  Case: Serving Students with Disabilities
A teacher has four classes, in which two classes are inclusion settings (contains students with disabilities, many are severe). There are students who need extended time to complete formative and summative assessments; however, there are only forty minutes allotted for each class period. There are also students who have to be pulled out for read-aloud assessments; however, there is one ESP resource teacher who can pull them out for testing. What can be done to ensure that these students test successfully, while still maintaining a comfortable testing environment for my regular education students?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The teacher should discuss these classroom observations with a lead special education teacher. Accommodations such as extended time are mandatory if the student needs them and are legal requirements. I would also make the administration aware of this possible crisis. Again, the IEP that these students have is a legal document.It would also be a good idea to review all the students' instructional and testing accommodations before meeting with administration.

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would exactly do this because it is very important that we are following our student's IEP and make sure students are getting the accomodations they need to succeed.

Comments: It is important to be sure these students are getting all of the proper accommodations according to their IEP. The lead special education teacher can be a very useful resource as they should know more about the legal requirements for these students.

Comments: I agree with this statement because as extended time are required for students that need them and that school team members need to be aware. IEP documents what the students should need and it is essential that the teachers review this because they can't always remember each student if there is many classes being taught or depending on how many students are in the class with an IEP form.

Comments: Knowing what each of the students require by law via their IEP is the responsibility of each teacher. Knowing who needs what aids in planning and asking for help when you know that students needs are not being met is a must.
