Scheduling - Timeline Administer the assessment over the three week testing window. Provide more testing time, frequent breaks and adjust materials to attention span. Allow students to continue working on each subtest as long as they are productively engaged. Time for individual students will vary considerably on a performance assessment. Administer the assessment at a time of day most beneficial to students.
Settings Allow students to use study carrels or other private space.
Assess students individually or in a small group to reduce distractions. Provide special lighting, furniture, or acoustics. Allow low level of calming music or nature sounds to reduce distractions. Allow freedom for students to move or stand as needed. Assist the students in tracking the assessment items by pointing or placing a finger on the item.
