Ohio Assessments for Educators (OAE) 2025 Assessment of Professional Knowledge Practice Exam – All-in-One Resource for Exam Success

Adapted expectations in test modifications recognize that students have diverse learning needs and abilities, which can significantly affect their performance on assessments. This approach allows for the alteration of the grading scale to accommodate cognitive differences among students. By adjusting expectations, educators can provide a more equitable assessment environment that takes into account individual learning profiles and challenges.

This means that rather than applying a uniform grading scale that may not accurately reflect a student's understanding or skills due to these differences, educators can tailor expectations to offer a fairer assessment of what students have learned. This modification supports all learners, particularly those with learning disabilities, by ensuring their assessments are aligned with their capabilities, thereby promoting inclusivity and understanding in the educational process.
