BENCHMARK TESTING ACCOMMODATIONS

CBA’s and Six week Tests (school created)

Both of these tests have different uses

Are you giving accommodations on these tests? 

Do you use the same grade level test? 

Do you use a lower grade level test depending on the student's ability level?

If so, how are you accommodating them? If not, how/where do the students take these tests? 

What kind of preparation do you do with the students before the test, if any?

Do you scan these results into AWARE?  

NOTE FROM HAN
Resource teachers report doing what accommodations you would do on the STAAR test.  Suggestion- initial students should have the first CBA without accommodations so you can justify accommodations are needed to be successful for CBAs and STAAR assessments.
