STAFF PARTY
IEP Institute at Teachers College
Below are some of the quotes that stood out for me during the conference. We came back with some great insight into students with IEPs and difficult behaviors. We will share information with you after the holidays.
"They are only special ed in school." C. Cruz
"Use the progressions to set your IEP goals." C. Cruz
"Don't quit, take a break" C. Cruz
"Reading is a habit, not homework." C. Cruz
"Behavior is communication." C. Cruz
"Our work is not to fix kids." C. Minor
"Instead of being surprised by that reality just accept it." C. Minor
- His wife's response to him after coming home every night depressed about his student's behavior. She was suggesting to him to accept that the students response will be the same as long as his actions remain the same as the teacher.
"The child that is shunned by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth." West African
"That student is not mad at me, he is mad at the system I represent." C. Minor
"The things that scare me are the things we accept as normal." C. Minor
