From what I have seen, the students in
Mrs. Gibson's class get along extremely well and all seem to have similar
academic abilities; however, there was one student that I noticed on a previous
visit that stood out to me. This particular student was disruptive, had a
difficult time working with others, and often complained about the assignments;
he portrayed some signs of a gifted and talented student. When I went to the
classroom yesterday I noticed that he was not there so I asked the teacher if
he was still in her class. She told me he had been sick all week and she
proceeded to tell me that he is in the process of being tested for an
accelerated academic school. I bring this up in my post because I did not see
any modifications for him in the classroom. I know that I am an outsider
looking in and I don't know what teachers have or have not have tried in the
past. I also don't know if modifications or an IEP has been established for him. All I know is
that I am slightly surprised that I have not see any modifications for him. I
do know that his parents have recently been updated on his disruptive classroom
behavior and according to Mrs. Gibson their involvement has tremendously helped
his behavior in class. I don't have enough details to pass judgment on the
situation I am just surprised that I haven't seen any assignment modifications
or differentiated instruction for this student.
