[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]504 accommodations are pretty basic. What accommodations are you referring to? [/quote]

HS teacher. Here is a smattering of accommodations from this year:

[b]1.5x on all assessments (I’m not exaggerating when I say 20% of my entire rosters have this)[/b]
Preferential seating near point of instruction (I have one period were 12 kids have this. There are not 12 seats front and center)
No penalty for late work, up to 1 month late
Teacher will contact parent when any assignment is not turned in
Student will be provided with answer keys to all classwork to check their work before submitting assignments
Student can take all assessments in an empty classroom nearby (too anxious to test around other people)
Student may have access to their phone during tests to listen to music
[b]Teacher will review student answers on an assessment and return it to them to finish any that are still left blank or incomplete[/b]
Teacher will verify that student has recorded homework assignment in a physical planner and will notify parents daily of the assignment (whyyyyy??? Isn’t that why I spend time putting things in schoology?)
Student will have access to mentor at any point in the day when feeling anxious (not sure how this is realistic since mentor teaches classes)

I teach mostly freshmen, so the middle school is sending tons of stuff in 504s that we weed through and try to make more reasonable. Once it’s in the document though, parents largely refuse to remove it.

These are great, when I get mine setup for my kid, I'll be sure to have our say "2.5x on all assessments."  And also, it would just be easier on the teacher if mine were to say, to "have the teacher fill in the answers to all the blank questions." That would save the teacher some time.

These are great ideas, thanks for sharing! :D [/quote]
