Hello,

If the issue is one of extra time or a less stressful environment, I have had students take the iRAT a few minutes before class with one of our Administrative Assistants down the hall and then come into class in time to start the tRAT portion with the team.  I have also had students take the test at the Disability Services location and then come into class.

This has worked pretty well.  It is helpful to time it to have the individual travel to class while you are in the classroom, so that no-one is tempted to ask them what is on the iRAT.

Nice to see another Social Work TBL-er!

Hello,

Hope all are well! Have any of you ever had students with special testing needs in your classes? I’m using team-based learning this semester and I have a student who has to do her tests in the disability offices. I feel like it’s definitely going to impact the process with her team.

For those that have experienced this--how have you handled this?

Sincerely,

Allison
