Facilitating the Academic Achievement of Students with Disabilities in China and the United States:A Rubric for Adaptations and Accommodations

One of the many challenges facing teachers, administrators, and teacher educators throughout the world is ensuring that teachers provide specially designed instruction to all students, including students with disabilities , to enable these students to meet high academic standards. So the author sets up a rubric for meeting the instructional needs of students with disabilities. This rubric consists of five areas: (1) Setting or environment; (2) Selection/Identification of materials to be used in the lesson; (3) Presentation of materials or lesson; (4) Response mode of students; and (5) Assessment/Evaluation of student knowledge. The teachers should carry out adaptations, modifications and accommodation in the five areas, so that the students can meet the high academic achievement required.
