Topic 9: Test-Taking Accommodations

Taking tests often makes students anxious. By using a few techniques to enhance the presentation of the material a teacher could alleviate some of the apprehension. Some techniques are to create dropdown lists where a student could choose the correct option, to provide examples of how to best answer the question, or to make available visual direction clues.

Objectives

• Participants will create drop down menus to allow students to pick correct answers from a word list.
• Participants will create visuals to alert students to stop or go on in a document.
• Participants will use the text box tool or the callout options to create hints and tips on a document.
