How Does Mastery of Annual Goals Relate to Grading and Promotion?

kristina@partnerstx.org2017-06-30T15:48:04-05:00

TEC §28.0216 requires that school district grading policies: “(1) must require a classroom teacher to assign a grade that reflects the students’ relative mastery of an assignment; [and] (2) may not require a classroom teacher to assign a minimum grade for an assignment without regard to the student’s quality of work.” These rules apply to classroom assignments, examinations, and overall grades for each grading period. Because of this, teachers may not assign a grade based on effort, and schools cannot pass a student who has not mastered the curriculum. Since goals can be either academic or functional in nature, they either [...]

Si un estudiante recibe instrucción en el entorno del salón de recursos, ¿Las calificaciones se determinan con base en el progreso hacia sus metas del IEP o en el progreso hacia el dominio del plan de estudios?

kristina@partnerstx.org2017-06-30T15:55:02-05:00

Todos los estudiantes son estudiantes de educación general primero que nada. Para todos los estudiantes en el estado de Texas de los grados K-12, los estándares estatales son los TEKS. La colocación educativa de un estudiante no cambia los estándares del plan de estudios. Los estudiantes deben obtener calificaciones por las actividades a través de las cuales están accediendo a los estándares. La colocación en la que un estudiante recibe servicios no tiene relación con las calificaciones que recibe. El dominio relativo del TEKS, con o sin adaptaciones o modificaciones, es la base para calificar a un estudiante. [...]

"Congress recognized that the students were not failing -- the schools were failing the students. And all through the 1997 IDEA Amendments, Congress demands that schools begin to do what they have promised that they would do for the past 22 years when they first starting taking the IDEA dollars -- to offer students with disabilities a chance at learning what the schools routinely offer to students without disabilities."

kristina@partnerstx.org2017-06-30T15:50:35-05:00

Your child’s 504 plan has been set in motion. Is the school delivering what it promised? Use these tips from Understood.org to monitor the situation throughout the year. Know who’s providing your child’s services. The 504 plan should state not only what special services your child will receive but also the name of the person is responsible for it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQ9mYEXdOEw&w=500 If a student is receiving instruction in a resource setting, do you determine grades based on progress toward their IEP goals or on progress toward mastery of the curriculum? [rescue_spacing size=”15px”] All students are general education students first. For all students in the state of Texas grades K-12, the state standards are the TEKS. A student’s education setting does not change curriculum standards. Students should earn grades for activities in which they are accessing the standards. […]
