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!) I am a supporter of Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Many general education teachers and special education teachers collaboratively plan and embed the strategies and accommodations for low and diverse learners. Both teachers should be collected data on the students instead of keeping score of who is not doing X,Y,Z. The special education teacher shares the responsibility with the general education teacher. When one fails to take action, both have failed the student.
