What is expected of a teacher when a student's ESE code changes to hospital homebound (HH)?

• A. Stop all instruction for that student
• B. Continue normal teaching routine and have a hospital homebound teacher assigned to the student
• C. Provide all instruction remotely
• D. Coordinate all classwork with the family

Answer: (B)

When a student's ESE code changes to hospital homebound (HH), it is essential for a teacher to adapt their teaching approach to accommodate the student's new status while still ensuring educational continuity. Assigning a hospital homebound teacher allows the provision of specialized, individualized support that meets the student's unique needs during their time away from the traditional classroom environment.

This option recognizes the importance of continuing the learning process rather than halt it entirely. While a hospital homebound teacher may handle instruction, it's crucial that the regular classroom teacher remains involved in planning and coordinating the curriculum, ensuring that the student can transition back into the classroom smoothly when they are able.

Other choices do not sufficiently prioritize the continuity of learning or the required collaboration with specialized educators, which is key in situations where students cannot attend school physically due to health concerns.
