Review: Instructional Accommodations in an Online Platform
If students need direct support, please email Ms. Cravens. Vikki.cravens@fortbendisd.comExamples of ways teachers are providing virtual accommodations for Special Education students:
- · Working directly with an Inclusion or Co Teacher to provide support and accommodated assignments.
- · Conducting small group synchronous sessions for students who need reminders to stay on task, checks for understanding, or small group and oral administration
- · Over communication with parents at odd times of the day to give them extra explanation as they are supporting their children at home
- · Pushed out resources in an individualized folder for students to complete T3 grade repair
- · Recorded yourself reading an assignment aloud
- · Using SNAP and READ as a Text to Speech tool
- · Using whiteboard.fi to explain a concept visually
