COURSE EVALUATION PROCEDURE All planned courses will be monitored by the department chair and building administrators and revised according to the District s revision cycle. ACCOMMODATIONS The needs of students in the learning support and gifted programs are met through a variety of adaptations, modifications or enrichments to the planned course. If a student has an IEP or a GIEP (Gifted individual Education Plan), specific strategies and accommodations for that student will be identified in his or her individualized educational plan under the section called specially designed instruction. The learning support and gifted teachers are available to provide classroom teachers with any kind of assistance in providing accommodations.
