FYI Parents: If your child receives special education services and has an IEP (Individualized Education Plan)..the school is obligated to abide by what is written in that document (because it is a LEGAL contract)...READ THE DOCUMENT PARENTS...check in to ensure the services are provided according to the document! If the school is not abiding by the document, it is now out of compliance.

The Life of a Special Educator!

(1/3) “I got my first classroom when I was twenty-two. I was so young at the time. I think I first went into special education imagining that I’d be hanging out with kids all day. I’ve been teaching for ten years now. Special education is a lot more exhausting than I imagined. It’s like a performance. You need to be ‘on’ the entire day. You need to be strict. You need to always say the right thing and respond in just the right way. I do enjoy it, but in a different way than I imagined. Many of my students come from broken places. Some are homeless or live in foster homes. So the gains come slowly and can be difficult to track. But I get joy from seeing my students want to learn. It’s very fulfilling for me if I can inspire my students to want to read a little better, or get a job, or be kinder to their classmate. It can be very tough sometimes to feel like you’re making a difference. I remember during one of my first years, I was teaching a group of nonverbal students how to take turns, and everything went to hell and the students started screaming and beating their heads against the table. Then my best-behaved student turned and bit me. I thought: ‘I failed. I made things worse.’ But anytime I feel myself burning out, or losing patience, or not giving it my all, I pull back and do some meditation. Because if I’m not fully present and trying my hardest to make a difference, I should just quit.”

Attention all parents!!! If your child is deemed eligible for special education services. The school has 60 days to implement an individualized education plan (IEP).

Understand that an IEP is a legal document that we HIGHLY ENCOURAGE you to review and READ biannually to ensure your child is receiving the appropriate services and instruction to increase their academic and social success. If you notice there are errors or the IEP is not accurately written you have LEGAL rights and power to schedule a review!
