Progress reports are due and students find out just how well they are doing and not doing. How well the school is providing the service that was outlined in the IEP’s, 504 plans. Do our Teachers get it when it comes to special education or IEP’s, 504 plans? What must we do to help the students become more successful, building confidence, self esteem and motivation? Success That is all we are asking.
If the student is not doing well, call for a meeting.
1. Don’t delay!
2. Ask that the teacher to be present at the meeting.
3. Ask what is needed, and what help should be giving to that student.
4. Communicate with the student on what he/she would like to see happen. If they don’t know lets give cues!
Search what works for him/her.
1. Don’t assume anything when it comes to our students on an IEP’s, 504′ plans
2. Don’t assume that they are not doing their work, or they don’t want to do it. Find out why?
There is a reason behind it all. Ask them, do they understand what is being asked of them. Identify the problems, work as a team to help the student problem solve.
TEAM is the Key word and we need to work together. Amend the IEP’s as needed, it is a working document and can be changed at any time. Not eatched in stone, Fluent ongoing document.
