(PARC vs. Pennsylvania, 1972)
Accommodations vs. Modifications
Accommodations change HOW students learn
  • Glasses
  • Extra time
  • Use of manipulatives
  • Books on tape

Modifications change WHAT students learn
  • Modify reading material based on student’s reading level
  • Allow outlining, instead of writing for an essay or major project
  • Use of alternative books or materials on the topic being studied
  • Computerized spell-check support
  • Word bank of choices for answers to test questions
  • Provision of calculator and/or number line for math tests
  • Film or video supplements in place of reading text
  • Reworded questions in simpler language
  • Projects instead of written reports
  • Highlighting important words or phrases in reading assignments
  • Modified workload or length of assignments/tests
  • Modified time demands
  • Pass/no pass option
  • Modified grades based on IEP
(Kessler, Eve)

These terms are NOT interchangeable; while accommodations may be provided to any student, modifications may not. Modifications that are not called for in a student’s IEP may not be provided to that student without violating that document

(Artiles, Kozleski, Doran, Christensen, 2006)
  • Students who are gifted & talented
  • Students who are culturally and linguistically diverse (including ELL)
  • Students who are at risk for school failure

    “Pull-out programs discourage effective partnerships between general education and special education teachers in implementing IEPS, and students are stigmatized when they are segregated from other students.” (Slavin, Educational Psychology; page 328).

An integrated, comprehensive framework that focuses on CCSS, core instruction, differentiated learning, student-centered learning, individualized student needs, and the alignment of systems necessary for all students’ academic, behavioral, and social success.

MTSS has a broader scope than RTI2
  • Focuses on aligning entire systems
  • Paradigm shift for support and setting higher expectations
  • Endorse UDL instructional strategies
  • Challenges school staff to change the way they have traditionally worked across all school settings
  • Focuses on ALL students in education contexts

A scientifically valid framework for guiding educational practice that provides flexibility in the ways information is presented, in the ways students respond or demonstrate knowledge and skills, and in the ways students are engaged. It also reduces barriers in instruction, provides appropriate accommodations, supports, and challenges, and maintains high achievement expectations for all students, including students who are limited English proficient.

  • Tier 1: all students receive high quality standards-based instruction and are monitored for academic and behavioral growth.
  • Tier 2: students not making adequate progress per Tier 1 Data  receive more intensive interventions and instruction.
  • Tier 3: more intensive intervention for Tier 2 non-responders
Key Elements
  • Goals: proactively catch struggling students before they fail, close the achievement gap, and reduce problem behaviors.
  • Interventions: research-based to provide reliable data for decision-making, including special education eligibility determinations.
  • Result: keep students who are just educationally underserved OUT of special education.

I have a nephew who has an IEP for a Specific Learning Disability. I was his teacher last year, which was challenging because I wanted so badly to “fix” his disability so that he could be successful. I now realize that he doesn’t need to be “fixed.” He is a highly intelligent, creative, social, and kind young man who needs some modifications. The two TED talks (by Stephen Tonti and Scott Sonnon) were very insightful. They helped me to develop empathy in that I was able to see through their eyes; something I failed to do for my nephew last year. I have realized that there are far more complexities to teaching. I will strive to be more cognizant of the strategies focused on in UDL and MTSS as I further my professional growth in this field.]]> 2019-11-30 00:13:42 UTC https://padlet.com/lmcintyre7/5gy18z2kmkzm/wish/417867156
