Timing and Scheduling Accommodations
Descriptions:
The educator identifies one timing and scheduling accommodation for a student with a disability based on his or her individual learning strengths and needs and the barrier created by the disability.
Introduction
The educator uses a set of guiding questions to identify one timing and scheduling accommodation for a student with a disability based on his or her individual learning strengths and needs and the barrier created by the disability. The educator then implements the accommodation and evaluates its effectiveness.
Key Method Components
This micro-credential, one of four in the Accommodations stack, addresses timing and scheduling accommodations. These micro-credentials are consistent with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) requirements, and are therefore relevant to students in grades K-12 with disabilities.
Educators should understand that students with disabilities often encounter barriers when they access the general education curriculum. The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) require that educators provide appropriate accommodations to students with disabilities to address these barriers. Careful consideration of a student’s strengths and needs can help guide the identification and selection of an accommodation that is likely to benefit a student.

Embedding Habits, Skills, and Disposition in PAs
Competency Info
The Advanced Performance Assessment for Learning
Design stack is designed so that, if all three credentials are taken together, they will become more than the sum of their parts. Each micro-credential is intended to be able to stand on its own; however, the ideas and activities of each of these credentials support and expand on the others, allowing a fuller appreciation of performance assessment and its implications. Even more value will be gained by engaging in all three Performance Assessment for Learning stacks together.
Habits, Skills, and Dispositions:
Habits, Skills, and Dispositions are those qualities that—in addition to academic knowledge - are necessary for success in college, career, and civic life. Examples include collaboration, creativity, communication, and self-direction, among others. Increasingly, these habits, skills, and dispositions are seen as essential for the success of students in college, career, and civic life (for more, see the infographic in the resources). They are referred to in the field by a number of names, including essential skills and dispositions, work-study habits, non-cognitive skills, etc.
Performance assessments that measure habits, skills, and dispositions provide students with feedback on how well developed these essential skills are and how they might improve performance.

Support Student Learning in a Digital Learning Environment
Educator provides evidence
of their understanding of communication and outlines and provides evidence of a lesson that uses technology to support students’ use of communication in learning.
Method Components
What are the 4Cs?
The 4Cs for 21st century learning are Creativity, Critical Thinking, Communication, and Collaboration. They are part of the framework for 21st Century Learning and are designed to support student learning in today’s world and are skills they can use in college and career.
What is communication (and what isn’t it)?
The P21 framework emphasizes effective use of oral, written, and nonverbal communication skills for multiple purposes (e.g., to inform, instruct, motivate, persuade, and share ideas). It also focuses on effective listening, using technology to communicate, and being able to evaluate the effectiveness of communication efforts—all within diverse contexts (adapted from P21). Note that working in partners is a great way to collaborate or build shared understanding but a critical part of communication is sharing with an authentic audience.
Example strategies that use technology to support communication in the classroom:
Host a TED-style conference or showcases for your students to present original ideas on a topic of interest to them to an authentic, external audience. Record and post the videos to a youtube stream.
Provide opportunities to listen and ask questions through back channel tools like Today’s Meet or even Twitter.
Have your students publish their work through blogs, by creating websites, and by building other online resources that are shared with authentic audiences.
