  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!)
Teachers should read aloud to all students. It helps the general ed as well.

Comments: By reading aloud to all students, the general ed students may become dependent on this accommodation that will not be provided for them during standardized testing, setting them up for potential failure. Teachers should only provide accommodations as they are outlined in IEPs, 504 plans, or ELL mod plans. Accommodations are not designed to give students an advantage, but to allow them access to the general ed curriculum.
