personalities and different ways of learning that works for them. For example, one student may learn better by watching somebody work out a math problem with tangible items, while another student may learn better by hearing someone speak about a topic. Tests like FCAT do not allow students to fully immerse themselves in the learning process, thus making standardized testing more difficult for students who do not necessarily fit the mold of the type-A student good at memorizing a few strategies…

this study is the rationale for using out-of-level testing. There are three main themes to this sections.
