High quality programs, services, access, participation, and supports for all.

103
Q

Examples of Altering the instructional arrangement

A

• Let your student work in a group of three when most of her classmates work in groups of four or five.
• Have your student team up with a peer partner when most of his classmates are working individually.
• Add variety to small-group work: when most classmates are working in student- directed small groups, have the student and a few selected classmates work in a small group that you sit with and help support.

104
Q

Examples of Altering the physical or social environment

A

Get your student a larger (or smaller) desk, depending on her preference.

Let students with sound sensitivities work in a particular part of the classroom, such as a “quiet space” or study carrel.

Give easily distracted students the option of sitting at a desk closer to the board. You could even arrange for the student to complete certain tasks in another part of the school campus, such as the media center or outdoors.

105
Q

Examples Alter your methods and materials

A

Incorporate more visuals to present content in different ways, such as maps, pictures, drawings, objects, or videos.

Use graphic organizers to arrange key points in a way students can easily grasp.

Provide additional models or demonstrations for students who need extra support during the lesson.

Select concrete materials instead of symbolic representations, or illustrate symbolic representations with concrete examples.

Make the most of whatever technology is available to you-enhance your lesson with whiteboards, streaming videos, or remote clickers.

Check for understanding more frequently, using methods that require active responses from your students. For example, try asking questions about the lesson material and have your class vote on the answers.

Provide students with differentiated reading material based on their reading level and/or interests.

Make content easier to learn by giving your student enhanced texts in which key parts are highlighted, pictures or symbols are added, and/or text is enlarged.

106
Q

Example of Altering the process or task

A

• Have your student follow written, pictorial, or audio-recorded task steps instead of giving them oral instructions.
• Modify essay assignments-instead of writing an essay, your student could demonstrate understanding of the content by completing a chart, developing a text-to-speech presentation, or creating an outline.
• Reduce the number of items students are expected to complete. For example, your student can receive the same math worksheet as the rest of the class, but you can ask him to complete only the odd-numbered items.
Give your student the option of using the same materials as the rest of the class, but in a different way. On a math worksheet, she could locate and mark certain numerals instead of completing problems.
• Suggest note-taking helpmates such as guided notes or a slot-note note format, so students can more easily record and recall key information.
• Allow for more creative ways for students to show what they know. Artistic students might build a model, create a poster, or draw a map a in place of a written assignment.

107
Q

Alter the level of personal assistance

A

• Have the helper model the steps of a task before the student performs them on her own.
