In class support
- We want the students in
the classroom as much as possible. The CM assistants have scheduled
times each day that they work with the grade level. We have found that a
majority of the accommodations can be carried out in the classroom. This
includes checking for understanding, providing a re-teach or review of
information and working on modified assignments. We will change the
schedule as needed to accommodate tests and major assignments.

|
Small group or 1
on 1 learning –
Students that are below grade level will come to CM to close learning
gaps. They will not be pulled during instruction time, and they will
work with supplemental material. The goal is to close learning gaps at a
fast pace, while still keeping up with on grade level instruction.
|
|
Progress monitoring - We will
continually monitor the progress of all CM students. Besides progress
reports and 9 week grades, we will also track Benchmark scores, Reading
and Math levels and other information that is useful in tracking the
progress of the students.

Screen Reader and Word Bank Software
– We have a variety of technology and
software programs available to assist students in Reading and Writing. Wynn
is a computer program/scanner that is able to read aloud any document
that is scanned. It also has a word processor and other AMAZING
characteristics that we are excited to put into practice. We also use
Co-Writer and Clicker for writing
at various levels.
|
|
Audio books/other technology – We
have many software and technology programs that can accomodate the
students' successful learning.
|
|
Study aids –
We have a variety of games and manipulatives that help build a foundation
for various skills.
|
|
Tutoring –
If a student needs more
individualized tutoring, they can come before or after
school. Contact me for a schedule.
|
|
Business lunch/recess – If a student is falling behind, or not completing work, we can set up
a business lunch where the students eat in the CM room while catching up
on missing assignments.
|
|
Working lunch – Students can choose to have lunch in CM to work on a project or get
extra help or time on assignments.
|
|
Parent
Conferences – If you are having a parent/teacher conference and would like one of us
to be present to talk about the progress that we are seeing, again, let
us know.

TEACHERS:
We are here to support you in
what you are doing in the classroom. Please let us know of any projects,
tests, benchmarks and major assignments ahead of time so that we can
accommodate as needed. If you have any concerns or questions, please do
not hesitate. Our door is open and communication is welcomed and
encouraged. Any questions about the IEP or accommodations, just let us
know. Please feel free to stop by the room,
(we have chocolate!) or drop an
email. The only thing I ask is that we keep emails confidential,
please do not use student’s names and it can be as simple as “Let’s
talk.”
Thanks!
