(Pick 2!)

• Students may feel more comfortable sharing ideas when there is only one listener.

• Both students are held more accountable for participating in the task.

• Fewer students will have the burden of working with a special education student.

• Reduced group size means more grading for you, and who doesn't love grading?

The primary distinction between a BT and a TA is...

• BTs work only 1:1 and TAs work only in small groups.

Developing parallel assignments with different levels of scaffolding...

• Is a best practice to support all students in reaching grade-level standards

• Provides an unfair advantage to students getting extra support

• Is the responsibility of the special education teacher, not the classroom teacher

• Is not recommended because students may feel shamed by getting support with their work

Collaborating with special educators to design classroom activities and assignments that are accessible for all learners is...

• Not recommended because special educators are too busy to meet with you

• Not recommended because it is the special educator's job to make sure assignments are accessible

• Highly recommended and will allow both of you to share your expertise and grow your skill sets

• Forbidden because it violates union contracts
