Each experience brought with it unique challenges and valuable experience. Several weeks ago, I was approached by the EC Director for our school system to create a document that tracks use of classroom modifications and accommodations for students with an IEP. In the past, our school system has not required documentation of how and when these were used but a recent incident at one of our schools brought to light this immediate need. After creating a document, I presented our new policy and procedure for documenting classroom mods accommodations at each grade level Professional Learning Community (PLC) meeting. I was met with some resistance at one PLC with several complaints about the tedious nature of the new policy as well as disgruntling over not wanting to use what little paper we are given for something one teacher felt was not related to instruction.
