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 should discuss the student with the gifted coordinator to figure out different strategies for assessing this student. It sounds like this student will do very well with a project based assessment or independent project that allows her to go deeper into the content area. It is also possible the student may have test anxiety. Allowing her to talk with the counselor might help in this case.
