We use adaptations every day.

Adaptation includes a student who is…
working on provincial learning outcomes (PLOs) from a lower grade level working on some, most or all of the PLOs

Adaptations are… teaching and assessment strategies
used to accommodate student learning needs designed to achieve the learning outcomes for a course or subject

Lower grade reporting - adaptations in the IEPs - indicate adaptations in the students progress report
17
Modification includes a child who is…
unable to access the curriculum
18
Students may have… limited awareness of their surroundings fragile mental / physical health medically/cognitively/multiply challenged
19
Considering Modifying
it is a rare practice for students not identified as ‘special needs’ need only form part of an educational program need not be a permanent or long term solution
20
Deciding to Modify must be made in consultation with parents, school administration, and instructional personnel never by a single teacher a formal decision need not be made until grade 10
21
Grading and Reporting for
Modification
22
form should be decided at the school level
letter grades may be given in relation to the IEP goals, not the curricular outcomes specific IEP outcomes should be included on the progress report
