1. Audit your current supports
- Review the accommodations you’re already using in your classroom.
- Ask yourself: Am I over-supporting anywhere? Am I under-supporting anywhere?
- Identify at least one place you see “just-right” support promoting engagement.
2. Adopt the All–Some–One mindset
- List supports you provide for all students (universal).
- Identify the supports you provide for some students (small group).
- Clarify which are individualized—and confirm those are truly needed.
- Adjust where necessary to avoid over-relying on one-on-one accommodations.
3. Observe for engagement signals
- Pick 2–3 students and watch them during instruction, classwork, and assessments.
- Note whether they are engaged (leaning in, participating, persisting) or disengaged (waiting, avoiding, frustrated).
- Use engagement as your “litmus test” for whether accommodations are just right.
4. Reflect and adjust regularly
- At the end of each week, ask yourself: Which accommodations worked? Which need tweaking?
- Remember—just-right support is dynamic. It changes as students gain skills and confidence.
5. Leverage Accomods
- Use Accomods to save time by finding, understanding, and implementing the just-right accommodations for your learners.
- Let the tool guide you so your energy stays on teaching and supporting—not searching.
