  Case: Resource
Teaching resource classes for the first time , Mrs. R feels like she is not modifying test enough. When she ask fellow teachers, they state that the GA Milestones will not be modified. Should I still modify classroom test or slowly take modifications away from my students to prepare them for the state assessment? Or should I completely take all accommodations that will not be offered on the assessment away immediately?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Continue to modify classroom work and instruction and as students begin reaching a level of mastery slowly take away accommodations for that concept until there are no accommodations and students and students are mastering concepts on their own.

Comments: I agree with this solution. Taking away the accommodations all at once will be daunting to students and may cause them to perform poorly as a result. Gradually removing accommodation as students demonstrate mastery and confidence will be key to helping students eventually achieve without their accommodations in the future.
