169.All Things Accommodations, Modifications and Collaboration
Episode description
Have you ever noticed there sometimes seem to be a gap between the special education teacher and general education teacher when it comes to accommodations and modifications? In order to best serve our students with disabilities we must bridge that gap. But how?
In this week’s episode I am chatting with Tim Kretchman from Action Driven Education about all things accommodations, modifications and collaboration. He is sharing what 23 years in multiple positions in education has taught him about making it work in the classroom so your students reach success.
In this episode you will learn:
-
The difference between accommodations and modifications and how to explain it to a general education teacher
-
What Goldilocks and the 3 Bears has to do with being a special ed teacher
-
How to truly treat your students as individuals when considering accommodations and modifications
-
About the benefits of engaging the child when choosing accommodations and modifications as they grow older
