PLEASE READ: The IAR/ISA part of this plugin is a temporary solution that repurposes IAR/ISA state fields from previous years to store accommodations for the new 2025 Illinois Administration Platform until PowerSchool state reporting becomes available. The accommodations are a bit different between PAN and the new Illinois Administration Platform. Therefore I did have to create 12 new fields, in addition to using some of the state fields.
From what I understand, the state reporting updating coming around the end of February will include new fields, new student screen, and new report for recording/uploading. But my district will be testing by then. If your district is in the same position, feel free to us this plugin.
This plugin version includes a report called IAR/ISA Accommodations Upload 2025 which is linked at the bottom of the Data and Reporting > Reports > Compliance Reports page.
I've done my best to make sure that the CSV files generated from this report upload correctly into the Illinois Administration Platform/ADAMexam system.
If you are in Illinois and participate in IAR testing... You most likely also participate in ACCESS 2.0 testing.
So why not track accommodations for both tests on a single student screen.
This plugin includes all the bells and whistles of IARrific PLUS has a section at the bottom of the student screen to track ACCESS 2.0 accommodations.
The ACCESS section is only made available if a student is marked both LEP (S_IL_STU_X.LEP) and either IEP (S_IL_STU_X.IEP) or 504 (S_IL_STU_Plan504_X.Participant).
IAR accommodations are (mostly) state fields uploaded to ADAM. ACCESS accommodations however are not state fields. So the plugin will create the fields as database extensions under the table U_ACCESS_ACCOM.
There is also a "ACCESS Accommodations Upload" link at the bottom of Data Reporting > Reports > Compliance Reports you can use to generate a .csv file needed to mass update accommodations in WIDA/AMS (updated for the 24-25 import format on 12/27/24).
New in version 3.2: There is now a "IAR/ISA Print Student Test Tickets" link at the bottom of Data Reporting > Reports > Compliance Reports you can use to generate IAR/ISA testing tickets grouped by home_room, grade_level, or class expression(s). Figure districts (mine included) might want to sort tickets in ways other than alphabetical like ADAMexam does it.
Also moved the "ACCESS Accommodations Upload" report into the plugin proper, instead of relying on SQLreports.
*** You must have the 24.9.2.1.2 or later state reporting update installed before updating to version 3.0 of this plugin! ***
Post Install Setup:
- Set page permissions on the new IAR/ISA/DLM/ACCESS student screen so only those groups editing/viewing IAR/ACCESS test info can access it (optional but encouraged).
- Optionally turn on editing in the teacher portal by going to District Management > District Setup > Additional System Preferences.
