Correct Response: C. According to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), assessments that are used to determine an English learner's eligibility for special education must be administered in the student's dominant language. IDEA Part B stipulates that assessment and evaluation materials must be free of racial or cultural bias. IDEA does not stipulate that materials and procedures used to instruct English learners must include translations or transcriptions in a student's first language (A), that English learners must meet the same academic content and student achievement standards all students are expected to meet (B), or that English learners must be provided with peer mentors who can communicate in the students' first language as well as in English (D).
