Indiana’s Alternate Measure (I AM) measures student achievement and growth according to Indiana’s Content Connectors aligned to the Indiana Academic Standards. I AM is the summative accountability assessment for students with significant cognitive disabilities in grades 3-8 and high school. It assesses English/Language Arts (Grades 3-8 and 10), Mathematics (Grades 3-8 and 10), Science (Grades 4, 6, and Biology), and Social Studies (Grade 5).
A Case Conference Committee determines if a student’s participation in the I AM is appropriate, utilizing the criteria for determining eligibility to participate.
Students participate in the I AM assessment once a year in the spring.
