  Case: Too Many Assessments
As an Early Intervention Program teacher I support the classroom teachers' instruction in math. Many of the classroom teachers are requiring our EIP math students to complete a weekly quiz that is very challenging. The EIP students regularly fail the quiz, but the teachers continue to administer it and not change their instruction based on the previous results. What is the best way to address the issue so that the EIP students are effectively using their time to strengthen their skills instead of just getting a failing grade each week?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I had a similar situation with the ESE students from my Algebra 1 class. The ESE associate needs to talk to the regular math teacher and let her know that ESE students will not be able to complete these lengthy assessments. The teacher needs to make the necessary accommodations such as deceasing the number of problems that the students will solve, reading the word problems to the students, and providing extra time. Putting the ESE students in a situation like that is unfair and it will directly affect their self-confidence.

Comments: This solution is designated for ESE students, and although there can be similarities, there is no real correlation between accommodations needed for ESE kids and EIP children.
