TAKS (Accommodated)

The Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) measures a student’s mastery of the state-mandated curriculum, the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). TAKS includes a form called TAKS (Accommodated) for students served by special education who meet the eligibility requirements for specific accommodations. For further information regarding eligibility for TAKS (Accommodated), please see the publication titled Revised ARD Committee Decision-Making Process for the Texas Assessment Program. TAKS (Accommodated) will be available for all English and Spanish TAKS tests beginning in spring 2008, including retest opportunities for the Student Success Initiative (SSI) grades and subjects. Retest opportunities for exit level assessments will be offered beginning in July 2008.
