  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!)
First of all I suggest that the student take a learning inventory assessment that helps identify the student's learning style. After determining the student's learning style give the student an alternative assessment that addresses his learning style. You may also consider giving this student his/her assessments one on one, possibly with a paraprofessional or the other co-teacher. Finally, I suggest that this student may need to take their assessments in a different setting away from the other students.
