- changing the outcome - student only has to get near the box or the line (as predetermined by teacher)
- making accommodations - student is allowed some form of assistance (something on which to prop his hands, for example) in order to accomplish the task
- accomplishing the task over time - student is allowed an extended time period in which to accomplish the task
- evaluating based on improvement - student will be measured by improvement rather than mastery
- utilizing observation to measure effectiveness of the task - students will be assessed based on form or process rather than solely on the end result.
