Rubric for Accommodations Manual for SPED 3613
Your Accommodations Manual grew out of the concern of faculty in Blocks II and III. The professors of those blocks stated that when candidates created their lesson plans in those blocks, they appeared to have forgotten everything they were taught in Block I about making accommodations for students with disabilities. Therefore, the Accommodations Manual is designed to travel with you to Blocks II and III, and eventually on to your student teaching.
In order to make a grade of A, you must meet EVERY criterion in the A category. One criterion in the B category in a notebook that otherwise meets the A category will result in a grade of B; one in the F category will bring a grade of A to a C.
The disabilities that should be included are: IDD, the FIVE LDs (Dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, dysphasia, dyspraxia), OI, OHI-ADD, EBD, Autism, Communication Disorders, VI, and AI.
Grade of A

Please note that some students think that they can wait until the night before the assignment is due and complete it satisfactorily. This is never a successful ploy. Printers break down. Color cartridges run out of ink. Hard drives crash, and thumb drives freeze. I will not accept any excuses for late papers.
I will, however, accept assignments on the class before they are due.
The College of Education takes attendance seriously because teachers must be dependable. A bonus of 25 points will be awarded to students who are present and on time for EVERY class session; 25 points will be deducted for the first absence, 50 for the second and subsequent absences. The third absence will trigger a Fitness Alert; this Fitness Alert will require the student to meet with a faculty committee who will determine the student’s fitness for the teaching profession.
Tardiness is also taken seriously, as is leaving class early. Two tardies will be treated as an absence. For each tardy, the student will be expected to write a two-sentence Action Plan stating why the student was absent and what procedures the student has enacted to prevent a second tardy. The purpose of the Action Plan is to help the student learn how to prevent future tardiness.
1. Written work – Should be completed in a professional style. Correct spelling and grammar are critical writing skills that teachers must employ. 2. Be prepared - Read assignments and complete assigned work before coming to class. 3. Adhering to professional ethics – When using professional sources in your writing, cite sources you have used or ideas you have adapted when completing assignments. Use of copyrighted materials must adhere to legal and ethical guidelines. If part of an assignment is submitted for credit in more than one course, both professors must pre-approve this dual credit and the dual use should be referenced clearly on both assignments. 4. Speech Screening: If you have not been screened and released by WCOE's Language Specialist, you will not be allowed to student teach. If you have not previously been screened, please contact Tricia McBride, 397-4762, to set up an appointment. Screening is not conducted during the summer months. 5. Americans with Disabilities Act: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal anti-discrimination statute that provides comprehensive civil rights protection for persons with disabilities. Students with a disability must be registered with Disability Support Services before classroom accommodations can be provided. If you have a documented disability that will impact your work in this class, please contact me to discuss your needs. 6. Plagiarism Statement: "By enrolling in this course, the student expressly grants MSU a 'limited right' in all intellectual property created by the student for the purpose of this course. The 'limited right' shall include but shall not be limited to the right to reproduce the student's work product in order to verify originality, authenticity, and educational purposes." from Student Handbook. Plagiarized work will earn an F, trigger a Fitness Alert, and may result in the student being dropped from the course.
