Overview
It is important to scaffold students in their academic independence. That said, I adhere to students' IEP and Section 504 Plan accommodations, within the parameters of the law.
Students should advocate for their academic needs while also taking responsibility for their actions/inactions in the classroom.
The most common area of misconception regarding accommodations for students with IEPs and Section 504 Plans is related to extended time, missing work, and work completion.
Extended time
Extended time
IEPs
Students who receive extended time due to an IEP receive this accommodation when they are diligently working during class time.
Students who opt not to attempt their work during the classroom, regardless of the reason (completing work for another teacher, sleeping, playing on their phone, etc.) will not receive extended time.
Students are consistently redirected and reminded of classroom expectations during class time.
It is their academic responsibility to participate in classroom activities and assignments as directed.
Section 504 Plans
Students who receive extended time due to a Section 504 Plan receive this accommodation when they are diligently working during class time AND when their necessity for extended time is a result of the implication of their Section 504 Plan (low blood sugar due to diabetes, fainting spells, etc.).
Students who opt not to attempt their work during the class period, regardless of the reason (completing work for another teacher, sleeping, playing on their phone, etc.) will not receive extended time.
Students are consistently redirected and reminded of classroom expectations during class time.
It is their academic responsibility to participate in classroom activities and assignments as directed.
