Reaction paper by; Licda: Sylvia Johnson S.


Accommodations Policy

Make sure you have an accommodations policy for students who have medical problems or are physically challenged.



Create a positive attitude toward testing.

Use tests to motivate your students by convincing them that their test results will be used to help them learn.



Be transparent.

Explain the test purpose to students and what the test results will be used for.



Prepare policies and procedures well in advance.

Make sure that everyone involved in test administration is aware of policies and procedures. Questions or concerns should be raised at a time apart from test.



Refrain from helping students who are having difficulty.

As teachers, it is only natural to want to help who are having difficulty time. However, this is unfair to those students who have prepared sufficiently. Resist the urge to help students and do not give hints.



Adopt a special needs assessment policy.

Make sure you have accommodation policy in place for students who have special needs.
