  Case: Testing accommodations
A teachers teaches in a co-taught environment. However, the resource teacher is only in the room during CCGPS instruction and only serves students for those subjects (math and literacy). If students have testing accommodations such as reading aloud of test questions, and other students do not, how should the teacher meet the needs of the students while not infringing on their rights to privacy?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The teacher should test the group in a small group setting so that he or she could still provide the appropriate accommodations for the students. In order to make this possible, the teacher may have to test the students at a different time than the other students so the reading aloud of the test will not interfere with the other students' focus and attention. The teacher must provide the accommodations, whether or not if the resource teacher is present within the classroom.

Comments: I agree most with this solution. If the students are supposed to receive read-aloud accommodations, then the student should be tested in a small group setting. I often have to pull students in from recess or PE once a week so I can read their assessments to them. Yes, I am taking away one day of their recess or PE time, but that is the only time I have available that is "free" from other students. I read my assessments aloud to all students until Christmas, then they have to start reading them on their own to get ready for third grade. Of course my students do better as a whole when I read everything aloud to them.

Comments: I think it's a good idea to test at different times so that they are well accommodated and the other students aren't distracted.
