FV Indiana is hearing from families who have questions about the IMAST and would like to know more before entering a Case Conference where decisions about what type of state wide assessment a student will take are made. We encourage families to view a DOE memo on this subject at: http://www.doe.in.gov/super/2010/02-February/021210/documents/memo_imast.pdf The final page of this memo provides a look at "Criteria for Determining Participation in the Alternate Assessment."
