SUMMER WORK
Alternate Assessment Advisory Board met and discussed concerns from the 2013-14 assessment.
Standards validation was conducted by general education and Alternate Assessment teachers to confirm cut scores and performance levels.

WHAT’S NEW?? There is now an Alternate K-PREP Systems homepage which
links to both the Online Training System (OTS) and the Student Registration Database (SRD).
Content standards are no longer referred to as just Alternate K-PREP Standards.
Now referred to as Alternate K-PREP Aligned Content Standards (aligned to Kentucky Core Academic Standards [KCAS]).
Same content material provided; this nomenclature recognizes the content provided as part of KCAS, but made specific to students participating in Kentucky’s Alternate Assessment.
KDE:OAA:DSR:ko:8/20/2014 4
WHAT’S NEW
Alternate K-PREP Aligned Science Standards (aligned to KCAS).
Selected by Kentucky teachers in the spring of 2014; statements were “vetted” in July and will be made available to Alternate Assessment teachers in late August, or early September.
Additional science updates will be provided.
KDE:OAA:DSR:ko:8/20/2014 5
ALIGNMENT OF STANDARDS The Alternate Assessment aligns with grade level content
standards assessed in grades 3 - 8 as well as high school.
Kentucky is required by federal law to assess all students using these content standards; however the Alternate Assessment addresses the standards in a format that is modified based on the severity of students’ needs.

ONLINE TRAINING SYSTEM (OTS)
Location where you track your teacher’s quiz completions.
If you registered last year, your information is still valid.
Your registration information in the OTS will be the same as the information used in the Student Registration Database (SRD).
KDE:OAA:DSR:ko:8/20/2014 21
STUDENT REGISTRATION DATABASE (SRD)
Houses student scores from both the Attainment Tasks and the Transition Attainment Record (TAR).
Tracks communication progress for students through the Learner Characteristics Inventory (LCI).
More information, including a manual, will be available later this fall.
