Teachers' Knowledge of Accommodations as a Validity Issue in High-Stakes Testing.
Hollenbeck, Keith; Tindal, Gerald; Almond, Patricia
Journal of Special Education, v32 n3 p175-83 Fall 1998
A survey of 166 regular and special-education teachers concerning allowable accommodations on statewide assessment tests found only 21% reported that they used allowed accommodations. Teachers' knowledge of allowable accommodations was low and suggests some students are unnecessarily exempted from participation. Results support preservice and inservice training in allowable accommodations. (DB)
