Accommodations for Students in the Classroom

When it comes to accommodations for specific students in the classroom, i have seen some modifications for students but it is still too early to tell. On the first day of practicum, my partner and I mostly saw math centers and led a math problem based center. When I first got to my practicum teacher's class, the teacher went over the schedule for the day and also told us about the students who needed Special Education services and accommodations. For example, while I was teaching students how to solve a math problem during a center, my teacher told me that one of the students needed a lot of repetition and help through scaffolding. So for this student i worked mainly one on one and broke down the math problem into smaller sections for the student to understand better. That was the only time that I saw a student who needed accommodations, the other students either blended in or worked more with the teacher and made it hard to tell if they needed accommodations and an IEP as well. As I continue to work in the 5th grade classroom every Wednesday then I will be able to have a grasp on the students who require an IEP and Special Education Services. I need to get to know the students better before finding out their strengths and weaknesses in the class.
