  Case: ESE Teacher Vs. Regular Ed. Teacher
Mrs. Stella is a fourth grade teacher that has three ESE students included in her classroom with special accommodations. These ESE students test with Mrs. Stella when the ESE teacher is not available. She notices that her students are not performing as well on the tests with her. She offers her students extended time as part of their accommodation like their ESE teacher does. On the other hand, when the students get with their ESE teacher, these students score higher than usual on assessments.What is a solution to help Mrs. Stella get her students to perform as well as they do when they are with their ESE teacher?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I feel both teachers should sit down to discuss what the testing environment is like is the ESE teacher's room. I also pull student out for testing, and sometimes they score better with me then in the regular ed room because they feel more comfortable. They are in a quieter and less crowded environment where they feel more comfortable to ask questions. There could also be less anxiety within the smaller testing environment. I have found that all of these reasons can affect a students scoring on an assessment despite accommodation given.

Comments: Understanding ESE students slightly, I know that the environment and smaller setting can help the students do better on the assessments. Sitting with the other teacher is important to ensure that they are doing all they can for the child.
