However, when state mandated tests are given all students take the same test that asks them the same questions. This is not differentiation. If we are to differentiate to meet needs of students, why aren't standardized tests differentiated as well? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I believe that you are 100% on the right track. Students have different ways that they learn and different goals and aspirations. I believe in our state and in our country that there is a disconnect between the jobs available and the training and education that students are receiving. I think that vocational and fine arts educational paths should be available to students who are not going to be college bound or have no interest in being college bound. Having alternative standards that are performance or task based would be very beneficial to students. More students would be engaged and less students would drop out of school due to frustration.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree with this post/answer. State tests should also be differentiated in some form/fashion.
