Unlisted Resources for alternate assessment

# data[].attributes.body
The decision making tool requires unlisted resources for a 4 on many if not all of the rubrics. It would be helpful to know what types of things are being asked for because there are many students who need to take alternate assessments, but the test formate is what is required, not necessarily other accommodations. The accepted unlisted resources are not helpful for these students as they would not be able to use dictionaries and the like. Could we get some examples please?

Types of Student Accessibility Resources

Universal tools are available to all students on the basis of student preference and selection.

Designated supports are available to all students when determined for use by an educator or team of educators (with parent/guardian and student input, as appropriate) or specified in the student's individualized education program (IEP) or Section 504 plan.

Accommodations must be permitted to all eligible students taking CAASPP and ELPAC tests if specified in the student's IEP or Section 504 plan.

Unlisted resources are not universal tools, designated supports, or accommodations. Unlisted resources shall be made available if specified in the eligible student's IEP or Section 504 plan and only with approval from the California Department of Education (CDE).

How to Assign Accessibility Resources

Coordinators

In the Test Operations Management System (TOMS), accessibility resources are called test settings. Test settings for summative assessments can be applied by local educational agency (LEA) coordinators or site-level coordinators in TOMS.

LEA and site coordinators can use the following videos to learn how to assign student test settings and request unlisted resources.

Coordinators can also find more information about test settings in the Students chapter of the TOMS User Guide and in the CAASPP and ELPAC Accessibility Guide.

Educators

Students' preset test settings from TOMS will be present in the TA Interface for summative assessments as well as all interim assessments. In addition, educators can temporarily assign test settings in the TA Interface for a specific interim assessment, but they will be set only for the administration of that specific test. Refer to the CAASPP and ELPAC Interim Assessments web page for more information about administering interim assessments.

If a student should be assigned a test setting for summative assessments, educators should communicate with their LEA or site coordinator to assign it in TOMS.
