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!) All testing accommodations should be reviewed by the Gen Ed teacher. Extended time is one of many possible accommodations. A small group setting or having the test read could be helping the student. A large setting could contribute to testing anxiety and result in poor performance.
