The Resource teacher organizes Educational Assistant (E.A.) support for identified students to better succeed when they write their final exams.  

Department of Education Approved Supports listed below

*Alternate place to write exam, less distractions   

 

* Supervised movement break to refocus

*Reading the exam questions                                    

 

 *Use of computer to type answers

 *Check the exam question and student’s understanding of what that question is asking them to do (this does not involve telling students the answer to the question)

 *Restating the word with another word that means the same thing but is more familiar to the student

 *Scribe: E.A. writes exactly what the student says with no changes to the answer given by the student

 *Cue: remind student of an activity they did in class to jump start their memory 

Please know that support during the exam follows strict rules to preserve the validity of the exam and simply evens the playing field for your son/daughter to realistically show what they learned in the above courses.
