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 a student's IEP includes testing accommodation, the teacher is required to follow it. Testing accomodations do not have to include adapting the test to include fewer answer choices. An accommodation could be something as simple as testing in a small group or reading the test questions and answers aloud to the student. If the students are able to perform at a mastery level it is also possible for their IEP's to be amended. The teacher could give them the regular test and just test them in a different setting.                 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: This may be the best solution as it incorporates diverse sets of accommodations while also proposing an ammendment to their IEPs in the case of mastery level expression.
