  Case: SPED Testing
Mr. Oster has an inclusion class for U.S. History where he must differentiate the assessments. Hid SPED students take an exam that has reduced answer choices. Many of the students could actually take the on-level exam and if they studied could perform at mastery level. However, since the students know they are taking an exam that is in fact easier, they do not apply themselves to study on participate in class. The lack of academic challenge is actually hindering their overall growth as a student. Mt. Oster would like to change this, but he is required to differentiate their assessments according to their IEPs. How should Mr. Oster approach this problem with assessment?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If the student has an IEP the teacher has to follow it, however, differentiating test doesn't mean it has to be a completely different test. The way I differentiate my assessments is reading the test, more time to take the test, explaining vocabulary. It really depends on what the IEP states.

Comments: This solution follows guidelines but may not support student improvement. This may be a case of students outgrowing their IEP, in which the IEP would need to be amended rather than enforced every time.
