She was in a self contained specials needs class but was placed in an inclusion kindergarten class full time. This student is very good at following directions and procedures but the teacher feels that she is not keep up with what is expected even with differentiated instruction strategies. She is currently being pulled out for 1 segment a day in a self contained classroom. She continues to struggle in the classroom. What can be done to help this student. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would call a special education meeting with the team to discuss these observations. More support as well as other interventions could be suggested so that the child could continue in the inclusion setting. I would also analyze the self contained setting and compare it to that of the classroom. Look for differences that could be contributing to the child performing poorly. Also, review the IEP for strengths to see if you can capitalize on them in the classroom to encourage success.                 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 would do this too, there definitely needs to be a meeting with all of the key players to open the lines of communication Rated On: October 19, 2014 4:52 am Rated By: amemuW
