Examples of how it looks on an IEP:
Explanation of disability and how it affects progress in general curriculum -
“Jim’s difficulties in attention make it hard for him to concentrate in a large group setting. He often forgets to record assignments in his assignment notebook. He has difficulty memorizing basic information, such as math facts.” “Trevor’s deficits in the area of auditory processing detract from his ability to comprehend orally presented material and impede his participation in class and in small group discussions.” Program modifications/accommodations needed in general education -
“Jim will be allowed to use a calculator in math problem solving activities in science and social studies. Teachers will check assignment notebook daily for accuracy.” “Trevor may utilize tape recorder and/or get duplicate notes for lectures; have extra time to prepare for oral presentations; and be provided models, demonstrations, and examples.” “I’ve come to the frightening conclusion that I am THE DECISIVE ELEMENT in the classroom. My personal approach creates the climate. My daily mood makes the weather. As a teacher, I POSSESS A TREMENDOUS POWER to make a child’s life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, IT IS MY RESPONSE that decides whether a crisis will be escalated Or deescalated and a child humanized or dehumanized.
