(I make the accomodations I think they need, but it would be nice if the things the child needs for success were indicated in the IEP)I was told by their case carrier that he had created addendums for all of the IEPs with this problem and would show them to me. I have been waiting months to see them. Last week, I had my fill of waiting and had the chair of the Special Ed. Department print copies of each IEP At A Glance for me. You guessed it!There have been no addendums attached.care020https://www.blogger.com/profile/13111261210638297196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-70738479999616476242009-03-08T14:41:00.000-04:002009-03-08T14:41:00.000-04:00IEPs by e-mail are kosher.

I'm a sped person, and I do my best to focus on classroom accommodations that hopefully will work for students. I try to write general goals (don't have to do objectives if the student is not taking an alternative assessment) that can be ratcheted up as the student shows growth.<BR/><BR/>Sigh. I get too many IEPs from other people though who write goals that lack the basics:Condition, Behavior, Criteria.<BR/><BR/>You know--stuff like When given a multi-step math problem to solve, Karen will correctly identify what operations need to be performed, correctly identify the order of operations to be performed, then correctly solve the problem in four of five opportunities.<BR/><BR/>Why is writing stuff like that so hard? If I see another goal written in terms like "Karen will improve her math problem solving ability from a fourth to fifth grade level" I'll scream.joycemochahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14432039547225718943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-52041083048215473232009-03-06T07:44:00.000-05:002009-03-06T07:44:00.000-05:00IEPs sent via email are as secure as you checking ...IEPs sent via email are as secure as you checking your TRS online, online banking, online purchasing, checking your medical coverage. <BR/><BR/>Welcome to the 21st Century!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29536003.post-74254263977374164052009-03-06T07:01:00.000-05:002009-03-06T07:01:00.000-05:00Special Education which has never really worked fo...Special Education which has never really worked for many special needs children in this city is in complete choas. You can take a guess as to who we owe that to.<BR/><BR/>I am not sure that sending IEPs via e-mail it totally kosher. IEPs<BR/>are suppose to be kept in a safe and secure place for the reasons of confidentiality. The teacher can have copies but they must be kept in a secure place.<BR/><BR/>Humm I live for the day I savvy parent sues the DOE for all the violations going on. IEPs via e-mail are not necessarily secure.<BR/>Just the opinion of a Spec.
