Case: Self-Esteem
I have a particular student who does great in class. She participates, completes homework, loves to come to the board and is excited to learn. However, when it comes to assessments, she freezes. She literally can't do the work unless I stand over her throughout the test. She has no self-confidence in the exams. She stays after and can find all her mistakes and rework without me. I believe she needs testing modifications and have spoken with a counselor on this matter and no help. What should I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
As a special education teacher I deal with students having test taking anxiety a lot. Testing modification are usually given to student who have a learning defect, and it doesn't seem like she has that. I really don't think testing modification are needed since she knows the information. I would try to give her some accommodation. For example give her a few questions at a time so she is not overwhelmed with the number of questions. You could also try having her drink sips of water during the test to help her focus and stay calm. Last but not least you could also give her preferential seating during testing that way she sits in a seat she is comfortable in with out being distracted by others finishing. If you find that one of these accommodation works you can then contact her other teacher to have them use the same accommodation in their rooms. |

| Comments: The solution makes sense and is very doable. Accommodations and modifications are entirely two different interventions for students as the responder alludes. Also, encouraging the student to research testing anxiety would be a great solution because the student may find that she has more in common with others and might potentially find a strategy that works for her. |
