Personal Finance - ICR
In order to have the teaching/learning process take place in the least restrictive environment, classified students may be placed in a small group setting (English C) in accordance with their IEPs or 504s. Differentiated instruction, provided by the teacher for the course, and based on the course curriculum, addresses the needs of individual students. Classified students may be assisted by either a special education teacher, general education teacher, paraprofessional, and/or teacher assistant, again in accordance with their IEPs or 504s. The special education teacher wil ensure that accommodations and modifications prescribed in each student’s IEP or 504 are implemented.
A vast array of accommodations are made to more fully engage the Special Education student. Accommodations provide the basis for differentiated instruction/assessment that, in turn, allows the teaching/learning process to take place in the least restrictive environment. Each individual student’s IEP or 504 includes specific accommodations that must be provided to meet the child’s special needs. In some cases, accommodations needed by individual classified students can be used on a whole class basis to support all students in the class.
