Abstract

Educators have long been faced with the challenge of evaluating student performance. Even in a time when education excluded many of those with diverse learning needs, grading and reporting were difficult tasks. Now the issues surrounding grading and reporting have become even more complex. Although the focus of this paper is students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), our country's overall goal is to provide a free appropriate public education (F APE) to all students. One way to determine the appropriateness of education is to evaluate student performance, but there are many ways to conduct those evaluations.
