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!) There are two areas to address with this student. First, classroom testing accommodations should be used which relate to the recommendations of the school psychologist. Small group, extended time, and read aloud are possible accommodations for this student. The next factor which should be considered is the rigor of the curriculum. If the student does their work and answers the questions in class correctly then they should be passing the test. A disconnect between what is taught and what is measured could be the cause of the deficiencies.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree with the disconnect. That needs to be addressed first. Rated On: October 18, 2014 6:45 pm Rated By: Amy McBride
