  Case: Serving Students with Disabilities
A teacher has four classes, in which two classes are inclusion settings (contains students with disabilities, many are severe). There are students who need extended time to complete formative and summative assessments; however, there are only forty minutes allotted for each class period. There are also students who have to be pulled out for read-aloud assessments; however, there is one ESP resource teacher who can pull them out for testing. What can be done to ensure that these students test successfully, while still maintaining a comfortable testing environment for my regular education students?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Consider the possibility of seeking the assistance of a paraprofessional on assessment days. Then one of you could take the group of students that require extended time. As a inclusion teacher, I realize that some general education students need extended time ss well. Therefore the group could consist of general and special education students.

Comments: I think that allowing the students to test outside of the classroom without interruption will help them for the test while not interfering with the schedules.

Comments: If there are a limited amount of teachers able to administer the tests, seeking additional assistance to accommodate testing according to the students' IEP's would be the easiest plan.
