show their knowledge of a specific

Topic.

Or is the goal for them to be better test takers?

And like the answer could be one or the other.

But I think that that's a good way for teachers to start looking at that and to start having those conversations is because it is I mean, it is a valid thing.

If you have a student who needs to learn how to take tests, to name that out loud and say, you know, what we're going to learn here today is how to take this specific kind of test, right?

Because this is part of what we do here in school.

And it also can take some of the pressure off the student feeling like they have to do

perfectly on that exam.

And I think that part of what we get caught up in is we need them to know the things, we need them to know how to do the test, we need them to be able to do it on time and all of those kinds of things.

And for some teachers, it's really helpful to break down the what are we doing today?

Are we learning how to take a test?

Are we learning the material that's gonna be on the test?

Or are we learning how to do it in a certain amount of time?

Right.

And so those goals exist in preparing for testing if you really start to think about it.

I don't think we always have time to think about it, so I name it out loud so teachers can have a moment and say

Oh, there's actually more to this than just I have to get them ready, right?

And I would add that there is specifically in IEPs, there's specifically a section around accommodations for state level tests.

So parents, if your child has an IEP, make sure that you have that conversation at the IEP meeting around what accommodations they may need.
