Teacher Mrs. Stella is a fourth grade teacher that has three ESE students included in her classroom with special accommodations. These ESE students test with Mrs. Stella when the ESE teacher is not available. She notices that her students are not performing as well on the tests with her. She offers her students extended time as part of their accommodation like their ESE teacher does. On the other hand, when the students get with their ESE teacher, these students score higher than usual on assessments.What is a solution to help Mrs. Stella get her students to perform as well as they do when they are with their ESE teacher? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) In order to determine the difference between Mrs. Stella's testing situation versus the ESE teacher's testing a conversation needs to occur. If the same accommodations are being met in Mrs. Stella's room just as they are in the ESE classroom there is a definite divide because the students are not performing as they normally do. Mrs. Stella should talk with the ESE teacher and determine exactly what type of environment she establishes with the students. How does she incorporate the accommodations? Are the students more comfortable in another environment? A conversation with the students may also need to be conducted. Mrs. Stella could possibly find out that the ESE teacher is providing more assistance on the assessments than he/she should.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: If I was in this situation I would try this solution.

There needs to be lesson plans drawn up and administration involved. Rated On: October 19, 2014 4:35 pm Rated By: amemuW
