Parent Tips and Tools
The Parent Tips and Tools include a set of documents that are specifically designed for parent use. The navigation documents contain both a short version and a more detailed guide for use with the NCSC wiki.
Sample Items
Students can access multiple sample items for both ELA and Mathematics prior to the beginning of the test window. The sample items are located in the MSAA Online Assessment platform.
Parent Resources
Presentations and interactive modules designed to supplement written NCSC materials as well as written summaries about the NCSC project, explore teaching and learning for students with significant cognitive disabilities, and provide broad coverage of topics of interest to educators and parents alike.
TIES Center
TIES Center is the national technical assistance center on inclusive practices and policies. Its purpose is to create sustainable changes in kindergarten-grade 8 school and district educational systems so that students with significant cognitive disabilities can fully engage in the same instructional and non-instructional activities as their general education peers while being instructed in a way that meets individual learning needs.
