- What modifications for learners who are exceptional do you see?
From what I have seen, most of the modifications for the students that do exceptionally well in the class are not major. For example, the students that are doing well are able to move forward with new spelling words on a more regular basis. If they finish reading their book during reading time they are able to go check a new one out from the classroom library. If the student gets 100% on an assignment sometimes local restaurants will have the teacher give them a coupon for a free kids meal or some sort of treat.
There may be other ways the exceptional student is treated or taught but like I said, from what I have seen they keep it pretty low key. I feel this is a smart way to go because if they treated them that much more different they might make other students feel discouraged or jealous. Because I am only in a second grade class this may be another reason why I don't see huge differences. But, I do remember when I was in middle school they would reward an exceptional student on the schools TV channel and give them a prize.
