Case: Twice Exceptional Student
Ms. Thomas has a student who is Austic and Gifted in Math and Science. He does well during his formative Assessments throughout the week. When it comes to his summative assessments he is failing every time. Ms. Thomas teaches a reading class and this student is struggling. He does his homework. He completes his classwork, but is consistently failing his test. She is concerned about this ability to take the standardized test at the end of the year. What should she do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This student should have accommodations in place and it is likely they are not being used. Refer to his IEP for instructional and testing accommodations. Also, review his reading level and the level at which the tests are written. He may have a "read passages" accommodation and might not be receiving it. Try alternative assessments such as portfolios and assessments involving rubrics. |

Comments: Students that are twice exceptional are often misunderstood. Your recommendation of ensuring that the students' IEP (if any) is being followed may increase the students chances of doing well on standardized reading tests. |

Comments: A students IEP can usually clear up any issues a teacher may have. It is always smart to review a students IEP and see if there is anything that you have missed as a teacher and make accommodations from there. |
