Accommodations for the NAEP Geography Assessments

Special-needs students were allowed to use the same accommodations that they use in state and district testing unless the accommodation would change the construct being assessed. For instance, extending testing over several days could not be used for NAEP. The following were the most commonly offered accommodations in the 2001 geography assessment for the sample of schools that permitted accommodations:

• bilingual dictionary;
• large-print book;
• extended time;
• small group;
• one-on-one;
• oral reading of directions; and
• use of an aide for transcribing responses.
