FIRST PRIORITY:  Whenever possible, special education students will be included in appropriate levels of regular education courses. If the IEP directs the teacher to modify the course for the student with disability, the teacher may add the small letter “m” beside and to the right of the student’s letter grade when reporting.  Modifications are individually determined for each student by the IEP Team.  Teachers may also make modifications for non-disabled students if needed.

Example:

   GRADE

 COLUMN

       C m

SECOND PRIORITY:  If the IEP indicates direct Special Education services, the student may be placed in elective Special Education courses. These courses do not have to fulfill a particular required academic credit but may be general in nature in order to meet the intent of the IEP.

THIRD PRIORITY:  If a student with a disability has attempted a required regular course and been unsuccessful, or is a CDC student receiving a required course credit, the IEP Team may consider providing the required credit through the Special Education program.  In such cases, the Special Education teacher adjusts the objectives of the course to comply with the student’s IEP and instructs the student accordingly. If the Special Education teacher is teacher of record for a required course, the teacher must meet NCLB Highly Qualified provisions for that content area.
