Case: EBD and Grades
I have a new student that is considered to have an emotional behavior disorder. His parents have been difficult to work with when getting this child the services he needs and often times turn them down. He is on grade level, however, he is falling farther and farther behind because of his behavior. He has a dedicated para in both his general and special education classes (sped class to work on social skills) and the dedicated para has to remove him from the room daily because he is throwing a "fit." Because of these daily "fits" and being removed from class, he is missing a lot of the assignments and very rarely makes them up when we send them home. The grading period is quickly coming to a close and we're at a loss for how to report his grades. He is on an IEP, however, it's for behaviors only, no academics. Do we report his grades the way they are which will result in a failing grade or give him 70's because he is on an IEP?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This can be a very difficult situation. However, it is important that you reflect his true grade especially if you are trying to get more help and support for the student. It sounds like he was doing very well academically. However, his behaviors are starting to impact him academically. This is good documentation to help provide this student with more support. The first thing I would do is speak with the special education teacher since he has an IEP. She/he needs to implement a behavior plan for the student in the general education classroom and during the class times he receives support from the special education teacher. It will be imperative to document the times the student is in small group versus the whole group setting and the behaviors exhibited during this time. Once the documentation from this has been completed for several weeks. Then you can look at further courses of action. Good Luck! |

Comments: I agree with this post. The teacher should post the students true grade if further assistance is needed for the student. Certain accommodations might be available to the student. |
