Special Education<br />

Because all children deserve a high quality education, there are no separate<br />

or different standards for children with special needs. However, students<br />

with disabilities should be provided a range of supports.<br />

Children with special needs should receive remediation, ac<strong>com</strong>modations,<br />

modifications, assistive technology, and other supports for classroom<br />

learning and any tests, all of which can be specified in an IEP<br />

(Individualized Educational Plan) or 504 Plan.<br />

Some questions to ask include:<br />

• What learning goal does each standard address?<br />

• What does my child need to have in place to achieve<br />

the standards being taught?<br />

• What strategies, teaching, technology, or other services will be<br />

provided to make sure my child has an equal opportunity to reach<br />

the same high level of learning?<br />

• How will any changes related to the <strong>Standards</strong> affect my<br />

child’s IEP?<br />

• Are there other tests, options, or services available adapted<br />

to meet my child’s needs?<br />

• Who should I go to for help?<br />

Knowing what your child is supposed to be learning in each grade can<br />

make it easier for you to ask questions about meeting academic goals and<br />

what kind of extra help your child might need.<br />

The plan may have both learning and nonacademic goals, such as<br />

behavioral goals or goals related to how your child expresses his/her<br />

feelings. Only the learning goals need to be based on the grade-level<br />

standards.<br />
