Hi Michael, Dean and all,
Since I typically administer the iRATs at or near the beginning of class, like Dean, I allow them to start early- during the break between classes. However, TBL iRATs have caused an interesting phenomenon. Students with disabilities very rarely take me up on this opportunity. The 5 minute rule has almost eliminated the need for even special needs students to start early.
Best,
Holly
