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!) This is a frustration of all teachers who prepare students for mandates tests. It would be impossible to truly differentiate for all students who need to be assessed. Teachers must focus on what they can control, which is how they differentiate content for their learners and doing the best that they can to prepare the students for the tests that they will have to take.
