  Case: Testing Accomodations
Their is student in my class that has a slight learning disability. This student is in all co-teaching classes, does their work, and answers questions correctly when called on. However their test scores are failing and they don't ask for help when they are confused. What else can we do to help them understand the material and show that on assessments?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Maybe implement a method where the student can ask for help during assessments without causing a big scene. He/she could have something on the desk that they simply flip to a particular color if the assessment is not understood. Also, assessments can be given in a different format so that the student can be successful.

Comments: I agree with this solution and find it helpful. I use testing tags in my classroom. Students have colored tags on a metal ring and they flip to good to go, getting it, help, or done. This allows the student to show the teacher they need help without having to draw attention to themselves as the solution suggests.
