  6. Test vs modified test

  7. Suggestions for Modified Tests • 1. Start with your assessment. • Know what specific concepts are tested • 2. Teach your lesson making sure tested concepts are included. • If applicable make sure students get plenty of in class time to complete example problems or apply new concepts taught. • 3. Create your modified test using the TEA Modification Guidelines for STAAR Modified. • Modified tests should be clean and formatted as close to regular test as possible • Color study guides help tremendously • 4. Create a concept specific study guide geared towards the assessment. • Include similar worked examples when appropriate. • Give to SPED students at least a minimum of 2 class days before assessment. • 5. Make time to review as a class. “Pull it all together” one final time. • All students will benefit from this: SPED, 504, ESL, unidentified, etc.
