  Case: Help during test
Mrs. Chin is a fourth grade teacher who is struggling to help a low performing student with assessments. He always wants to sit right beside her to take a test. She usually reads him the material because she wants to test math skills, not reading. However, he has gotten used to this and refuses to test without her right there beside him. She must continue to monitor the other students, and help him too. What should she do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would slowly wean this student off of having this sort of assistance during a test because even if an paraprofessional came in to monitor the other students, when the student moves to the next grade, there may not be an opportunity for the student to have this type of assistance again, which makes this more of an issue.
