Support success in assessments
Discuss with students what support they need to demonstrate their understanding in tests and assessments.
Talk about:
- possible barriers created by the physical environment: unfamiliar layout of a room, lighting, temperature
- possible barriers created by the design of materials: cluttered presentation, hard-to-read diagrams, unclear layout, hard-copies only
- ways to manage time allocations such as using visual timers
- negotiating breaks and extra time
- managing anxiety through mindfulness, positive self-talk, and identifying solutions to anticipated problems prior to the assessment
- using digital technologies such as text-to-speech and predictive text or a reader-writer
- pre-teaching specific test skills, such as how to approach multiple choice questions.
