What are the potential benefits for students, teachers, parents, and school district?
A. We anticipate that a number of benefits could result from our project: Students: Students in your school will have an opportunity to practice taking a standardized test similar to the state test and to receive feedback on their strengths and weaknesses, both with general test-taking and in specific content areas. Finally, students will spend time positively interacting with graduate students in school psychology. Teachers: Teachers in your school will have an opportunity to examine appropriate testing accommodations and their effects on test performance of their students, feedback about students’ strengths and weaknesses (if the parents consent to the sharing of this information), and potential training on accountability, large-scale assessment, and the inclusion of students with disabilities in state testing. Finally, teachers will receive an honorarium of $100 for their participation in this study. Parents: The parents of all students with disabilities will receive useful feedback
