However, when state mandated tests are given all students take the same test that asks them the same questions. This is not differentiation. If we are to differentiate to meet needs of students, why aren't standardized tests differentiated as well? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) While I understand your position and question,, there are some state differentiation in the way that we assess. This differentiation is known as testing accommodations. There is also a portfolio state test known as the Georgia Alternate Assessment for students with significant intellectual disabilities. In previous years, in Georgia, there was a modified version of the state test (CRCT) known as the CRCT-M (modified). This year, we are all a little nervous because this was replaced by the GA Milestones. This test has no modified version. I believe that there should be more differentiation in our state mandated tests.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Yes, accommodations are differentiated test techniques.
