed 27.1 percent of all students and 42.5 percent of all males,

• White females made up 18.3 percent of all students and 50.6 percent of all females,

• Black females made up 14.3 percent of all students and 39.5 percent of all females,

• Hispanic males made up 2.2 percent of all students and 3.5 percent of all males,

• Hispanic females made up 1.6 percent of all students and 4.4 percent of all females,

• Multi- racial males represented 1.1 percent of all students and 1.8 percent of all males,

• Asian males represented 1.0 percent of all students and 1.6 percent of all males,

• American Indian males represented .9 percent of all students and 1.4 percent of all males,

• Multi- racial females represented .7 percent of all students and 1.9 percent of all females,

• Asian and American Indian females each represented .5 percent of all students and 1.3

percent of all females.

Among ethnicity groups representing the 14,480 students in NCAAAI in 2003- 04:

• Black males constituted 22.8 percent of all students and 36.0 percent of all males,

1 The 14,480 NCAAAI students includes students with no indication of whether they were tested on- or off- level.

Demographic Trends ( continued)

• White males constituted 19.5 percent of all students and 30.7 percent of all males,

• Hispanic males made up 16.6 percent of all students and 26.2 percent of all males,

• Hispanic females made up 13.6 percent of all students and 37.1 percent of all females,

• Black females represented 10.9 percent of all students and 29.8 percent of all females,

• White females represented 9.4 percent of all students and 25.7 percent of all females,

• Asian males represented 1.9 percent of all students and 3.0 percent of all males,

• Asian females represented 1.5 percent of all students and 4.2 percent of all females,

• American Indian males composed 1.7 percent of all students and 2.8 percent of all males,

• Multi- racial males composed 0.8 percent of all students and 1.3 percent of all males,

• American Indian females composed 0.8 percent of all students and 2.2 percent of all

females,

• Multi- racial females composed 0.4 percent of all students and 1.0 percent of all females.

A higher proportion of NCAAAI students ( 28.2%) are designated as LEP than NCAAP students

( 1.8%) in 2003- 04. This difference is due in large part to the fact that LEP status is one reason

students participate in NCAAAI. The chart below displays the notable differences in the

distribution of exceptional students within each alternate assessment.

Demographic Trends ( continued)

In 2003- 04, the NCAAP students were distributed among the exceptionality categories as

follows: trainable mentally disabled ( 34.3%), autistic ( 23.8%), multihandicapped ( 17.2%), and

severely/ profoundly mentally disabled ( 11.7%). Of all NCAAAI students, more than a third

( 36.5%) were in the educable mentally disabled and 13.5 percent were in the specific learning

disabled categories respectively.

Performance Trends

Overall, students in both NCAAP and NCAAAI performed at higher Achievement Levels in

2003- 04 compared to 2002- 03. In every subject a larger proportion of NCAAP and NCAAAI

students were performing either at or above Achievement Level III.

* NCAAAI students were not tested at Levels III and IV in off- level reading or mathematics in 2002- 03.

Over 96.0 percent of all NCAAP students demonstrated growth ( where both scorers agree), 1.8

percent demonstrated some growth ( where one scorer agrees and the other does not), and 1.5

percent of students demonstrated no growth.

Maps of Statewide Totals by LEA

Out of the 117 LEAs in 2003- 04, ( including city units but not charter schools), the average

number of NCAAP students in any particular LEA was 29 ( SD= 52.44) while the median was 13

students. The average density of NCAAP students in each LEA was 2.5 NCAAP students per

1,000 students enrolled ( SD= 2.82). 2 The median number of NCAAP students per 1,000 was

2.19.

The average number of NCAAAI students in each LEA was 141 while the median number was

77 students ( SD= 244.33). On average, LEAs contained about 12.44 NCAAAI students per

1,000 students enrolled in 2003- 04 ( SD= 7.38). The median number of NCAAAI students per

1,000 was 11.3. Nineteen LEAs ( not including Charter schools) contained no NCAAP students

and one contained no NCAAAI students.

The maps in Figures 5 and 6 show the distribution of NCAAP and NCAAAI students per 1,000

students for each LEA in North Carolina in 2003- 04. Totals for city units and charter schools are

not depicted in the maps but are listed in Table 1 at the end of this section.

Figure 5. 2003- 04 Number of NCAAP Students

2 The number of NCAAP or NCAAAI students per 1,000 students is calculated by dividing the total number of

NCAAP or NCAAAI students by first month Average Daily Membership ( ADM) for grades 3- 8 and 10, and

multiplying by 1,000. Although there are LEAs and charter schools with fewer than 1,000 students in grades 3 and

8- 10, all calculations are based on 1,000 students for comparison purposes.

Notes: 1Off- level students are not assessed at their assigned grade level. Students assessed 3 or more grade levels below their assigned grade level

are eligible for any achievement ranking based on alternate achievement standards.

2Total number of off- level students including those without a growth score.

3" Percent of All Students" within a category may not add up to 100.0 percent due to rounding or blanks.

4Inconsistencies in numbers reported are due to errors in coding on student answer sheets.

* Performance data are not reported when number of students is fewer than five. Performance data that are less than or equal

to 5.0 percent, or greater than or equal to 95.0 percent, are not displayed.

When summed, subgroup N counts may not match the " All Students" N count because of incomplete coding on some student answer sheets.

The total of " All Students with Disabilities" includes Section 504 but not those in the " Not Coded" category.
