Iep Reflection

Starting 7th grade in a secondary school can be a horrifying experience for any 12-year old. Going from a piddling elementary school to a voluminous secondary school can be tough to adjust to, especially if you have an IEP. Having an IEP has always made me insecure about how I perform in school. I feel as if I am not as smart at the other kids, and most people don’t understand. Many people don’t know what an IEP is and I fear that when I tell them they might think I’m dumb.
The first few weeks of school were great. I had stupendous grades, and I was flourishing in all of my classes. But after a while, I stared to skip school with my friends, because we thought classes were dull. Since I had an IEP school didn’t matter to me because as long as I reached the academic goal I’d be fine. I didn’t care if I failed or passed a test because nothing mattered to me. I thought I was stupid and that no one thought that I was smart, so what was the point of being there? My stellar grades dropped tremendously. But I still didn’t care. I felt so lost and misplaced. I didn’t want anyone to know that I have an IEP. I didn’t care about anything! As long as I received a D I was happy. I avoided school so I wouldn’t feel stupid. But when I would harsh grades it made me upset. I really wanted to do well in school but I just didn’t have the …show more content…

If class work was to callous I’d complain to my case manager. I’d tell her that I didn’t have enough time or that I have lots other work to do, so she would get me out of any work that I dint want to do. My case manger got me lots of extensions on projects, homework, and test. But I didn’t take advantage of any of it. My grades were dropping faster than ever, and so was my self-esteem. I had detention all the time at the end of the year I had D’s and C’s in all of my core classes. Because of my poor grades my teachers decided to add more accommodations and wanted to be stricter on me the next

After high school I am hoping to attend Indiana University to major in Human Biology in pursuit of one day becoming a physician’s assistant. During my high school years I have put fourth much effort to succeed to the best of my ability. I have taken many courses throughout the years that have pushed me and allowed me to start shaping the career path that I plan to take. During the summer before my junior year I found out that my parents were getting a divorce. When I found out, the only thing I could think about was how my life was never going to be the same.

It becomes the blueprint for the student’s education for the current school year.” I think looking at the IEP in this light is so incredibly important. If teachers and parents understand that it is both the “blueprint” and an accountability tool, the IEP will be more effective and meaningful. Every student deserves to have the best possible education, and the IEP helps to ensure that this happens among students with disabilities.

I looked different, and was treated differently. I was often bullied for who I was and thought the best way to make it stop, was to fit in. I started wearing similar clothing, walking, talking and acting like the kids around me. I had lost whom I was, was no better assimilated, and was still picked on. I had enough.

The IEP form that I examined is not the same student I worked with during my lesson. The IEP that I observed was for Student I. Student I has difficulties with writing the correct letter formations and with line placement. He also has a speech impediment when it comes to pronouncing certain words. While examining the student’s form I found that the student receives help for his speech impediment from a speech therapist at the school and he also receives help from an occupational therapist for his line formation and placement. Student I is in a regular classroom and routinely gets help from his therapists and from the ESE teacher.

I personally believe it’s better to aim low and be happy that I achieved what I wanted rather than plan too far ahead and be disappointed in having not achieved that specific goal. While this sounds like it would screw me in the long term so far in this life minus a few things that were out of my control then I have done a pretty good job so far. So now for the reason why I believe that you risk hurting yourself in the long road by planning ahead too far, the brain does better with short term goals, and finally why I believe this to be the case using examples from my life. I would also like to apologize for how dark this essay might get on that last reason and hope that this doesn’t off put me in your eyes. (talk about how depression started

But you see, once I got to this new fancy school, it was just filled with more phonies. Well, anyway, I did end up passing all my classes except one, this one class nearly killed me. I did apply myself like that D.B. asked me to, but I just couldn’t pass that class. Nowadays I work for this lousy newspaper editorial.

Five weeks in, I’ve managed to get a hold of Joe to address my situation at the EEOC. I have yet to be assigned to an investigator/department but I’ve tried to make the most of my time while sitting in intake. I realized during my time there that many people do not understand how the EEOC operates – they come into the office expecting to meet an investigator the same day but are often sent away because afternoons are reserved for appointments (and mornings for walk-ins). From what I understand, one of the goals of outreach are to educate people about the resources that are available to them… perhaps it’s not reaching enough people?

I remember one day actually putting in effort in my work,asking questions, and making mistakes like a student. It was an amazing feeling to finally get an A on something I created. It wasn’t soon enough that I returned to my hard headed emotions and a false bravado during class. It doesn’t feel good to get a failing grade in front of people you know. After a while it just didn’t concern me ,yet failing the fifth grade felt like my fate.

a. I began by gathering information from the counselor’s office and the district office. I felt is was important to have all the information needed to complete the IIR. I was able to locate information on the Department of Secondary Education as well. The superintendent was able to direct me to specific locations for the information that would be needed. The district Comprehension and Guidance and School Counseling Program and the state program information was helpful in locating data.

Consequently, I asked my Grandmother why she did not want me to go to the school; being that she was the person who did not want me to go to the school the most. The reason she did not want me to go the school because she believed that I would not have a regular high school life. Which, I would reply to her the same way I would always reply to her when she would say that to me. I went through months of hearing the same argument and each time I would get angry. The worst part was when it was time for me to go to the school and be tested to get into the school.

The past four years of my life hold both my highest of highs and my lowest of lows. High school can be a very awkward time period in a person’s life. Four years ago, I made the intimidating switch from St. Mary’s School to Algoma High School. There were certain aspects of high school which made me nervous, but academics was not one of them. I learned how to be a responsible student in my earlier years, and school had always come relatively easy to me.
