Records and notes should be kept of assessments and achievements to contribute to the IEP reviews . Accommodations such as assigning multiple ways for students to demonstrate their mastery of a subject besides a paper based assessment can be in the form of an oral presentation, poster, rap, song, commercial, or news report depending on the subject. Procedural assignments is a technique I use with all students to insure a complete understanding and help them develop new skills. I often show the completed model and inform them they will learn how to complete the task in small steps. Then I model all steps involved in completing the task. Next I model the part of the task I want them to complete. I then allow
