What You Need to Know From Our Live Q & A

Extended School Year (ESY) Services

Did you go the ESY Restaurant where there is only one choice on the menu?  You know, where the only option is what the district has been offering for the past few decades...
 

If this is the predetermined ESY program for your school district you'll want to check out the video training below.

 

 

Or if prefer to read, here's a handy-dandy eGuide version of the Extended School Year video. Click here.

 

Progress Monitoring Data

If you were a betting person, would you bet that most parents get IEP Progess Reports that don't tell them much about their child's progress?  I bet you're right.

 

Go to the time stamp 5:48 from the Q & A video to hear tips about getting more meaningful Progress Reports.

Restraint & Seclusion with Dr. Ross Greene

I briefly mentioned an excellent webinar where one of the points Dr. Greene made was that instead of managing behaviors we need to be managing expectations.  His webinar is available until Tuesday, May 24th at 5:00 pm EST.  Click here. Password is ReducingR&S22.

Don't Leave the Gold Nuggets Behind
There are things that went well this school year and now is the time to capture those! Ask your child's current staff that work with them to write down some of your child's strengths so next year's teachers can build on those. 

You can also have staff share what accommodations worked well this year so their new teacher won't have to reinvent the wheel.

Make sure to capture your child's input as to what they liked about school this year and what they are hoping next year will look like. This can also be shared with teachers next year.

Go to the 18 minute time stamp in our Q & A video to hear more positive ideas for wrapping up the school year.

 

 

Keep advocating for the education EVERY child deserves!

 

 

P.S. No live training on Thursday, May 26th because our 4 grandkids get out early on their last of school so my husband and I will be celebrating with them!
