§ Differentiation- Tailoring instruction to meet individual needs of all students (not just fragile populations). § Accommodation- A tool to help the student (SPED, 504, ELL) access all TEKS in the general education curriculum. § Modification- A change to the TEKS being taught to a student. Can only be made by a special education teacher.

§ Refer to the Accommodations in the Classroom chart discuss some of the most common accommodations and how those can look in a classroom.

§ Finding what students require what accommodations can be a struggle when flipping through a binder or stack of paperwork to look at each student. One method to simplify this is below:

§ Input forms are changing… § CM § Failure Forms § Case Managers- Contact § ICS § Different Forms: § Google/Microsoft Forms § Skyward § Writing on work samples § Binders

§ https: //www. youtube. com/watch? v=3 y. Ip 6 ez 6 i. Ws § Talk with your table group about the following: 1. What did you realize from this short experience? 2. What are some possible accommodations that can be made for this particular scenario? Be prepared to share out what you have discussed.

§ Group 1 will find three quotes that they think are most important § Group 2 will write a summary of the article § Group 3 will come up with three action items for their classrooms based on article § Group 4 will underline and define three words that people may struggle with § Group 5 will do hash tag summaries for each section

§ There are several ways to do this! Some ways are listed below: 1. Create a handwritten binder with each student separated by class period and keep all CM passes, dates of accommodations given, and work samples in that binder. Write a section in your lesson plans and use initials to demonstrate what accommodations were provided that day. EX: Copy of notes today for AT, EL, and JR. 2. 3. Right shorthand on their work and make copies of samples. So, if I gave extra time to Jerry today, I wrote ET and circled it on the top of his page and made a copy to keep with the date.
