Oklahoma's Academic Performance Index (API) was created to measure the performance and progress of a school or district based on several factors, primarily state test scores, which the state feels contribute to a students' overall educational success. Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) is based on federally approved, state defined performance benchmarks.

These assessments are modified versions of EOI & OCCT test,

intended for some students with disabilities whose

(IEP) Individualized Education Program teams have determined

the regular test are inappropriate

and have documented this in the students' IEP

General modifications to the Modified Assessment are:
three answer choices / two or three items per page
one-column format /larger font than in OSTP test books
bold & underlined key text in items and passages as appropriate
avoided use of "no change" as an answer choice

NOTE: The State expects that only a small number of students
with disabilities will participate in an alternate assessment,
and the decision to administer an alternate assessment
must be an IEP team decision using multiple measures
as objective evidence including:

» Previous performance on state
»Other assessments that document academic achievement
»Students progress, to date, in response to appropriate instruction
