Evaluation
Letting students know well in advance of test dates gives them the opportunity to make arrangements for test proctoring. Provide multiple ways for students to demonstrate knowledge, including tests, papers, group work, demonstrations, portfolios, presentations, peer mentoring, and cooperative learning. Give more frequent exams that are shorter in length; ex. A test every two chapters, rather than just a midterm and a final. Expect the same quality of work from a student with disabilities as you do from your other students. You are not doing them a favor by accepting inferior work, by assigning mercy grades, or by passing a student who has not mastered the course material.
