IEP Decisions: The Critical Role of the SpEd Teacher
There is a strong expectation that ARD committees tie IEP decisions to hard data concerning student performance and needs. Teachers are the best-equipped professionals to provide this data! This training will focus on the legal obligation regarding gathering objective information, and practical tips on reporting that input to the ARD committee. We will also address topics related to roles, responsibilities, and participation at the ARD meeting to help you and your district come to legally sound, and defensible decisions.
DATE TIME LOCATION
4/7/2022 1 - 4 PM Reg 17 ESC - South B
Are you new to the Special Education and ARD process? Do you still have questions about what you need to know before going to an ARD? On February 26th, Region 14 will host its annual meeting for parents of students who receive special education services. Attorney Eric Rodriguez and Region 14’s Special Education Director Lisa White will provide you with legal and practical information and resources that will help you feel more comfortable as you navigate the ARD process.
This training is voluntary and not required nor is it a part of your child’s special education program through your school district.
