  Case: Won't Show What She Knows
There is a student in Mrs. Moreland's second grade class that is extremely smart. 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!)
I would talk with other teachers and academic/instructional coaches and come up with alternative ways to assess this student.
