  Case: Different level assessments
If John is a struggling learner and Anna is an advanced learner, is it fair to give John easier assessments and harder assessments for Anna?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think that this is the perfect chance to utilize tiered assessments. Like another user stated, as long as the same standard is being assessed, you have the freedom to choose the assessment tool that you believe is appropriate based on the needs of your students.

Comments: I agree with this solution. Just like rewording a question during the FCAT is allowed, using different tests should be allowed as well. It's the same concept.
