For my IEP Stakeholder Interview paper, the two people I decided to interview are Mrs. Shaw and My Mother Wanda Hayward. Mrs. Shaw is a Teacher that works with students in the Pathway Educational program on Campus for students with disabilities. My Mother Wanda Hayward is a retired ESE support facilitator. She worked in the school district for fifteen years and as an ESE support Facilitator for three years. At the beginning of the interview, they both expressed that they were nervous. Of course, it was explained to them on both occasions to relax and that they were going to do a great job.
One of the questions that were asked during the interview was what would you consider the most difficult part of an IEP? Mrs. Shaw and Professor Stegall expressed both agreed that the most difficult part of an IEP is redoing IEP from another county. Mrs. Shaw also stated that on numerous occasion she has noticed that the student is …show more content…

According to Mrs. Shaw, she had experienced the process of an IEP in a private school setting as well as public. Mrs.Shaw stated that in a private school the process of an IEP is basically built around that school district. The example she gave was how here in Polk County, you have to rely on them to come and covert the IEP into a plan that allows the parents to receive additional funding to help pay for that individual education. During my interview with Ms. Hayward she stated that she actually never worked in a private school setting. One thing that they both stated that I found very interesting is how a parent is welcomed to bring as many people as they want. Ms. Hayward also stressed the importance to always start a meeting off with blank IEP. Ms. Hayward stated that on many occasions she was frown upon for not wanted to create the IEP prior to sitting down with the parents

She knows that the process works, and she has seen the positive and successful ending results in students, and that the students educational improvement is what implementing this program is all about. Educational interventions used in schools are researched-based, so following the proper steps and process is crucial in the success of the intervention. Also, every teacher that is implementing this program needs to follow the same steps and procedures so all students involved are getting the exact same teaching. If a student is moved to a different classroom, or if the teacher is gone for a day, the process should be the same in every room so the students are getting the same material and instruction. If Jane and Alison have a relationship including trust, Jane should be able to see the passion Alison has for this program being followed the correct way to ensure student improvement, and trust that following the exact steps are critical in its

According to her IEP team, Stacy should remain in the least restrictive environment, or the general education classroom, while working towards her goals. Later on in the document it states that Stacy should be in a special education class sometimes, but for most of her learning she should remain in the general education classroom, which is again important because of reasons I stated in my previous example. The term LRE is very necessary to be mentioned in an IEP because it indicates how much time a student will spend in the general education classroom, and how much time they will spend in another class, like a special education class. Being in these different types of classrooms can show how severe a students disability is, or what kind of disability they have, and can affect the kind of help they receive and how well they might transition into living an independent life upon graduation. For most students, it is best to have them remain in the general education classroom to maintain being social with their peers, but sadly some students don’t have this option and have to be in another type of class to benefit them the

Being in close contact with and providing all information to all members of the team is of vital importance to the overall success of the IEP process and moving the student forward to the best of their abilities. I have experienced an IEP team coming together and basically just reviewing the IEP with parents, with little to no input from the family, and making it sound like the family just needed to agree with what was written in the IEP, and I want to avoid this approach with all future IEP meetings that I am involved in. I would also like to send a draft IEP to the family in advance, so they can review the document and come to the meetings prepared with questions and recommendations. I would also like to make sure that all members of the team, to the absolute best of their ability, are in attendance at IEP meetings. The dedication of the IEP team, and the execution of proper IEP procedures are of vital importance to the overall success of the child with identified special needs and a commitment we must adhere to for all of our students

Teachers and other professionals require more training to work effectively with interpreters and pick up on body language and social, nonverbal cues. Teachers also need more training to work with bilingual students and their families. Wolfe and Duran (2013) also suggested that professionals provide knowledge to parents about IDEA and current laws concerning special education, informing them of their rights and the responsibilities of the school. Parents should be provided special training about the IEP process to become familiar with the steps and their role in the meeting. Access to other parents with students involved in special education could provide parents with a network of support.

Case Scenario Practicing in a school setting, there are numerous individuals in the same building looking to positively impact and change students’ lives. Interdisciplinary staff consistently work together to meet the various needs of the diverse student population. As the social worker, I am privy to the strengths and weaknesses of clients as they are presented to me by the student and his/her family and shared in interdisciplinary team meetings upon the consent to do so by the student’s parent(s) or guardian(s). Teachers are only present and involved in the interdisciplinary meetings when a student assigned to their class is being discussed.

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a federal law enacted in 1990 and reauthorized in 1997 and 2004. It is designed to protect the rights of students with disabilities by ensuring that everyone receives a free appropriate public education (FAPE), regardless of ability. Furthermore, IDEA strives not only to grant equal access to students with disabilities, but also to provide additional special education services and procedural safeguards. Special education services are individualized to meet the unique needs of students with disabilities and are provided in the least restrictive environment. Special education may include individual or small group instruction, curriculum or teaching modifications, assistive technology,

At the end of the week, I had a meeting with the master teacher about the student and we had a dissection about my data collected about the student. After that, we start discussing what the student needs and the student's communication skills.

Others may think the team could easily be just the general and special education teachers, but I believe that every member is crucial and dire to a successful IEP meeting, whether it be to mediate or to pitch in ideas. Another aspect that I really like and appreciate in the meeting is the inclusion of the child. This is important in my eyes because the student may think the IEP is made only to slow down or show that the teachers are against the student. The inclusion of the student in the meeting shows the collaboration of both sides of the classroom and with the student’s parents. Every step and piece of an IEP or IEP meeting is critical to the child, its learning, and the parents.
