In an inclusional-instructive classroom, is the teacher expected to modify the classwork for the disabled student or rather maintain that the student is able to do the same level material as the other students?
Re: Question?
Marge, as a spec. ed. teacher I let all of my teachers know of the modifications that need to be made for my students.
Many are simple to do such as:
extend time
shorten assignments
give clear, short directions
don’t require LD students to copy off board, provide notes, or have a buddy do them
Doing these modifications really eases the frustration of the LD student, and that is the most important thing. There is a checklist of modifications in the information section.
Not only does the reg. ed. teacher modify, I modify too (actually I do most of it) hope this helps
Re: Question?
If there are modifications accepted in the IEP for an instructional area, the teacher is required to use those modifications.
