Test Adaptations • Limit questions to core concepts • Change format of test (essay to multiple choice & vice versa)
Social InteractionSupport • Sharing information about student’s disability with class • Involving classmates in student interventions
Modifications and Accommodations are not the same, although they are often used interchangeably.
Accommodations are changes in HOW a student accesses information and demonstrates learning.
Accommodations are allowances for a disability that can be made without compromising the level of instructionor the expectations of the course.
Modificationsare significant changes in whata student is expected to learn and demonstrate.
Modifications • Major changes inWHATa student is expected to • learn and demonstrate in the curriculum • while participating in regular education classses • This may include: different instructional outcomes, • modified requirements for success, • fewer concepts, • less details, • or deletion of some part of curriculum.
A very few special educationstudents have provisions in their IEP for modifications or a modified curriculum.
If it is obvious that a modifiedcurriculum will be needed, it is developed at the beginning of the course.
In most cases, however, • the need for a modifiedcurriculum cannot be determined • until after the student has been in the course for 3-6 weeks.
Developing a modified curriculum… The case manager and the content teacher are responsible for developing the modified curriculumcollaboratively.
Activity • Modifications/Accommodations Quiz • Place an “A” next to an accommodation and an “M” next to a modification • When done, we will review as a group
Case Study • Select one of your students with an IEP that contains supplemental aids about which you have questions (5 minutes) • Let’s discuss your questions and suggestions as a large group (10 minutes) • If we didn’t have time to discuss your question, how can you get this information?
How to get answers • Attend the Special Education Open House!North Campus:South Campus: • Contact the student’s case manager (at top right of the IEP At-a-Glance document).
