Of course, everything comes out perfect because I or the para or the Resource teacher have corrected the work as they went along. I don't feel that giving them a 100 is appropriate...but what is an appropriate grade. Our district does not have a policy on this, so I'm at a loss as to what to do. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Last year I had a student with special needs. His IEP stated that all assessments must be read to him and given in a small group. I always read each question multiple times and then prompted him with questions to aid in his thought process. Many times he would still not do well even with extensive assistance. I always wrote at the top of his papers that it was completed with ___________ (lots, some, or little) assistance. This showed his parents what he was capable of with a given amount of help. On his report card I noted that he was working below grade level so that any average would not be misleading to his parents or future teacher.                 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: I love the system that you use, that way if you happen to grade it later on, you know the actual effort put into the assignment by the student and can grade accordingly.
