ACCOMMODATIONS for students with special needs: Does your online assessment support: Extended Time? Text-to-speech (headphones)? Test Readers? Other supports? The student’s plan take precedence over typical testing protocols, BUT accommodations usually can NOT apply to just ONE specific test. For example, if a student’s plan allows more time to complete ONLINE testing then more time must also be allowed for for ALL testing.

Tech must support homework  Limited tech use DURING class  Online testing builds LIFE skills  Communication AFTER content
