This week I learned about all of the different kinds of assessments that are a part of the public school system. These assessments are used to measure certain levels of performance in different school subjects. All students are required to take these assessments but there are certain accommodations for students with disabilities. These accommodations include: extended time, frequent breaks, take the test in the special education room instead of the general education classroom, change the response and presentation format of the test so the student can understand. *please see the image below for more details about assessments.
Through these different assessments and tests teachers are able to determine the needs of a student. They will be able to know how to adapt the curriculum to help the student learn. They will know what the learning style and preference is for that student so they can change and adapt their lesson plans to benefit the student.
This reminds me of FAPE, which stands for Free Appropriate Public Education. I think this is a great example of how to make the curriculum appropriate for all students.
