What do scheduling accommodations involve in the context of assessments?

Scheduling accommodations are designed to provide students with the necessary modifications related to the timing and scheduling of assessments to support their individual needs. This can involve allowing additional time for students to complete the assessment, altering when the assessments take place, or providing breaks during lengthy testing.

These accommodations recognize that some students may require adjustments due to various factors, such as disabilities that affect their attention, processing speed, or stamina. By modifying the time constraints or the testing schedule, educators can create a more equitable assessment environment that enables all students to demonstrate their knowledge and skills more effectively.

In contrast, the other options focus on different aspects: changes in communication of test results, alterations to the assessment materials, and adjustments to grading scales, which do not directly address the timing and structure of the assessment itself.
