Book Synopsis Testing Accommodations for Students with Disabilities by : Benjamin J. Lovett
Download or read book Testing Accommodations for Students with Disabilities written by Benjamin J. Lovett and published by Applying Psychology in the Sch. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deciding whether to grant test accommodations for a student with disabilities is challenging and controversial. Current accommodations practice is seldom research based, and professionals charged with such decisions often reach different conclusions. The result can be either unnecessary accommodations that compromise test validity or the denial of accommodations to a student who needs them. In this book, Benjamin Lovett and Lawrence Lewandowski draw on research to offer clear, specific guidelines for deciding when accommodations are appropriate for a student with disabilities -- depending on the test being taken, the accommodations being considered, and the student's functional skills. The book also explains how laws and practices differ for K-12 accommodations versus postsecondary education and workplace accommodations, as well as how universal test design might lessen the need for test accommodations.

Book Synopsis Keeping Score for All by : National Research Council
Download or read book Keeping Score for All written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-09-02 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. public schools are responsible for educating large numbers of English language learners and students with disabilities. This book considers policies for including students with disabilities and English language learners in assessment programs. It also examines the research findings on testing accommodations and their effect on test performance. Keeping Score for All discusses the comparability of states' policies with each other and with the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) policies and explores the impact of these differences on the interpretations of NAEP results. The book presents a critical review of the research literature and makes suggestions for future research to evaluate the validity of test scores obtained under accommodated conditions. The book concludes by proposing a new framework for conceptualizing accommodations. This framework would be useful both for policymakers, test designers, and practitioners in determining appropriate accommodations for specific assessments and for researchers in planning validity studies.

Book Synopsis Testing Accommodations. NetNews. Volume 7, Number 1 by : Learning Disabilities Association, Minneapolis, MN.
Download or read book Testing Accommodations. NetNews. Volume 7, Number 1 written by Learning Disabilities Association, Minneapolis, MN. and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LDA (Learning Disabilities Association) of Minnesota receives many calls and emails regarding testing accommodations for large-scale testing programs. Callers include the test-takers themselves, parents, teachers, counselors, advocates, and an occasional attorney. The standardized tests they ask about include the GED, SAT and ACT (for college application), LSAT (for law school entry), MSAT (for medical school entry), or PRAXIS (for teacher licensure). Most express frustration and even exasperation over how difficult it is to receive approval for testing accommodations. Many have tried numerous times to pass these tests, scored poorly or failed, been assessed for a disability, and/or requested what they consider to be reasonable testing accommodations, but their requests are not approved. In summary, it is difficult to receive accommodations because large-scale tests are to be used in a standard manner to ensure validity, or the capability of a test to measure what it is intended to measure. There is also the issue of fairness, in that "standardization" implies all examinees should be tested in the same way--unless it is clearly documented that to do so would be unfair. Under several federal acts, reasonable accommodations are available in order to be fair and inclusive; however, most accommodations require documentation of a disability and the process for requesting and receiving approval can be time-consuming.

Book Synopsis The Differentiated Classroom by : Carol Ann Tomlinson
Download or read book The Differentiated Classroom written by Carol Ann Tomlinson and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2014-05-25 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although much has changed in schools in recent years, the power of differentiated instruction remains the same—and the need for it has only increased. Today's classroom is more diverse, more inclusive, and more plugged into technology than ever before. And it's led by teachers under enormous pressure to help decidedly unstandardized students meet an expanding set of rigorous, standardized learning targets. In this updated second edition of her best-selling classic work, Carol Ann Tomlinson offers these teachers a powerful and practical way to meet a challenge that is both very modern and completely timeless: how to divide their time, resources, and efforts to effectively instruct so many students of various backgrounds, readiness and skill levels, and interests. With a perspective informed by advances in research and deepened by more than 15 years of implementation feedback in all types of schools, Tomlinson explains the theoretical basis of differentiated instruction, explores the variables of curriculum and learning environment, shares dozens of instructional strategies, and then goes inside elementary and secondary classrooms in nearly all subject areas to illustrate how real teachers are applying differentiation principles and strategies to respond to the needs of all learners. This book's insightful guidance on what to differentiate, how to differentiate, and why lays the groundwork for bringing differentiated instruction into your own classroom or refining the work you already do to help each of your wonderfully unique learners move toward greater knowledge, more advanced skills, and expanded understanding. Today more than ever, The Differentiated Classroom is a must-have staple for every teacher's shelf and every school's professional development collection.

