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 state fields uploaded to PAN. ACCESS accommodations however are not state fields. So the plugin will create the fields as database extensions under the table U_ACCESS_ACCOM.
If you have the SQLreports plugin installed I also have a SQLreport template below you can import and use to generate the .csv file needed to mass update accommodations in WIDA/AMS.
In addition, there are a couple optional SQLreport templates you can download. One can be used if you would like to backup of all IAR/ISA fields. The other can be used to clear all IAR/ISA fields. Thank you Rich for the reports!
*** You must have the 24.3 or later state reporting update installed before updating to version 2.0 of this plugin! The fields have literally changed! ***
Installation / Setup:
- Go to System - System Settings - Plugin Management Configuration.
- If you are updating from a previous version, first delete the current plugin version. Then Install the new zip file.
- Enable the Plugin (THIS WILL CREATE DATABASE EXTENSIONS ON YOUR PS SERVER).
- 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).
- If you wish to hide the "Proctor/School Provided Administration Considerations" sections of the student page you can do so in District > Miscellaneous. They are displayed by default.
- The SQLreport templates can be imported if you have the SQLreports plugin installed by going to Data and Reporting > Reports > SQLreports. Click the Import a New sqlReport link and copy/paste in everything from the template file.
