TAKS-M

TAKS–M is an alternate assessment based on modified academic achievement standards designed for students receiving special education services who meet participation requirements. TAKS–M has been designed to meet federal requirements mandated under the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act. According to federal regulations, all students, including those receiving special education services, will be assessed on grade-level curriculum. TAKS–M covers the same grade-level content as TAKS, but TAKS–M tests have been changed in format (larger font, fewer items per page, etc.) and test design (fewer answer choices, simpler vocabulary and sentence structure, etc.). Any student who meets participation requirements for TAKS–M may take this assessment but only two percent of the tested population can count as proficient for Adequate Yearly Progress calculations.

Participation Requirements

Admission, review and dismissal (ARD) committees will use the participation requirements to determine if TAKS–M is the appropriate assessment for a student.
