ParticipantI like the idea of having them complete multiple items on the choice board. As simple as it sounds, wasn’t something that I thought of prior to viewing yours. Are there certain activities you want them to choose from? I agree with your directions of separate directions for students with IEPs, 504s and ILPs to receive separate directions, and possibly a different rubric. I think if I did a choice board where they had to pick more than one option, I would try a pick one from each option, or if you pick this one it would lead to a different options.
ParticipantMy choice board is for an advocacy project that we do in health. This choice board is going to give students several options at real life applications to advocate for a cause they are passionate about. I would say that more high ability students will be able to complete the choice board, but could be applied for all students.

ParticipantI agree with you that with online learning, are some the accommodations even needed. With students not being placed in time constraints of a class period, would they even need extra time. I think most assignments given with deadlines are based on time allowed in class, without that barrier that could be one that students don’t need. I feel that accommodations would be based on which type of online instruction is being given.
ParticipantI agree with having a one on one meeting with students and caregivers early could help alleviate some of the possible issues and allow you to meet the needs they want.
ParticipantWhat is, or what do you think will be your biggest challenge when it comes to supporting ELL, IEP, and 504 learners in your online classroom
I think the biggest challenge will be the time it takes to make sure I am meeting all of their individual needs. I also think checking for understanding on a frequent base is something that I will struggle with. Also, if those students have questions and if we are asynchronous, the ability to answer the questions when the students need them.
ParticipantMy school doesn’t have a school wide plan to take late work and it is left up to individuals or teams. Each person does things a little differently. I have gotten to the point where I take late work, even though I don’t necessarily like to, but would rather them turn something in than nothing. This could also be the rotation we use, we are only in classroom every other day. I find it hard to build a rhythm in there.
ParticipantOne of the strategies that I try and use with some of my ESL students is allowing them to verbally answer questions. One of our special education teachers suggested this to me and it seems to help. Some of our ELL students are able to understand and explain, but aren’t able to write as well yet and become discouraged.
ParticipantWhat trends are you seeing with your students?
I agree with an earlier post that it seems like we are seeing more IEP and 504s in the class room. It also seems like a lot of students want answers and material given to them. I think this is an ongoing struggle that most teachers are seeing in the classroom.What recurring successes or struggles do you see?
I think a success that I see with students is that for the most part they want to succeed. The drive to be successful is there, it is just the lack of being creative and the drive to do the work that they seem to lack.ParticipantThe board game idea sounds fun. Here is a link to help create online board games. https://freetech4teach.teachermade.com/2020/07/how-to-create-your-own-online-board-game/
ParticipantThey could try https://www.canva.com/create/comic-strips/ to help make the comic strips.
ParticipantHelp make this activity virtual.
I do an activity that create or modify a game and then we play/try it as a class, then we critique and make adjustments. I have had them do the first part virtually, but not sure how they would be able to play it and then make edits virtually.
ParticipantTell us about a favorite way you like to use classroom meetings or huddle time. It can be anything—a way to build rapport with your students, say words of affirmation, practice conflict resolution, etc. Don’t forget to include what grade level(s) and subject area(s) the activity is appropriate for.
During discussions, I like to have students have debates about topics. The questions will vary depending on our topic that we are learning about. Students can do these in small groups or individually. During projects, I like to “check in” with students and this can be anything form how they are doing on the project or just in general.
ParticipantI like the strategy of creating assignments for students to share about themselves. I do a project at the beginning of the year where students have to share. I make them use real pictures of themselves from when they are younger. Usually there is at least another student in the picture which helps them expand more on the photo. It is a great snap shot into their world.
ParticipantI agree with you, it can be as simple as noticing a shirt they are wearing. I also am into sports, so it is easier to form relationships with my students who are involved in sports. I try and make more of a cognizant effort at the end of class to talk to students who I may not have as many similarities with.
ParticipantOne of my favorite ways to build relationships with students is just to talk to them. Ask them about their day, weekend, sporting event. Try and get to know them outside of the classroom and what their interest in. Maybe comment on a shirt or jersey they are wearing. This shows them that you are genuinely interested in them as a person. Like the old adage “students don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care”, is more important today than ever.
