Are you wondering how to effectively choose and use accommodations for students with disabilities?
In this workshop, you will use information from the Region 13 Accommodation Central website, LiveBinder, and TEA STAAR resources to determine appropriate accommodations for instruction and assessment.
You will learn to implement a five-step accommodation process that includes selection, administration, and evaluation of accommodations in the classroom.
This workshop will look at accommodations that could be suitable for students from kindergarten through 12th grade. The accommodation process is applicable to any subject area and meaningful to general education teachers as well as special education teachers.
This workshop will include an overview of the STAAR Accommodations manual as presented by TEA.
The day will begin with a review of disability categories and activities to address them. We will then move on to a discussion of accommodations, modifications, and alternate achievement standards.
Attendees will leave with a collection of strategies to help differentiate for learners of all ability levels.
Note: this workshop will focus on the needs of students with disabilities in grades K-6.
