  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!)
The lead teacher should consider reading aloud the test(s) as embedded differentiation. This allows for the student to still receive his or her services. The ESP teacher can then be utilized to ensure the fidelity of student services and appropriate accommodations are implemented.
