  Case: CR on Assessments
My students are expected to take the same assessment as the general ed students, but most of them refuse to answer the constructive response questions, or they answer with "IDK". What should I do about this situation.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Teach students how to break down the questions to get them more comfortable with what the question is asking. Also teach them a strategy for answering them, such as R.A.C.E. Restate the question, Answer the question, Cite evidence, Explain the evidence. Model this strategy for them. It will take time to get a perfect answer, but you will start getting more than "IDK" or them leaving it blank.
