  Case: Should I or Should I Not
I am special education teacher in a co-teaching setting. Many of the students are failing science because the students are not turninbg in the assignments. In addition, their performance on quizzes are poor. I feel that we are not adeequately meeting the needs of all the students. Many assignments are started in class and the students have to take them home to complete. The general education teacher and I have sat down and discussed this issue but now it is time to provide students with grades. Should I modify the grades or not?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The assignments should be modified to fit the needs of the students. Some of the assignments may be too lengthy. Assign some work that can be completed in class so students don't have to complete it at home. At the school I teach at many students have to watch their younger siblings when they get home from school. You should not modify the grades, only the assignments. Provide students some work they can complete in class and this will also boost their confidence.
