As a reminder, classroom teachers are responsible for consistently implementing IEP and 504 accommodations and modifications. CCR teachers and Mrs. Romero can help classroom teachers understand how accommodations and modifications are delivered, but it is the legal responsibility of the classroom teacher to provide, as specified on an IEP, and 504 items such as modified in class assignments, modified homework, and differentiated instruction in the general education classroom. Please be sure that this is happening in your classroom. If you have questions or need clarification please see me.