Book Synopsis Testing Accommodations for Students with Emotional Or Behavioral Disorders: a National Survey of Special Education Teachers by : Rahul Ganguly
Download or read book Testing Accommodations for Students with Emotional Or Behavioral Disorders: a National Survey of Special Education Teachers written by Rahul Ganguly and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federal legislation mandates all students, including those with emotional and behavioral disorders (E/BD), to participate in state assessments. For most students with E/BD, testing accommodations are necessary for participating in large scale state assessments. Yet years after the passage of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004 and Title 1 of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, there is a dearth of literature addressing testing accommodations used by students with E/BD on large scale state assessments. To address this gap, this study examined the testing accommodations used by students with E/BD on standardized assessments in reading and mathematics. The specific objectives of this study were to: (a) describe the personal, academic and behavioral characteristics of the students with E/BD who would most likely participate in state assessments, (b) identify the testing accommodations provided to the students with E/BD on state assessments in reading and mathematics, (c) explore the perceived functions of the testing accommodations for students with E/BD with respect to teachers0́9 perceptions and decision-making about accommodation use on state assessments, and (d) examine the differences in the number of testing accommodation, if any, as a function of personal, academic and behavioral characteristics of the students with E/BD. Data were collected in two phases. During the first phase, mail surveys were used to gather data from a nationwide sample of 290 elementary/middle school special education teachers. In the second phase of the study, qualitative phone interviews were conducted with a subset of 30 respondents to gather information about the decision making process used for recommending test accommodations. Quantitative as well as qualitative methods were used to analyze the data. The findings indicated that a majority of the students with E/BD who were most likely to participate in state assessments were male, white, and required prescription medicine to manage their emotional problems. Academically, reading and math skills of nearly two thirds of the sample were one or more years below grade level. Behaviorally, most of the students with E/BD in the sample exhibited externalized problem behaviors of moderate to severe intensity. On state assessments in both reading and mathematics, most students with E/BD received sets of accommodations. Testing accommodations included scheduling, setting, and presentation categories which were more often recommended than response and equipment/material categories. The five of the most often used testing accommodations in both reading and mathematics were extended time, small group testing, frequent breaks, read aloud directions, and praise/encouragement to continue. Audio/video equipment and magnification equipment were the least frequently used testing accommodations. On assessments in both reading and mathematics, the number of testing accommodation varied as function of student characteristics including ethnicity, diagnosis, primary educational setting, reading ability, math ability, anticipated student performance, and the severity of students0́9 behavioral problems. The strength of relationships between the dependent and independent variables ranged from small to large, with the severity of problem behaviors accounting for the largest variance. In this study, most teachers perceived the functions of testing accommodations as social/ behavioral. Follow-up interviews indicated the teachers0́9 decisions were often based on what the testing accommodations would do for the student: (a) increase access to test materials, or (b) optimize his/her performance during testing. In addition, teacher judgments outweighed data based evidence during the decision making process for selecting testing accommodations. The findings of this study have several implications for policy, research and practice. One of the key implications is to design tests that reduce the influence of negative emotional attributes such as test anxiety and frustration. Another key implication of this study is the need for teachers to undergo training to equip them with skills to not only select and monitor the effectiveness of the testing accommodations, but also to help students with E/BD deal with stress and anxiety on testing situations. A third implication of this study is the immediate need to develop research designs that evaluate the effectiveness of the sets of testing accommodations. The study concludes by discussing the limitations and highlighting areas for the future research on testing accommodations for students with E/BD.
