There is a special education teacher, regular education teacher, and a regular education para-professional in the classroom. The accommodations that are in place for the students are only being followed by the regular education teacher and the regular education para professional. The teacher has documented this and discussed the issue with administration. The administrators say they are going to follow up with the special education teacher but has not done so. The special education students are not receiving the assistance that they are required to present by law. What should the regular education do to ensure that all students in the classroom receive what they need in order to be successful? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Both the regular education and special education teacher are in charge of following the accommodations for all students within the class. One way to address the concern is to clearly define expectations for you and the special education teacher. One of the expectations that you should address is who mainly works with the special education students within the class. For specific activities, you might also want to address who works with which students just so a standard is set.                 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 like your solution, I think that it should be a set rule, or at least be consistent with each lesson. That way the students know what the expectations are in their classroom, in order for it to be an effective learning environment. Rated On: October 25, 2014 7:51 pm Rated By: VeHyge
