Modification

Below you will find ideas on how to modify instruction for struggling students. You will also find the modified grading scale.

Modifications versus Accomodations

Modifications change the learning outcome. "We use modifications to allow students with more serious achievement gaps or disabilities to experience the same curriculum as their peers but not necessarily meet the same learning goals as their peers" (Cooper). 

​

Accommodations maintain learning outcomes. "[W]e use accommodations to allow students with less serious disabilities to access the same curriculum and meet the same learning goals as their peers" (Cooper).

Respuesta a la Intervención (RTI)

Un estudiante con dificultades no siempre significa que necesita servicios de educación especial, pero a veces los necesita. La respuesta a la intervención es el primer paso para decidir qué necesita un estudiante con dificultades. Si un estudiante no responde positivamente a la intervención dos veces, ese estudiante es elegible para la prueba. Si las intervenciones fallan, contáctenos. Si tiene preguntas o está planeando intervenciones, comuníquese con el consejero de los estudiantes y no dude en preguntarnos.
