Now in an updated and expanded second edition, Improving Test Performance Of Students With Disabilities... On District And State Assessments by Judy L. Elliott (Assistant Superintendent of Special Education, Long Beach Unified School District, Long Beach, California) and Martha L. Thurlow (Director of the National Center on Education Outcomes and a special education researcher for the past fifteen years) offers classroom instructors and school staff members a wealth of strategies for improving instructions, optimizing student accomodations, and test preparation guidelines to aid students with unique learning challenges. Self-tests to double-check the depth of one's knowledge and understanding pepper this straightforward guide grounded heavily in practicality, and sample tables and worksheets designed to engage instructors and learners help with a "hands-on" approach above and beyond dry theory. An excellent resource particularly for public school educators.
