E44. Test Taking Strategies

In this episode, we’re talking about a topic that can bring up a lot of mixed feelings in the special education world: test taking.

Benchmark assessments, state testing, and standardized exams can feel overwhelming and sometimes disconnected from what matters most in SPED. But here’s the shift we’re making today. We are not teaching to the test. We are teaching students how to show what they know. That is a life skill.

In this episode, Stephanie covers:

• How to explicitly teach three core test taking strategies

• Simple scaffolds and accommodations that support diverse learners

• Practical, no prep ways to embed these skills into your daily routine starting this week

We are not teaching to the test. We are teaching students how to show what they know. That is self advocacy. That is independence. That is real world skill building.
