  14. Course recommendations • Students with an IEP, especially those with specific mathematical disabilities, should be enrolled in the year-long Coordinate Algebra unless other evidence STRONGLY indicates that support is unnecessary. • For all students, it is important to err by recommending the year-long course and then having to subsequently change the student’s schedule to the one-term class if that change is needed.
