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!) Assignments need to be modified to meet the needs of the students. If the assignments have too many questions and students cannot answer them in class and the SWDs are the only ones not completing them then they need to be shortened for them. The first step would be parent contact to let adults know that students have had homework and not turned it in. One idea would be to use a service called remind.com - it allows the teacher to send messages to parents through mass media services. The next step would be to look for time to keep these students after school to help them complete the assignments if time isn't the only factor. The first option should never be to change the grade.
