The kids I'm talking about DID HAVE reading accommodations, but
that didn't matter to our test coordinators! We could not read
even the instructions to our SPED kids on that test. We even
took the sections (Reading and Lang.)on two different days!!!
Our STC and DTC said that ruling was from MDE and conveyed to
them at a testing training seminar. If only those folks (with
all their advanced degrees and impressive job titles) who make
these wonderful decisions had to spend a week or two observing
the "real world" at our schools and in our classrooms (not the
pre-arranged, staged, photo-opt visits), they might think twice
before making such rulings!
