What's that I smell? Is it ADAM?

Fellow Illinoisans:

Yet another new version of IARrific plugin /IARrific + ACCESS plugin
3.1.2 fixes a problem with some of the headers in the CSV files generated for import to ADAMexam. You will want to update.
One of the major frustrations with this new testing platform is the lack of error reporting when importing accommodations.
It says everything was imported when whole columns didn't get in because of a trailing space in the header or something.

Your weekly IAR update

Fellow Illinoisans:

I know you all were wondering when the next version of the IARrific plugin /IARrific + ACCESS plugin would be coming out. After one whole week, the wait is over!
In version 3.1 I've added the option to have teachers edit accommodations. And if enabled, you can decide if teachers should have the ability to set “Alternative Assessment Indicator (DLM-AA)”.

Another minor update, changed how the "Extensions" accommodation validation works. If you read beyond the table in the field manual, you see that to use Extensions for ELA requires an IEP/504. While for science it required EITHER EL or IEP/504.

I really don't know what the future is going to be for these plugins. Once the new state screen comes out, will they be needed? 
My district will probably continue using this for the rest of the year, and worry about switching to new fields next year.

IAR/ISA Doomsday Clock

Fellow Illinoisans:

With my district starting ISA in less than a month, I couldn't wait for PowerSchool state reporting to come out with their solution for the new Illinois Administration Platform/ADAMexam system. So I took the time to rewrite the IARrific plugin (and it's bro the IARrific + ACCESS plugin) as a stopgap. 
In version 3 of these plugins, I'm reusing as many of the existing state fields as possible to house the accommodations for this new testing platform. Even so, I still had to create 12 new fields. The form validation has been updated to that listed in the "Spring 2025 Field Definitions Guide Accessibility and Accommodations Supplement".
Both plugins include a report to export an accommodations CSV file for import into ADAMexam. 

We need to settle on a nickname for this system. Is it IAP, as in Illinois Administration Platform? That is too close to IAR. 
Should we call it ADAM? The launchpad site says "IL Summative Administration Platform powered by ADAM". 
Should we just say PANv2?

Anyway, with the next state reporting update likely coming out at the end of February, it is up to you if you want to utilize this (hopefully) temporary solution.
