Discuss assignment, homework, and test adaptations that help students with learning problems to succeed in the classroom. Discuss your point of view on making adaptations for students with special learning needs who are in the regular classroom. Should these students receive special treatment? Why or why not?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers must include a description of possible adaptations that teachers can use for homework, assignments, and tests. The best responses will explain teaching test-prep skills to students, creating rubrics and scoring guides, and using teacher-made tests, alternative assessments, and student assessment portfolios. Students should present and defend their position on making adaptations for students with special learning needs.
