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 may be a case of test anxiety, which can be worked on with coaching sessions. If the child does not have an IEP, but has an official diagnosis of Autism, I would consider a 504. This could offer accommodations such as small group testing, extended time, and frequent breaks.
