We must stop labeling misbehaved students due to dissabilties. Address with proper understanding about rootcause and scaffolding to start a task.
Schools should move toward consistent and transparent classroom expectations. Collabotive plannig of Special and general eachers.

After lab sessions we hold class circles to discuss on what worked.
I always encourage them to ask questions, raise hands if they need any support , I always try to appriciate and encourage them do better.
Before starting a new unit I help them to access our acticatve learning.

Challenges :high level of scientific thinking demanded by Openscied Chemistry. students have to do many investigations.so I need to I need to consider about their safety and differentiated materials.
Oppertunities: Using real world phenomena as the base for each unit.

Activities : In group projects I combine SWD students with students who care mostly and help them. And also I use summeries which help to navigate them.
Homework: I provide them to make choices to submit their work asa video, models, or a diagram.
Commun-Home: classdojo or email

Accomodation : To support ADHD,I provide graphic organizers for discussions and digital modeling tools and simulations instead of extensive writing.
Modification : I modify expected output of a model instead of written explanations. Example : labeled stroy board, verbal summary.

I use multiple means of explanations within the OpenScied curriculum by providing tiered and differentiate explanations with the aid of visuals and audios for initial models and other more complex chemistry concepts.
I differentiate instruction through hands on experiences.
