The Most Important Thing to Understand First

ACCOMMODATION

Changes HOW a student learns or shows their learning. Does NOT change what is being learned or the standard expected.

GRADE RULE:

Grade the same as every other student. Same rubric. Same standard. Accommodations do NOT change the grade.

MODIFICATION

Changes WHAT a student learns. Alters the content, level, or performance standard. Must be written in the IEP by the IEP team.

GRADE RULE:

Grade based on the modified standard — not grade level. Contact the SPED teacher if unsure how to apply it.

📊 Complete Grading Chart — Your Situations

Situation	Grade How?	What to Document	Legal Basis

🔄 IEP Language Translator — What It Means in Your Classroom

IEP or 504 Says	What It Means in Your Class	Changes the Grade?
Extended time 1.5x	If test takes 40 min → give student 60 min. If class period ends have student finish during lunch or next available time.	NO — grade unchanged
Read aloud	Read test questions and directions aloud to student. Can also use text-to-speech software. Does NOT apply to reading comprehension tests measuring reading ability.	NO — grade unchanged
Preferential seating	Seat near teacher, at front of room, away from door and windows. Student selects seat that works best for them from options you provide.	NO — grade unchanged
Calculator permitted	Student may use a calculator on ALL math tasks — not just tests. Applies even if other students cannot use one. This is their legal right.	NO — grade unchanged
Reduced distractions	Seat away from high traffic areas, windows, and doors. For testing: student may test in hallway, library, or another quiet space.	NO — grade unchanged
Graphic organizer	Provide a fill-in template or partially completed organizer. Student does not start from blank page. Same content — different access.	NO — grade unchanged

Below grade level materials	Student receives reading passages or math problems below grade level. THIS IS A MODIFICATION. Must be in the IEP. Grade on the student's level — not grade level.	YES — grade based on modified level
