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!) Good point. I don't understand why our systems are so reliant on state mandated standardized tests when we learn in our teaching classes that they are not the best ways to evaluate student growth. I think that students with IEPs and 504's have testing accommadations that are meant to meet thier needs. I think you brought up a very intersting question that I wish could be addressed on a larger scale.
