The most common IEP accommodation is extended time. What if we allowed additional time to any student? Or didn't time at all? If speed isn't what we're assessing, extended time doesn't change the standard.

I’m seeing a lot of teachers bash on admin right now. These are tough jobs, and real humans doing them, and we are all on the same side: kids!!! We all have an important role, teacher, staff, admin, consultant. Let’s respect and support one another, not tear each other down.☮️❤️
