My son’s classes allow it until the end of the grading period- quarter or trimester. Some teachers have allowed retaking tests but to do so must have all work turned in and show corrections or some other form of studying before retake- these were for MS and HS
I wouldn’t write that in an IEP since many students and uninvolved parents may wait until the last minute to do anything. In my opinion, the work you assign is to help strengthen content knowledge as they go and if they just complete it right away there could potentially be larger gaps in learning. I always look at it on an individual basis and make the determination from there for end of quarter work to be accepted. Also, is there a policy written in your school’s student handbook that should be taken into consideration?
As a high school teacher we also have to consider we are preparing them for their future career. How many work places will let them do work whenever?
I would caution adding that to an IEP. I can not think of one reason this should be an accommodation. If a student has a situation in which you would need to give them this time hopefully you could ask admin to provide this.
In my district we have a district- wide policy of this, so IEP accommodations state 1.5 times extra time but not beyond district policy.
