She has a SPED student in her classroom who is not performing on tests and her grades are suffering. The only testing accommodations in place now are small group testing. Mrs. Daisy has tried reading the test aloud to this student before and it makes a tremendous difference. Mrs. Daisy was told to not do this because they needed the negative data to prove that this student would benefit from further accommodations. Mrs. Daisy understands this, but is concerned because this student can not afford for her grades to drop any further. What can Mrs. Daisy do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) In order to meet the needs of data collection and the needs of the student, Mrs. Daisy can allow the student to take the assessment on her own. Mrs. Daisy can then remediate the student on the content and re-test, with the read-aloud accommodations. This will give the student an opportunity to pass but still give the ESP team the data needed to get the student the further accommodations needed for success.
