Some things that it talked about was preparing the students well prior to the test by giving them study guides and tools to study and remember what they have learned. Then during the test, giving them time and materials to help them be successful. There are also many different types of tests that we can give them that will accurately reflect their accomplishments and what they have learned. For example there are hands on assessments, portfolio assessments, and a few more. Then after the test it is good to figure out how to grade them. I feel like it's good praise them on their accomplishments and let them know their competence rather than just a letter grade. Especially for young students with disabilities, the letter grade may not be helpful at all because they don't know what that means. It may confuse parents as well.
Therefore, it is important that we accommodate each student individually and assess/grade them accordingly. It is legal to change grading and tests if the student has a disability and an IEP requirement that they are set to meet.
