  Case: SPED, IEP, and RTI
85% of my class is either SPED, IEP, or on Tier 3 in the RTI process.I am so overwhelmed with the new Georgia Milestone coming up. I teach third grade, and we have constructive response questions this year. I get excited when they write a complete sentence. We are working hard to use evidence from the text and get their stamina up for reading, but the students become so overwhelmed and shut down. Does anyone have any advice for me?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I teach 8th grade math to special ed students and we started using sentence starters and hints or reminders on our tests for the constructed response questions. The students seem to respond much better when they have a little bit of prompting. Gradually throughout the year, we have scaled back on the hints so that they get used to self-starting, but it was a great way initially to build their confidence in that area. With appropriate accommodations, special ed students are very capable of completing these more rigorous assessments, but kids are also very perceptive of their teachers. If they can tell that you are overwhelmed by the increased demands, they are not going to have much confidence in their ability either.
