Case: Won't Show What She Knows
There is a student in Mrs. Moreland's second grade class that is extremely smart. Her work is great and she is doing better than anyone in the class. However, when it comes to assessing, she says she doesn't want to do it and that she isn't going to do it. As a result, all of the students test scores are the lowest in the class. The teacher has documented and the teacher has used incentives. She has also made administration aware but administration has said that the test scores are the data they are looking at. What can the teacher do in this scenario?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Mrs. Moreland can change the format of the assessment, if able, to something that interests the child. A student that is able to show what they know if a way that is interesting to them they are more likely to complete it than just doing an assessment that does not interest them. |

Comments: I like this solution although I also think the student may suffer from test anxiety. If there is a way to assess the student without them knowing they are being assessed this may work. |

Comments: I agree that changing the format of the assessment could help the student with the willingness problem. While this will help with the assessment scores, I think that it would be wise to have the student speak with a counselor to find the underlying problem too. Tests are going to be mandatory at some point whether liked or not, it is important to learn to deal with them as well. |

Comments: Some students are simply not test takers. It is important to have multiple types of assessment in order to make sure all students get a chance to show their knowledge if different ways. |
