While three hours of instruction/week is a reasonable rule of thumb for ensuring that most students can continue to make appropriate progress in their core classes, the amount of services provided to students with IEPs or a 504 Plan should be determined on an individualized basis and may necessitate the provision of related services in addition to instruction in the core curriculum.
