FTCE Professional Education Practice Exam

What must be done for accommodations to be made for students taking the FCAT?

1. Inform the classroom teacher

2. Include in the child's report card

3. Have it written on the IEP or 504 and used regularly

4. Apply only during standardized testing

The correct answer is: Have it written on the IEP or 504 and used regularly

Accommodations for students taking the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) must be clearly documented within the Individualized Education Program (IEP) or Section 504 Plan. This written documentation is crucial as it ensures that the accommodations are officially recognized and consistently implemented. Furthermore, having these accommodations outlined in the IEP or 504 plan means that they are not only available during standardized testing but should also be utilized in daily classroom activities, helping to provide a supportive educational environment for students with disabilities. This regular use reinforces the accommodations’ effectiveness and enables students to perform to the best of their abilities during testing situations. Thus, the requirement to have these accommodations explicitly documented and regularly employed is paramount for any supportive educational strategy aimed at providing equitable access to assessments like the FCAT.
